“We are a young team with a great group of veteran runners,” noted Coach Erickson.  “Our junior high program is strong and I have no doubt that they will be helping out the varsity squads towards the end of the season.”

Erickson is looking to Liz Franzese to join Julia Schmidt, Braylen Schmidt and Karter Martinek as consistent varsity performers, and sees Jacob Blume and Carter Fickes being main varsity fixtures for the boys’ after having gained varsity race experience last season.
