Coach Reinhard: “There are several boys with a strong drive to help their team be a top EPC and District XI performer. We look to replace four of our top eight runners heading into the season, but the good news is that we have had two large and strong incoming freshmen classes the past two years who are extremely dedicated to the sport. They have worked incredibly hard this summer training, while also enjoying time to rest and recover.”
