Cross Country – Defending EPC and District XI Girls team looks to once again being amongst the best heading into the upcoming season. PREVIEW:

Senior Hailey Reinhard is the defending District XI Champion

Coach – Kami Reinhard (2nd Year)

Last year – 17-0

Key losses: Belle Lees, Madison Toretta, Bethany Brown 

Returners:  Sr. Hailey Reinhard, Sr. Nicole Nosal, Jr. Sophia Kovalski, Jr. Addison Shank, Jr. Brooke Miller, Jr. Ava Rincon, Jr. Makenzie Monfredi, So. Payton Campbell, So. Isabella Scarlata

Newcomers: Fr. Madelyn McCartney, Fr. Olivia Fleck, Fr. Kate Neward, So. Addison Johnson

Coach Reinhard: “We graduated three seniors who were on our post-season team from last year so we head into another season with some question marks and shoes to fill. We lost one of the most consistent runners and leaders in Isabela Lees whom we could always count on. We look to Natalie Mack, Nicole Nosal and Hailey Reinhard to lead the girls team as our senior leaders.”

“Our focus is to take it one day at a time, one meet at a time and enjoy the process and team camaraderie right now.  We have five returning athletes who raced in last year’s District XI race and we look to them to keep the bar high. Even if our team performs similar to last year, we know there are several other teams who are even stronger this year. So, we will keep the goal of working together as a team to be the best we can be, and hopefully that amounts to keeping up with those strong teams.”

“There are many athletes, new and returning, who have worked incredibly hard this summer who could make a big difference on our team this year. We are excited to watch the season unfold, which I think will be a very competitive season among many athletes and teams.”
