Coach Reinhard – “Coming off of one of the strongest years in the history of cross country at Emmaus, the girls team graduated an extremely talented three out of its top five runners. There is no doubt that we are rebuilding this year, but we hold high hopes for a strong and successful season.
“Seniors Mady McCartney and Olivia Fleck are the captains who are already working hard to create a symphony among the girls’ team, keeping them happy and healthy to prepare for their performances.”
“There are several teams who will be extremely strong this year, so there continues to be that challenge ahead to perform at a higher level to reach the ultimate goal. We are excited to watch who will develop and step into the big shoes that need to be filled in order to remain competitive at the top.”
