CHELTENHAM GIRLS’ CROSS COUNTRY PREVIEW
Coach: Tom Hasty (5th season)
Last year’s record: 4-2
Notable losses: Tabatha DeHart, Ally Gardiner, Liz Ellis, Kendra Rucker
Key returnees: Maria Papacostas (Jr.), Francine Marquis (Sr.), Azure Rucker (Jr.)
Others to watch: Beth Morgan (Soph.), Sandy Lu (Sr.)
Strength: “Our new varsity runners have distance experience from spring track, which should help them progress fast through the season.”
Question marks: “As of now, we are a small team of about 10. Will we have seven girls ready to run varsity level races? Time will tell.”
Overall outlook: “With such small numbers and so early in the season, it is too hard to tell. Based on our limited summer miles, it will take the team a good part of the season to be able to run strong races.”
