UPPER MERION BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY PREVIEW

Assistant coaches: Mike Francis

Last year’s record:  SOL 6-1 Second in American Conference, District finish 29th

Austin Cooper (league champion, districts: 25th, State qualifier – 47th): Running for IUP
John Gross and Mike Hranek – both varsity runners

Others to watch: Too early to tell

Outlook:  “We’re rebuilding this year. We’ve lost 3 key runners to graduation including the league champion. We have a large group of juniors who will hopefully be ready to step up to fill the gaps and three returning varsity members to lead the way. Only time will tell how this season pans out.”
