Track
Coach: Todd Mercer (3rd year)
Key returning athletes: Seniors – Jessica Mitaly (pole vault); Ethan Ray (mid-distance), Cody Chase (sprints); Juniors – Sam Eldridge (distance, pole vault), Will Danieli (sprints); Sophomore – Amanda Peterson.
Key loss: Ben Miklovich.
Promising newcomers: Sophomore – Josh Bagdon; Freshman: Emily Harlow.
Outlook: This is going to be the first of at least a few solid years for this program. The Patriots are bottom-heavy in terms of age, but the crux of this team, the sophomore class, is already showing it can be a force. With nearly 70 athletes combined, this group will flood events with participants, and with some of the high-end talent, may make some serious noise come time for the conference meet.
Coach’s comment: “We will be strong competitors, I think we may surprise a few people this season. We’re on our way to a hugely successful team. We keep raising the bar, and they keep jumping higher.” – Coach Todd Mercer
