Overview: Leavitt lost some top skiers from the team that won the Class A girls’ title and was second in the boys’ state meet, but the depth and talent remain outstanding. Fereshetian and McGray will be top skiers for the girls. Adams, Chase, Drouin and Rabon lead the boys, who may be the Hornets’ best bet for a title this winter.
Coach’s comment: “The boys will be in contention for a state title. The entire team has the experience and motivation to be at the top and to have success again this season.” – Coach Dustin Williamson
