Coach: T.J. Niles (first year)
Last year: Boys, fourth in KVAC, seventh in state; Girls, ninth in KVAC.
Returning athletes: Boys: Seniors — Kevin Lavertu, Matt Chouinard; Junior — Mohamed Barre. Girls: Senior — Nicole Court-Menendez; Junior — Emily Craft; Sophomore — Faith Shaw.
Key losses: Boys: Hussein Ibrahim, Tanner Adams, Kyle Clabby, Russ Caliguiri; Girls: Ali Butler.
Promising newcomers: Boys: Sophomore — Mohamed Mohamed. Girls: Sophomore — Mana Abdi; Freshman — Taylor True.
Outlook: With Lavertu and Barre returning from last year with the addition of Mohamed, the Blue Devil boys have a strong top three and expect to improve upon last year. The girls have only seven runners, so staying healthy is crucial. But the addition of Abdi and True enhances their hopees of qualifying for states.
Coach’s comment: “We will be heavily relying on the back half of the varsity team to step up and test their limits in races and workouts.” — Coach T.J. Niles
