Coach: Dan Crooker (second year)

Returning players: Boys: Seniors — Adam Mahar, Ben Lewis, Casey Kellner, Matthew Keane; Sophomore — Josef Holt-Andrews

Key losses: Girls: Morgan Lee.

Promising newcomers: Boys: Sophomore — Bronson Dean; Freshman — Greg Wheeler; Girls: Freshman — Gabby Stone.

Overview: The Rebels finished third in the MVC last year and should contend again with all of their runners returning. Holt-Andrews finished third in Class C as a freshman and should solidify his place among the top runners in the state. Lewis, whose junior campaign was hindered by a broken foot, and Mahar are coming off strong track seasons and should score well. Dean excelled in the mile in track as a freshman and adds more depth.

Coach’s comment: “I look for the team to step up to the challenge of being a top MVC team.” — Coach Dan Crooker
