Key loss: Deanna Richards.
Promising newcomers: Seniors — Macee Qi (middle distance, distance), Casey Rogers (distance), Sarah Wade (distance), Emma Enoch (middle distance), Sylvia Ventura (race walk, middle distance); Sophomore — Roshan Luick (race walk); Freshmen — Maggie Hickey (distance), Julia Ramsey (middle distance, throws), Darby Sabin (throws, race walk).
Season outlook: Mt. Blue benefits from the arrival of several proven senior athletes out for track for the first time or after a hiatus, including Nordic skiing champion Wade. Nicely was a multi-event scorer at the KVAC meet a year ago. Beauchamp, Crandall and Hoes also were strong contributors. The Cougars have versatility that should allow them to cover all events.
