Coach: Ann Speth (first year) and Charlie Maddaus (first year)

Last year’s record: Girls: 9th at Class C states; Boys: 10th at Class C states.

Returning skiers: Boys: Senior — Nathan Gould; Junior — Mike Chow; Sophomores — Sawyer Smith, Ethan Cantin, Sam Rock, Oscar DeRoche. Girls: Juniors — Addie Fuller, Silvia Lutick; Sophomore — Krystal Blood.

Key losses: N/A.

Promising newcomers: N/A.

Outlook: The Cougars’ boys’ squad should be strong, with a handful of skiers back from last season and a solid summer of training behind them. The girls finally have a full team for the first time in a while, and should do well to improve upon last year’s result.

Coach’s comment: “The goal for this young team is to make steady progress throughout the season so that by states, we will have at least three boys and three girls in the top 20.” — Coach Ann Speth
