Top Returners

Olivia Forsberg

First cross campaign was one of gradual progress. Olivia began with a few efforts in the 22’s but was consistently in the low-20’s to end the fall.

Sage Parsons

Another upcoming sophomore, last year with an even greater drop than Forsberg. During August, Sage was on the wrong side of 23:00, by championship time, she was a mid-21 performer.

Catherine Taft

Dropped nearly two minutes off her freshman best. Catherine also moved from a girl whose best JPC finish was 28th as a freshman to a sophomore always between 19th and 21st.

Potential Newcomers

Sophia Buzzelli

Jack Pine Champion, top-10 at Portage, and owner of many low-12 efforts.

Lauren Leis

Runner-up to Sophia in many of these middle school meets, even blasted a sub-13 at Shepherd

Brooklinn Barcia

When your worst finish in a Jack Pine Jamboree is 8th, you know you’ve got a good season going. Brooklinn was also a mid-13 girl at Shepherd, a course that you know is legit.

Elizabeth Letherer

Managed to slip under 14:00 in late October.

Grace Russell

The JPC is always a conference you can count on for XC and she was 11th-13th at their three jamborees.
