The boys' team looks to build team success this year upon the individual success enjoyed last season by the graduated class. With 15 members, the largest turnout for the team in several years, Coach Pfaff looks to win meets as a team, something the program has had very little success with as of late. Returning runners include three-year senior captain Fred Wills, three-year Pat Noonan, and returnees Camillo Ochoa and Dan Conti. Also, track runners Kevin Atterberry, Matt Melhouse, Dan Mencarelli, Rob Ross, and John Arraya.
For the girls, getting enough runners for the team has been the first goal, but the team is led by two talented junior runners in Alison Janowski and Sara Leventhal. The home course is Roosevelt Forest in Stratford.
