Inside Scoop: Mt Desert Island Girls

 

Last fall MDI put on a clinic at the state meet on how to run in a pack as the Trojans had a 14 second spread for runners 1-5, which is unheard at any level. With 5 of the tp 16 runners overall it was clear MDI came in on a mission and accomplished it with flying colors. For the rest of Class B this team will be tough to beat as all 7 varisty runners are back as they aim for 2 in a row. While it's never easy to repeat and with a strong Camden Hills team ready to challenge if the Trojans stay healthy they should be in a favorable position. Coach Sirois thinks everyone will contribute in some way. It takes a whole team from JV to Varsity to make a program. The best thing about this team is that it doesn't just have one runner capable at being #1 it has 5, a great luxury for any coach.

 

Coach Sirois says....

Everyone on our team is really excited about this season. Everyone is really looking forward to working hard, challenging themselves, and having fun. New additions always contribute on both the JV and Varsity levels. Everyone helps one another stay motivated and stay positive. Our team goals are to work hard, have fun, and challenge our capabilities.
