The Bonny Eagle Scots girls xc team might be a team many don't have on the radar screen after an 8th place finish in the Class A state meet last fall, but we're telling you they are a team to watch out for this fall in Class A. With the entire varsity squad back from last fall, plus the addition of a some new runners who ran well this spring make the Scots one of the top teams in A this fall. The Scots have returning runners Samantha Cox & Kristen Glennie back as the top runners from last year, Cox placed 15th in the state meet last fall while Glennie was 22nd. Add in a much improved Kyuanna Libby who took off during the outdoor season running a 5:13 1600m, plus the addition of Lexie Veyda ran 5:35 and 12:23 last spring & Mary Szatkowski who was the Scots top 3200m runner 11:31.66 outdoors.This should give the Scots 5 girls capable of being in the top 25 & make the Scots one of the team favorites as they shoot for the first xc state title in school history.
Coach Strout says....
"Any year when you return your whole varsity squad you get excited for the upcoming season. We have the largest team we have had in recent memory with 16 girls running for us this year.
We have a few transfers from other sports that look like they may give us some depth this year. We also have Shawna Meserve coming back this year after missing most of cross country last year and Anna Weyand who might make a run for our 7th varsity spot.
As always the goals are in this order. To have fun, improve as a team, and run fast in October. Other than the championship races we are keying on our meet against Cheverus and Massabesic. Those teams are consistently two of the best distance programs around and if we can run well against them it will really show us where we stand in the state."
