2011 was quite a year for the Bangor Ram boys xc team & first year coach Adam Goode as they went from not qualifying for the state the previous 4 year to state runner-up in Class A. The Rams return 4 of their top 7 from a year ago, inlcuding top runner Jonathan Stanhope. While last year was a dream season, don't count Bangor out in 2012 as they gained valuable experience last fall with a young team. Watch out Caleb Halvoson-Fried who was the top 3200m runner outdoor with his 10:22.57 & Jacob Archer who had a great freshman year finishing 26th in the state meet.
Coach Goode is excited about the depth of his roster this fall. One of the newcomers is freshman Colin Glencross who is expected to make an immediate impact. Look for Bangor to be one of the best teams in the east again this year, they won the regional title last fall. Add in the returners from last fall, and those that improved on the track in the spring & the Rams have the making of a team that will make a run at the state title this fall.
Coach Goode says....
The Bangor High Boys Cross Country team is excited about this fall. We lost some reliable seniors from last season, but return an exciting group. The returners have done a great job recruiting new members, logging summer miles, and focusing on building on our strengths from last season.
We have four more spots filled on our roster compared to 2011, which will add to our depth. A solid group of new seniors and incoming freshman account for most of that growth. We expect that Jon Stanhope will have familiar teammates who will help him up front.
We look forward to seeing all the other teams at meets this fall and are focusing on Class A Regionals and States.
