Head Coach/Assistant Coaches: Joel Zehr / Dave Getz, Joe Zeller
Last Year's Finish: 4th place- State
Key Returners: Cade Zobrist (Jr.), Tyson Martin (Sr.), Brody Zobrist (Sr.), Keegan Anderson (Jr.)
Projected Top 7: C. Zobrist, Martin, Zobrist, Anderson, Tristan Sturhahn (Jr.), Josh Weeks (Fr.), Yonas Wuthrich (Fr.)
New Additions: Josh Weeks, Yonas Wuthrich- 2019 IESA state and runner-ups
Unexpected Losses: None
Coach Zehr's Outlook: As we are all aware, this season may look very different from seasons past. Although we are unsure what the coming weeks may look like for competitions, our boys are committed to working as a team to make each other better teammates and runners. However the season develops, we are first and foremost committed to running as a team. Given the chance to race, this fall, we have a strong core of men who learned throughout last season how to race together (our 2-5 split late in the season was 25-30 seconds), we have several new additions who will likely join that pack, as well as returning runners who are eager to be a part of that group.
Carson's Thoughts: It's not often that one will see two freshmen at the head of a table for an established and respected program. I watched both Weeks and Wuthrich compete at the IESA State meet and they are something special. I'm expecting both to go at least 15:30 this year and help lead their team to a state title.
