Coach: Mike Nyberg (first year)

Last year’s results: Boys — 10th in Eastern A; Girls — Eighth in Eastern A.

Returning athletes: Boys: Senior — Luc Bourget, Ben Foster, Midhun Gelder, Adam Robinson; Juniors — Tony Gardner, Izaac White; Girls: Seniors — Darian Kopka, Crystal Labonte, Keira Wooten.

Key losses: Justin LeClair, Abby Dunn.

Promising newcomers: Boys: Senior — Roger Charest, Robbie Hollis; Sophomore — Jake Bazinet, Freshman — Spencer Dunn; Girls: Senior — Liz Bouchard; Junior — Avery Laliberte; Sophomore — Mercedes Lane; Freshmen — Ashley Joyner, Kailey Norcross, Kasey Pinkham.

Outlook: The Red Eddies are trying to build themselves back into contention after qualifying one runner for states last year. Bourget leads the boys as their No. 1, but they will be relying mostly on underclassmen such as Bazinet, Gardner and White to keep scores low. New addition Laliberte bolsters a solid veteran core of girls led by Kopka, Labonte and Wooten.

Coach’s comment: “It’s a young team. Our expectations are to go all the way to states and do well at states.” Coach Mike Nyberg
