Top prospects: Lance Wood and James Goodwin, Mikayla Bridges Key losses: Scott McMeen
Additional comments: “We have not had a junior high program for the past 15 years but have one now. Things that are great about cross country, you get into great shape. You can go all the way to state as an individual or with your team. It only takes five team members to score. You can run for the rest of your life,” Axel said.
Overall projection of team’s chances in the Northeast A League: “We are a young team facing three of the state’s top three teams in Riverside, the defending state champion, and runners up Lakeside and Medical Lake,” coach Axel said.
Head coach: Rory Axel
Strengths: Newport cross country has a strong core group to build on with a strong group of eighth graders coming in next year.
Occupation: Washington State social worker for the past 15 years
Weaknesses: The Grizzlies are a young group without a lot of experience. By next year it will be almost all freshmen and sophomores, coach Axel said.
