Ousted by injury last year he is back but not totally healed. “He again has a minor injury limiting his workload in presea- son so we are cautiously opti- mistic,” said Arsenault. “Hogan, when healthy, will run with Force. With backup support from veterans like Paul Gesel, Joe Dami, Carson Cape and Gar- rett Stevens the boys could bring together a respectable team. Both the Girls and Boys teams are coming into the sea- son with a great positive vibe. We have a lot to be excited about.” Jessica just missed a top 20 spot last year while still com- mitted to the soccer team. This year she will be with the XC team full time. “I see no reason for Jess to miss the top 10 and the right to advance to MOC,” said Schan- laber. “Jackie is in top form com- ing into preseason and the sky is the limit for her. No reason for her to shoot for anything but the number one spot in division III. Having Shanlaber to train with could make all the differ- ence.” Newcomers Ben Higgins and Cody Lanpher have shown promise in the preseason train- ing. They could have some sol- id long distance speed. Derek Roy who also comes from track for his first XC season could de- velop into a good 5K runner. Makenna Force – only a seventh- grader - is a pretty unknown force but has really looked strong and dedicated to team in preseason workouts, said Force.
