| We couldn't find a better picture. |
The 2017 cross country season is upon us. We have a seasoned yet young group of runners led by our lone senior and boys' captain Mike Paustian. Mike provides the sage wisdom that every team looks for from their leader. Coming off some major breakthroughs in his junior season, accompanied by a strong summer of training, the only thing that can stand in his way of glory is the Immaculata parking lot. He oversees a trio of sophomores: Michael Blandino, Giovanni DeSapio, and TJ Harkins. After strong freshman campaigns by these three, they will be leaned upon heavily to continue to step up and improve if the team is going to reach its potential. Rounding out the boys' team is freshman Sean Castellano. Sean has shown tremendous upside early in his debut season and will be thrown into the fire as a scoring member of this team sooner rather than later.
On the girls' side, junior captain Ali Wehrhahn leads the way. Ali really started to flash some of her potential late in the spring track season, and as long as she can stay healthy, there is no limit to what she will be able to achieve in the future. Next to Ali on the girls side we have three of her classmates: Sophia Gonzales, Taylor Luger, and Carly Makowicz. These girls have shown consistent improvement over the course of their running careers, and based on their determination and summer training, the strong indication is that their improvement arrow will continue to point upwards.
Stay tuned over the next few weeks for individual athlete spotlights. And continue to visit RunIHS as your home to all Immaculata Cross Country news, results, and updates.
