Scout Boys Open Cross Country Season Wednesday

Last Year’s Record:              The Scouts finished 2-4 in dual meet competition. 

Last Year’s Highlights:         Lake Forest placed fourth in the North Suburban Conference Meet and advanced from the Regionals to the Sectional Meet as a team. 

Season Opener:                     The Scouts open the season at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Lake County Meet at the Lakewood Forest Preserve. 

Top Returning Scouts:         Billy Bund, Sean Jones and Liam Gayter. 

Other Leading Runners:      Matthew Buddell, Mark Benson, Tim Dugan, Owen Platt and Franke Thoedore. 

Season Outlook:                    Our strength this season is the team’s belief in themselves and the dedication and work ethic that they are putting into each and every day,” Coach Nathan Sweet said. “Our biggest challenge will be to tighten our time gaps between each runner. We are not as large of a team as we have been in the past years so our depth is not as big as it has been.”
