The 2025 boys cross country team has already assembled a strong body of work this summer and look to build momentum throughout the season. Senior Reilly Meyer looks to have a resurgent year, and will be getting help from Jacob Turner and Elijah Grissom who lead the charge for the Thunderhawks. The team will look to work together in packs on race day and secure strong team finishes in the conference and region.
The senior led 2025 girls cross country team expects to have one of the best seasons in recent memory at East. Lead by the sensational quartet of Molly Deardorff, Ava Dickenson, Elise Brown, and freshman phenom Alyssa Browne, there is no limit to the success this team can find. The Hawks have their sights set on a GMC title and a bid to the State meet in November and expect to contend amongst the best teams in the state all season.
