2022 Season Outlook

The Lakota East men’s cross country team returns 5 of their top 7 varsity athletes from 2021 and adds some young freshman talent to the mix which should lead to a great deal of success in 2022.  The top returning members of the team include seniors Marshall Novean, Sean Castillo, Andrew Gibson, Ian Balfour, Jake Boeskool, Nick Boeskool, and Tyler Linam.  Sophomores Evan Aponte and Blake Gibbs should add some depth to the varsity roster as well.  They will be joined by freshmen Reilly Meyer and Luke Nomina, who both look to make an impact on the varsity team this Fall.  Last year the Hawks placed 3^rd at GMC, were District Runner-Ups, and 14^th at the Regional Championships.  They look to improve on all of those results this season and have a team goal of qualifying to the State Championships in 2022.

The Lakota East women’s cross country team returns superstar Jocey Willis for one more season, coming off of 3 years of state experience in cross country and a Regional Championship in the 1600 meters this past Spring in track.  Jocey looks to put all of the pieces together this year and get onto the podium at the State Championships.  She will be joined on the varsity team by returning juniors Brooke Wilson and Meredith Brown who both made big improvements during track which should lead to great contributions to the cross country team.  They will be joined by some talented incoming freshmen in Molly Deardorff, Ava Dickenson, and Madelyn Still.  Last season, the Lady Hawks did not make the Regional meet for the first time in many years.  This group of talented, hard working distance runners looks to start a new streak of Regional qualifications this Fall.
