After the graduation offour seniors and the early departure of three other upperclassmen, coach James Snyder eyes a quick maturation for his current freshman class and his incoming Owls’ as the path to the men’s cross country team’s success next season.
“Our job as coaches are to prepare them to compete at a high level and have as few deer out there as we can,” Snyder said. “Run like a deer, but don’t look like a deer in headlights.”
Departing are seniors Matt Kacyon and Alex Izewski, who finished eighth and 12th, respectively, at the November 2015 American Athletic Conference cross country championships.
