We were a very young team and look for good things in the future. Of the 10 athletes we took, 5 were freshmen, 2 were sophomores, one junior and 2 seniors. We will miss Hannah Bruggemann and Elizabeth Clark next year as the lone seniors making it to the state meet. Hannah is going on to run cross country and track at Drury University in Springfield and Elizabeth Clark plans on going on and playing softball at Fort Scott Community College.
