Liberty North Girls
When you return the fifth and 11th place finisher, good things are bound to happen for your team. Sammy Laurenzo finished fifth as a sophomore last year. Stephanie Boan, a sophomore, finished 11th in XC and matched that placing during the 3200m this spring. With another year under their belts, watch for the duo to do even better this year.
The placement of Liberty North will be dependent on their 3-4-5 runners. Molly Hertz ran a season best of 20:27 last year at her district meet and followed that up with a 48th place finish at state. If their 4-5 runners can close to gap to the duo of Laurenzo and Boan, this team is capable of accomplishing great things this season.
Coach Chatlos Says...
"We’ve been looking forward to this season since November 7! The kids have put in a great summer of hard work. With the heat that we’ve had this year, we’ve had to adjust, but we’ve had great buy in from all of our kids, and no complaints. We’re blessed to not have graduated anyone from last year’s Varsity squad, and some of our Seniors are really finding their places as team leaders. We’re excited, but know that anything can happen in our sport. The main things are to remain healthy and make another step up from where we were last year."
"Our meet schedule should be pretty similar to last year with a few minor changes. We decided to go back to KC Metro and Kearney this year – both are excellent meets and are well run as well as providing great competition and great courses. We also decided to attend the Palatine Invitational instead of Rim Rock, and are looking forward to competing against some of the best in the Midwest."
"I think that our primary goals are to reach our potential as a team. That’s how we define success. We can only control our team – how we train, our hydration, our attitude, how we deal with injuries – not others. I think that if we are able to have a full team of girls reach their potential, we’ll be able to look back on the season with pride. "
