Coach’s comment on upcoming season: “Shawano will have some young but talented runners on the boys team that should give some competition to the top teams in the conference,” said Steve Stomberg. “A few other team members will be competing for the varsity spot to round out the team. West De Pere and Seymour will continue to have strong teams and will be the teams to go after.

“Girls team will have three returning solid runners that were part of the Bay Conference title last year. We will be looking for the fifth and sixth runners to step up and provide that solid team to compete once again for the top spot. Xavier, Seymour and West De Pere will have strong teams based on what should be returning.”
