RETURNING

Tanja Ivandic - Tanja had a successful 2008 cross season leading the frogs in the Mountain West Conference with a 23rd place finish. She really excelled on the track in the spring turning in 4:37 (1500) and 17:56 (5000m). Look for Tanja to continue that success she found on the track to the cross country course in 09.

 

Kelly Dawson- As a Freshman Kelly was a top 5 performer. The former Keller athlete turned in a 22:08 at the South Region Race placing an impressive 35th overall and 4th overall freshman in the race. She continued her success on the track running 4:48 (1500) and 18:10 (5000m).

Lisa Baity- Lisa will be a SR this year. She consistently hit under 23:00 all season for the 6k.

Anber Carlisle -Amber will be another Sr for the frogs this year. She was a consistent top 7 runner for the team last year.

Allie Wyatt- Allie should add some good depth to the team. She has great experience and should compete for a top 5 spot this season.

FORECAST

Last year the team placed 8th at the Mountain West Conference and at the South Central Region. They add 2 quality freshman in Terry Tricia and Katie Dalton. Tricia has great prep creditials running 10:56/5:01 in High School. She also placed 8th in the 5A division of the Texas HS cross country championship in 2008. Katie Dalton is a 6-time state champion from Arkansas. Her Pr's include 5:13/11:08 in High School. Both Dalton and Terry have the potential to be immediate contributors and makes this team our #9 selection in the Texas.
