Junior co-captain Tessa Knott is the top returner on a young Coast Guard team.
Coast Guard will be a very young team this season as the Bears have a freshman class of 11 runners, some of whom are expected to make immediate contributions to an inexperienced team.
The Bears top returner is junior co-captain Tessa Knott, who missed last season’s New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship meet due to injury.
Coast Guard also returns four solid runners in seniors, co-captain Charlotte Delorey and Gwen English along with sophomores Colin Fall and Kathryn Gilligan.
The Bears placed seventh at the NEWMAC Championship last season after taking home the championship in 2006 with senior Sara Mcguigan leading the way with an 11th place finish to earn All-conference honors.
Head coach Leroy Falconi in his 26th season is counting on several freshman to make an impact this season.
The top newcomers this season are freshmen Kim Franklin and Kate Schumacher.
