2017 Moapa Valley Girls Cross Country Capsule

MOAPA VALLEY

League: Class 3A Sunrise

Head coach: Heather Humes, sixth season

Returning letter winners: Four

Top athletes: Andrea Mogren (So.), Hannah Watson (Fr.), Zoe Zubia (Fr.), Alexa Canfield (Fr.)

Outlook: Few teams will be as youthful as the Pirates this season.

“We have a very young team this year made up of mostly first-year runners,” Humes said. “They have a lot of learning to do, but could prove to be a force to be reckoned with. Time will tell if they have the mental toughness to be great, but great is certainly a possibility.”
