GREEN VALLEY

Head coach: Blaine Thompson, 10th season

Returning lettermen: Eight

Top athletes: Michael Patrino (Sr.), Tyler Fyock (Sr.), Jesse Rodgers (Sr.), Carlton Herbert (Sr.), Nick Rudolph (Sr.), Ben Stock (So.), Ryan Tingle (So.), Tyler Zurcher (So.)

Outlook: The Gators lost three quality runners in Doug Harris, Christian Fortner and Alex Bylina, but bring back three others who finished in the top 21 in last year’s Class 4A Sunrise Region meet.

Patrino finished, seventh, Fyock 20th and Stock 21st in the region meet and will be expected to lead a talented group.

“Our expectations are to win the Northeast League, qualify for state and compete for the Sunrise Region title,” Thompson said.
