2016 The Meadows Girls Cross Country Capsule

League: Class 2A Southern League

Head coach: Charles Bernick, 14th season

Returning letter winners: Five

Top athletes: Ellen Hirsberg (Jr.), Ashley Lee (Jr.), Emily Herndon (So.)

Outlook: Hirsberg won the Southern Region meet in a runaway last season and finished fifth at the state meet.

Lee (second) and Herndon (fourth) also finished in the top four as the Mustangs easily won the team title.

“The Meadows returns its top four runners from the regional championship team,” Bernick said. “The squad benefits from the experience of juniors Ellen Hirsberg and Ashley Lee, who will be leading the Mustangs.”
