Outlook: Hirsberg was the state champion in the 800-meter run last year and ran a leg on the state champion 1,600 and 3,200 relay teams. Herndon also ran a leg on the 1,600 relay team and was a part of the runner-up 400 and 800 relay teams last year.

They’re two of three returning letter winners for the Mustangs.

“Ellen Hirsberg will lead the distance cadre,” Stephens said. “In the sprints, Libby Caldera will lead the 100-meter crew, while Kaitlyn Herndon will lead the long sprinters and add strength to the sprint relays.”
