The Men's team must continue on its path of continual improvement. Despite the loss of an outstanding class of graduates and a major defection to Jack Britt, a nice core of runners remains. What is important, is to replenish is the depth that has made the Tigers famous. An outstanding freshman class rising up from South View Middle and Hope Mills Middle includes three of the county's eight top milers and 800 runners on the middle school level. Combined with this, is an outstanding group of rising sophomores and juniors who are looking to replace the numbers the Tigers are used to.
Depth is only one goal.
Team chemistry is something that will have to work itself out. This year's senior class is small, but focused. Those things depend on the character of a re-tooled Men's Tiger team with its eyes set on destiny. The Lady Tigers seem poised to step up and realize their potential. For the first time in a long time, the Ladies have a balance of youth and experience.
