After nine years on top of the Seamount for the boys and six years at the top for the girls, the Lindbergh cross-country teams are hoping to carry that momentum through to this season as well.

According to Coach Jef Rettmann, his top returners this season on the boys side are Daniel Langer, Alex Sifuentes, Deven Maddy and Dupree Nugent. On the girls side, he said he is looking to returners Cindy Huynh, Christine Villanueva, Feven Fessehatzion and Lauren Wick to lead the way for the Eagles.

Last year, the girls team not only won the Seamount but also won the West Central District and placed fourth at the state meet. The boys finished second in the West Central District and sixth at state. The goal is to improve on that this season.

“We are hoping that both the boys and the girls teams can win the league again and place in the top four at state,” Rettmann said.

Lindbergh’s season gets underway Sept. 11 at the Class Meet Jamboree in Evergreen.
