The varsity cross country team consisting of boys and girls from both Mount Vernon and Lisbon schools is about to begin their 2023-24 season.
Last season, the girls team won the WaMaC conference meet, while the boys placed second.
Head coach Kory Swart and assistant coaches Ean Caskey and Kim Fall will return to coach the 2023-24 campaign, but the team will be without 10 seniors who graduated last year — Claire Gaffney, Lourdes Mason, Gabi Moehlman, Laila Moellering, Laura Swart, Zach Fall, Micah Knapp, Junior Krob, Ryne Moeller, and Ben Nydegger.
The team’s first meet will be its first and only home meet, Tuesday, Aug. 22, as they host the Mount Vernon Invite. Other meets include Ames invite Aug. 28, Seminole Valley invite Sept. 7, Solon invite Sept. 18, Williamsburg invite Sept. 26, West Delaware invite Oct. 3 and the WaMaC meet at Independence Oct. 12.
