Looking ahead: The Fords will look to return all seven runners who competed at the NCAA Championship during this past fall. Six of those runners will be entering their season seasons. Freshman Abigail Doroshow also competed at the NCAA Championship in her first season. Named to the Mideast Region All-Freshmen team, Doroshow will return to a team that appears primed to carry on the program's tradition of success at the national level. Up first however, the cross country Fords will join the rest of their teammates for the indoor and outdoor track & field seasons.
