Looking Ahead: An always formidable Haverford squad will again look to chase down a Centennial Conference title, but must replace some of its top scorers from this season's Conference Championships. Peet, Morgan, and Herlihy graduate, along with All-Centennial selections Chris Goings and Ian Woodhouse. Junior Conor Madden impressed in the 10,000 meters at the conference meet, and will look to add depth at the top of a distance contingent that will be tested immediately in the fall during Cross Country season, with plenty of room to grow before the outdoor track campaign. Jamie Moreland figures to contend for a conference title in 2020 after missing the outdoor championships due to injury. Rising junior Hiroshi Kawakatsu also returns for his senior year after a second-team All-Centennial nod a season ago. In field events, Ethan Gadra, Andrew Lummus, and Silvan Sooksatan have all entered the top 10 lists in Haverford history in the jumps and pole vault and will return looking to make another impact on the conference level.
