Returning #31 in the country and only room to improve from here

Katherine Dokholyan could be the favorite to win the 3A title and lead her Tigers to another team title

This is more than Sarah LaTour's dominance this past track season, Annalise Furr and Gabriella Castro had strong track seasons and look to explode this 2017 XC season
4
One of the best 1-5 splits in the rankings and with four girls returning under 20:00 this team could be fun to watch

If they can close the gap from 3-5 this could be a dangerous squad come postseason time

Let me explain, because this is more than alumni bias. The Patriots are getting an incoming freshman by the name of Carmen Alder who ran 14:22 for 4k last year as an 8th grader! That converts to 18:12 for a 5k, which would be #7 for all girls runners in NC last season.
