13 girls are out for cross country at Knoxville this fall. About half of that team is made up of upperclassmen which is good for leadership this season, but Co-Coach Michael Splavec knows the younger runners are looking to get a varsity position to show what they can do early on. Charlie Vermeer, Anna McDonald, and Claire Fay have been named captains this season for the Panthers. Splavec says Norah Pearson, Jalen Nelson, and Olivia Maasdam are the younger runners that hope to push the upperclassmen for a varsity spot. Knoxville hosts an early bird invitational on August 26th at Pine Knolls Country Club to open the season.
