Returning atheletes: Boys: Seniors — Mohamed Barre (distance), Mohamed Awil (distance), Jordan Balsamo (distance), and Andrew Balsamo (distance), Nasir Abdurrahman (jumps, sprint).

Outlook: The boys’ championship team from outdoors graduated 20 seniors, with most coming from the sprints and field events. The Blue Devils will be looking to fill those voids to get a crack at their first indoor KVAC and state titles. Lewiston will be picking up a lot of points in short sprints and distance. The girls’ team is returning almost its entire squad, but the team stills has a young base. The girls’ team has returners in all events and is looking to pick up points across the board to move up from last year.
