Coaches: Kelsey Biliouris, Bill Biliouris, Randy Easter and Margaret Leclerc
Last year’s results: Ninth in MVC, ninth in Class B
Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Alwayne Uter (javelin, sprints), Adam Gettle (distance, hurdles), Max Moreau (hurdles, jumps); Juniors — Adam Wilcox (distance), Alex Greenleaf (distance), Sam Brenner (race walk); Sophomores — Cody Williams (sprints), Zack Black (sprints, throws), Trevor Judd (racewalk).
Key losses: Josh Wilcox, Tyson Newman, Caleb Berry, Nate Pratt-Holt.
Promising newcomers: Seniors — Holden Doiron, Coty White; Juniors — Casey Boulay, Sean Spear, Zach Nichols; Sophomores — Ben Nichols, Bradley Howes, James Herlihy, Ethan Dow; Freshmen — Lucas Alley, Patrick Bayrasy, Eli Krout, Nate Steele, Zach Whitney.
Season outlook: The 2013 Phoenix nearly exceeded their conference performance at the state meet, thanks to Class B champion Brenner in the race walk and runner-up Uter in javelin. Graduation and transfer took away some of Spruce Mountain’s strength in sprints and throws, but strong numbers should help.
