Waukon boys cross country will feature seven returning letterwinners for 2014


Left to right - Front row: Austin Day, Isaac Fink, Will Keenan, Tyler O’Neill, Hunter Jensen, Noah Liddiard. Back row: Mason Doyle, Brock Berns, T.J. Treptau, Gunnar Grangaard, Carter Fuhrman, Tanner Manning, Kameron Klinge.

The 2014 Waukon boys cross country campaign is not likely to have a much different look to it at the beginning of this season than it did at the very end of last season. That prospect stems from the fact that all seven of the Indians’ competitors in last fall’s season-ending Class 2A State Qualifying Meet return with varsity letterwinning experience for the Indians this season.

Waukon girls cross country team returns six letterwinners for first-year coach Brett Egan


Left to right - Front row: Alex Marti, Leah Riese, Dani Stock, Grace Blocker. Back row: Katelynn Griffith, Melissa Hammel, Emily Hammel, Liz Waters, Gabby Marti, Laurel Keenan.

As if returning six varsity letterwinners, including five of last season’s top seven runners, would not be enough cause for optimism for the 2014 Waukon girls cross country team, add in the fact that they get to draw from the experience of one of Waukon High School’s most decorated distance runners to further that optimism.
Brett Egan, a 2009 Waukon High School graduate and school record holder for Waukon boys cross country’s 5K distance, as well as Waukon boys track and field’s 3200 meter and 1600 meter distances, will begin his first season at the helm of the Waukon girls cross country program. Egan’s distance running experience includes being a 1600 meter high school state champion and 3200 meter state runner-up in his senior season, as well as being a Northeast Iowa Conference and District Champion in cross country before placing fourth at the State Meet his senior season.
