Ferrell, Brandon Gilbert, Nicholas Lease, Logan McGill, Dragos Dima, Collin Foster, Chaney Barnes, Devin Ayscue, Will Boyles, Marcus - McKee, Noah Coleman, David Hoyle and Jordan Moore. “We lost two of our top seven runners from last year, with only Seth Ferrell, Logan McGill and Nick Lease returning,” Key said. “However, freshman Jordan Moore is leading the team in practice. We also look for some senior leadership from tennis standout Chaney Barnes. With the top seven being wide open, it will be interesting to see which freshmen rise to the oc- casion.” : Members of the women’s team are Caroline Baker, Sara Borov, Spencer Burton, Aneisy Cardo, Erica Carpenter, Katie Ellis, Anna- marie Fulbright, Katie Krieger, Sarah McComas, Cassie Morton, Radhika Patel, Molly Short, MacKenzie Smith and Baylor Stroup. “We have several returning ath- letes including All-Conference run- ners Aneisy Cardo and Annamarie Fulbright,” Key noted. “Freshman Cassie Morton will surprise a lot of people this season.
