2021 State Finish - 1st (2A)
2021 Region Finish - 1st (2A West)
2021 County Finish - 12th (Montgomery County)
Key Returners: Caleb Dastrup, Aaron Longbrake, William Beane
Key Losses: Daniel Ponciano
Outlook: The Falcons dominated 2A last year, winning the state meet by 63 points. They placed 5 in the top 19 on their way to defeating runner-up Liberty 39-102. They look to do much of the same this upcoming season as they bring back their top 5 runners and 9 of their top 10. Don't let the 12th palace finish at Moco Championships last year fool you, as they sat their Varsity team due to the quick turnaround when the meet was rescheduled. They will be trying to take on bigger Montgomery County schools this season and sweep all three championship meets.

2021 MIAA - 2nd
2021 Private School Championships - 1st
Key Returners: Cam Davis, Ryan Connelly
Key Losses: Charlie Dance, Adam Brocato
Outlook: The Cardinals bring back another strong team for the 2022 season. They will no doubt be looking towards the MIAA championship to try to improve on their second-place finish from last year. Cam Davis returns as one of the top runners in Maryland and will certainly be a low stick in every meet he runs. If the Cardinals can pack up a solid core behind him they will give the Dons a tough test for the MIAA title.
