Outlook: The Patriots return 6 of their top 7 girls from last year including their top 3 (Victoria Ketzler, Maya Gottesman, Rebecca Vasconez) who all ran sub 20 for 3miles last fall. With an experienced group coming and a strong top 3, The Patriots will be in the mix at most meets they attend and will be one of the top teams in what will be a very competitive Montgomery County and 4A classification.

#7 Dulaney
2021 State Finish - 5th (4A)
2021 Region Finish - 1st (4A North)
2021 County Finish - 3rd (Baltimore County)
Key Returners: Cassie Weymouth, Jacqueline Sibila
Key Losses: Anna Albergo, Mairin Ludwig
Outlook: The Lions bring back a large core of runners who have run sub 22 for a 5k last fall and will look for a few of them to make that next jump. Cassie Weymouth and Jacqueline Sibila will be the returning leaders on the team and should break 20:00 this season which will provide them a strong 1-2 punch. The battle for the girls Baltimore County Crown will be intense this season as there are 3 teams in the top 7 to start the season!
