Runningco.com says: The six and seven spots for Eustace are still up for grabs, but coach Chris Threston’s team does enter the season with an experienced top five in junior Colleen Neely, senior Grace Koehler, senior Rebecca O’Malley, senior Erica McCabe and sophomore Kelly Malloy. Even with its top five from last fall back, it appears Eustace will have to settle for second place in the Olympic National, behind Paul VI. At No. 15 in Runningco.com’s Preseason Top 20, this is a team that could move up over the course of the season. For that to happen, though, Eustace’s five-girl spread will have to improve. |
