Runningco.com says: Coach Mark Drummond has this program moving in the right direction. In 2006, West Deptford went 6-3 in dual meets and finished seventh at South Jersey Group 3 sectionals. Expect the Eagles to be even better this fall as they return four from last year’s top seven. With the team dropping down to South Jersey Group 2, also look for them to make a run at qualifying for the Group 2 state meet. South Jersey Group 2 will look a little different this year as Haddon Heights and Haddon Township will both be in Group 1. And after Haddonfield and Bridgeton, the rest of South Jersey Group 2 looks to be pretty wide open. With seniors Carl Lysaght and Tom Austin serving as the team’s top two runners, a state meet birth is well within reach for the Eagles.
