LAPEL — While the Lapel cross country teams may be small, they are young and with potential.
Both the boys and girls teams are made up of juniors and freshmen; experience and youth for Coach Darrell Richardson.
Braxton Burress and Cameron Smith advanced to the regional race last year, as well as Hannah Combs.
Freshman Sophie Goodwin will pull double duty and run with the Bulldogs when her soccer schedule allows.
Richardson is hoping more girls come out to run to make a complete five-girl roster in order to place as a team.
