Coach: Jamie Juntura (first year)

Last year’s results: 15th in KVAC Class B

Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Matt Thibodeau (long jump), Reilly Burgess (javelin), Jon Belanger (discus); Juniors — Harrison Knowlton (distances), Will Parkin (shot put, sprints).

Key losses: Billy Clarke, Brandon Morissette, Brent Buck.

Promising newcomers: Several freshmen are out for the team. No names available at press time.

Season outlook: Juntura has been an assistant for two years. He takes over a team that he believes is beginning to hit its stride. With so much preseason time spent indoors, the Hornets have focused on strength and conditioning work, and they hope it will pay dividends. Based on 2013 performances, all the returning athletes have the potential to score points at KVACs.
