Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Brittany Carrier (distances), Brooke Steele (race walk), Kenda Newman (throws); Junior — Allison Bernier (throws); Sophomores — Liesel Krout (middle distance), Caliegh Norris (middle distance).

Key losses: Kayla Meserve, Erin Gats, Rachel Calden, Kaylyn Walker, Shauna Gordon.

Season outlook: Steele’s strength in the race walk will anchor the Phoenix, which lost a majority of the points it scored in conference and state competition a year ago. Throws and middle distances could be strong events for Spruce Mountain, as well.
