Coach: Ed Van Tassel (eighth year)

Last year’s results: Fifth in MVC, 15th in Class C

Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Joy Cognata (middle distance), Molly Kieltyka (distance), Micaela Hajduk (distance), Rachel Ingram (jumps); Sophomores — Julie McConnell (sprints), Kaitlin Souza (middle distance), Emma Conrad (middle distance), Jada Choate (middle distance).

Key loss: Mary Claire-Blanchard.

Promising newcomers: Sophomore — Alison Berube (sprints); Freshmen — Kat Hajduk (middle distance), Emily Molino (sprints), Allison Johnson (distance), Adlin Chaparin (throws, jumps).

Season overview: The Ramblers will build around Ingram, who won MVC tites in triple and long jump and finished second and fourth in those events at the state meet as a junior. Souza anchors a strong middle distance group. Winthrop doesn’t have overwhelming numbers, but they pack scoring potential at the season-ending meets.
