Sunny Skies and Hard Hills at Key West XCursion 1 Ryan Raposo Sep 14, 2014

Scouting Report: John A. Ferguson HS Girls Ryan Raposo Aug 09, 2013

The John A. Ferguson girls are looking good as we head into the 2013 cross country season. After a stellar state runner-up performance in 2011, we fell off a little in 2012 as the girls team struggled in trying to find leadership and mature as a group, but after much success this past track & field season, I can say the girls are very motivated for cross country this year. I attribute much of the bright outlook to the fact that many of my top ten are heading into their senior year and their summer attendance has been very on point compared to last year. They've even got me more motivated for this season!
