Picking up right where they left off in track and last year's XC season, Andrew Osgood and Sierra Durham ranked highly in the county's preseason list. Andrew showed that he has really gained the respect of the local coaches and boosters by grabbing the second spot on the list. His strong showing in both the 1600 and 3200m in track showed that the leg issues that haunted his frosh campaign are behind him. He will have to work hard to maintain his lofty ranking as there are a pack of young and talented county athletes right behind him.
In what is an incredibly talented girls field, Sierra Durham grabbed the fifth spot. She was ranked in the top five for almost the entire season last year, but many runners greatly improved their status over the track season.
Downey is well represented by these determined and hard working runners. Sierra finished 30th in last year's sub-sect meet and has her sights set on a top twenty section finish this year. Andrew just missed qualifying for last year's section championship, and I know he has ambitious goals for his junior season.
