New Canaan Girls Cross Country: Energetic, Enthusiastic and Ready to Run

By |

After an encouraging 12-6 season last year, head coach Art Brown is hoping to see even greater strides in the New Canaan girls cross country team in 2015. With 48 girls on the projected roster, Coach Brown, who is entering his sixth year with the program, feels like the mix of girls who make up that number are poised to come together and compete with the FCIAC elite. “We have a young team with only two seniors, right now,” Coach Brown told NewCanaanite.com. “We have quite a few girls who ran last year – a lot of sophomores and juniors. We were kind of a middle-of-the-pack team [last year]. But I have seen some improvement from the younger kids and I’m going into the season with quite a bit of optimism.”

The NewCanaanite.com Athlete of the Week is sponsored by Baskin-Robbins, Connecticut Sandwich Co., Joe’s Pizza and Mackenzie’s. Congratulations to Cali Brannan and Alex Hutchins for being named NewCanaanite.com Athletes of the Week. It’s quite rare that a freshman makes a significant impact on a high school varsity team. That being said–there are few freshmen like Cali Brannan. The newest Rams running sensation has led the Girls Cross Country team in all of its meets this season, including a fourth-place finish at Tuesday’s event in Greenwich in which 5 teams participated.
