The confidence was high for the Gering High School cross county teams late last week when they met with the media ahead of the start of fall practice.
On the girls side two time individual state champion, Madison Seiler, returns as she looks for a third straight crown, while the boys team is also expecting to have a big season.
Seiler along with head coach Rick Marez and boys team leader, Eli Marez, were the ones representing the program at Fall Sports Media Day.
The first cross country meet of the season for area teams will take place at the Scotts Bluff Country Club with middle school and high school divisions on Thursday, August 25th.
