ADA - A lone senior returns to pace the youthful Ada cross country team this fall.

Veteran Hunter Wells is back to run the grueling sport for fourth-year head coach Josh Klein, whose combined boys/girls roster boasts nine runners. There is only one female on the team.

"We are really young and inexperienced," admitted Klein. "But the most exciting part is working with a mostly young group that is new to cross country."

Ada lost eight runners from last season, mostly to graduation, including ace Miguel Jordan. Three lettermen return in 2019.
