near future. The Lions feature returners from three different varsity sports, including sophomore Trent Thorne. Thorne was Albright’stopfinisherinfiveraces last year, and is joined bytrack&field’sMuhammadHaras and junior swimmer Mitch Cain- who has helped Albright to consecutive MAC championships in the pool. Leading the rookies is Cedar Crest freshman Chad Bom-gardner, who could place highly at collegiate meets this fall.
