Scouting DuPage County girls cross
country teams
Posted Friday, September
01, 2006
Hinsdale Central
Coach: Mark McCabe.
Last season: First in West Suburban Silver,
third at regionals, fourth at sectionals,
fourth at state.
Top runners: Lauren Zumbach, so; Roey Hines,
so; Emily Cleary, jr; Gina Kapusta, sr;
Heather Stevens, so; Jenny Laser, sr.
Home course: Katherine Legge Memorial Park.
Outlook: The Red Devils had a season for the
ages last year. Hinsdale Central went
undefeated in conference, won the WSS
championship, had the school’s highest finish
at state — and did it behind two freshmen.
Zumbach and Hines both earned all-state last
year and will be one of the most dominant pair
of underclass runners on any team. “Lauren and
Roey have taken the next step in their
training this summer and are fit and excited
for the season to begin,” McCabe said. The
unknown quantity that could determine if the
Red Devils compete for a trophy in November is
Cleary. The talented junior was all-state as a
freshman but struggled with injuries all of
last season. If she is healthy, that trio
could be top-20 runners at state and put the
Red Devils in a position to dethrone
Naperville North.
