Coming off back-to-back appearances at the state cross country meet, Windthorst junior Cameron Belcher is aiming once again to make a return trip to Round Rock.
As a freshman, Belcher took 41st at Old Setters Park with a time of 13:35.30 before posting a 57th-place finish last year with a time of 13:10.5. The reigning Region II-2A individual champion won last year’s regional event with a time of 12:30.83.
After medaling twice at the state track meet a year ago, Belcher should be full of confidence when she takes the field this fall.
With just one departure from last season’s team that finished second in district, the Windthorst Trojanettes and head coach Allison Bussey firmly belief this is their year to return to greatness.
“I know we’re all very excited about this season,” Bussey said. “We have very high expectations but at the same time we want to stay humble and not look too far ahead. We’re taking everything one game at a time. Starting with these preseason games and tournaments, we’re trying to find a rotation that works for us and get some chemistry and gel as a team.”
Windthorst senior Bree Kirk is embracing a new role for the Trojanettes in 2022. After the graduation of three-year starter Camryn Latham, Kirk is looking to fill the void left by the Arlington Baptist signee at libero.
While she has certainly spent plenty of time on the backrow over the previous three seasons, Kirk is making the transition to the specialized libero position.
