Six runners comprise the youthful Ada cross country roster this fall.
Sixth-year head coach Josh Klein has four boys and two girls out for the squad this season.
"We are going to try and have fun with the team this year and work to get our times down," said Klein. "We have a really young team, and Riley (Ferguson) is our most experienced runner."
Ada lost several key runners from last season to graduation and non-returnees, but three lettermen came back.
Host Waynesfield-Goshen pulled away from scrappy Ada with a big second half to win their non-league football season opener 42-12 Friday night at Tiger Field.
The deeper Tigers separated from a 14-6 halftime lead with 28 unanswered second half points to win, but it was not as lopsided as the final score indicates.
"I don't think the final scoreboard reflects how the game was played," said W-G head coach Shane Wireman. "It was a very hard-fought game. Ada is very physical up front, and has a couple of bruisers at running back."
