Hopkins Men’s Season Preview 2025

 

The Hopkins men have steadily been moving up the ranks over the past few seasons, and the Blue Jays look to climb even higher this season.  Last season, the men won their conference, finished runner-up in the region, and took fourteenth at nationals.  This year, they are a top five team according to the USTCCCA pre-season poll, and they have a victory to their name this season already in their opening meet at trials of miles.

On the outlook for the season Head Coach Bobby van Allen indicated, “We have lots of depth and we are looking for a strong season.  We are looking to develop the younger athletes and improve upon race tactics. Our goal is to be competitive for conference, regional titles and a top 10 national finish.”
