Plus 5 expected XC signees(Packard may be an 800 runner, at least initially) that leaves 3 spots for Coach T to use her judgement on the borderline returnees.

There are so many questions with this roster stuff. Does an athlete who signs have to be rostered? Will they take athletes who would traditionally redshirt or only compete in minor meets or are definitely going to miss a season due to injury off the roster and let them use the club for training and NIL for finances? Can non-roster athletes get NIL?
