2015 OUTLOOK
Head Coach Bob Mantell, "Expectations are high for our team in 2015. We return six starters from last year's 24-7 team and four of our top five pitchers return. Added to the mix are three transfer students which could all make an immediate impact. Led by seniors Trey Robinson and Ben Chapin, this Treynor team is talented and hungry to get back to Principal Park. Junior Grant Mantell will be a key contributor, as will sophomore Brett Daley. Treynor Baseball has won the Western Iowa Conference for the past seven years in a row and we believe this could be among the best teams we have had. A run at the state championship is a very realistic possibility for this group."
