Congratulations to the Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams on both winning the MHSAA Regional this past weekend! These are back to back regional titles for both teams! Congratulations!
Girls Cross Country!
At the Regional Meet on Saturday, the ladies started the race cautiously and got stuck in the back of the pack heading into a narrow wooded trail. Once out of the woods (after about 0.5 mile), they courageously clawed through the field (for the next 2.6 miles) to win their second Regional Title in a row.
Finishers were:
Ava Alicandro (2nd - medal)
Morgan Scally (11th - medal)
Alena Tiernan (15th - medal)
Genevieve Connolly (16th)
Sam Horton (17th)
Isabelle Verellen (23rd)
Maya Pletzer (65th)
Boys Cross Country
This Saturday, the boys traveled over to Royal Oak High School to compete in the regional championships. Controlling the race from the front the entire time, five eagles claimed All Region honors by placing in the top 15. This yielded a team score of 39 points with the closest competition being cross town rival Milford with a score of 54 points.
Scoring for Lakeland were...
Gavin Johns (4th)
Ayden McDonald (5th)
Matthew Verellen (7th)
Jacob Kosidlo (8th)
Michael Nivala (15th)
Pushing other teams' scores higher were our 6 and 7 runners.
