This past Saturday, the Boys Cross Country took flight one final time at the MHSAA finals. Against 24 other teams and many top individuals around the state, the Eagles raced around the grounds of the Michigan international speedway. They flew into 20-plus mile per hour winds. By the end of the race, they were exhausted. When the score was tabulated, they finished in 12th place and as the number 1 team emerging from their regional race. However, unfortunate circumstances led to one of the boys to be disqualified. So, if you look up the results, our official place is 20th.

Leading the way was Jared Platt claiming his second cross country All-State position finishing in 22nd place.

Other competing Lakeland athletes were Pierce Grzymkowski, Ryan Ward, Gavin Johns, Matthew Verellen, Noah Tiernan, and Gabe Scott.
