This morning, the Girls and Boys Cross Country teams decided that both teams winning Regionals last year was not enough, as the runners on both teams repeated the feat, again bringing home two Regional trophies today.
Competing in the MHSAA Region 7-1 event in Royal Oak, the Girls team rallied in the late stages of the race to pull past Novi and Milford to claim victory. The Boys team held off Milford and Detroit Catholic Central in taking first place. T
In the Girls race, senior Ava Alicandro placed 2nd overall to lead the Eagles. Morgan Scally finished 11th, and then the pack of Alena Tiernan, Genevieve Connolly, and Sam Horton crossed together in 15th-17th place, securing the win for Lakeland. Isabelle Verellen (23rd) and Maya Pletzer (65th) also ran for the Eagles.
Both teams will now compete in the MHSAA State Meet to be held next Saturday, November 2nd at M.I.S. Speedway. The Boys will race at 2:10pm and the Girls will race at 3:30pm.
