Cross Country Mid Season Update!
Mayer has been slacking with the social media so this post is going to cover a ton!
Marion Steeplechase Invitational was a huge success- The Steeplechase course contained obstacles (logs, bales, tires, etc) and provided a variety of race lengths athletes could compete in. A special shout out to Lansing Waverly traveled up here a day early to help set up the hazards along the course, do some team building activities, and cook out.
The Evart Wildcat invitational was next-we couldn't have asked for a better day to run! In the heart of SpringHill Camp, Marion athletes ran almost every type of terrain-grassy straightaways, winding packed dirt forest trails, and a sandy beach. The rolling hills throughout make this a challenging but fun course to run every year. A huge congratulations to junior Donna Mills-Foster and 7th grader Weslee Schlitter for their top 25 placement medals! Also, shout out to Junior Parker Sosa-Kibby for running the first varsity race of his career.
Next, we were back in Marion again, hosting WMD Jamboree #2-not only was it our home WMD meet, but this is the first meet of the year where we have had a full boys varsity team! This race also saw quite a few season/personal records:
High school
Junior Donna Mills-Foster ran a season record 26:24
Bella Radtke ran a personal record 29:26
Sophomore Jaden Kiger ran a season record 22:30
Freshman ran a personal record 23:39
and Junior Parker Sosa-Kibby finished his first ever Cross Country race in 34:57
Middle School
Abigail Havercroft ran a personal record 21:36
Ana Latoski ran a personal record 18:36
FINALLY the Varsity team spent a long day up in Traverse City supporting the RAGNAR Road Race finish line-It was an incredible experience that we enjoy every year. Running can be a lifelong sport if you put in the effort. The best part, we got to cheer on a team from Marion as they crossed the finish line after two days and over 200 miles of running!
Our team continues to grow and practice adds the miles-we are looking forward to the second half of the season and the successes each athlete will experience.
Marion Cross Country would like to personally thank all the coaches, parents, supporters, and athletes who came out to run/cheer those giving their all around our course. There are so few high school sports where everyone, regardless of school, is cheering everyone-It truly is a great, supportive environment for all involved!

Homecoming week begins Monday!
