Freshman Grant Welsch and junior Zach Hicks rounded out the team’s lineup, finishing 25th and 26th.

Sophomores Maddie Davis and Morgan Hicks finished back to back in 3rd and 4th on Wednesday.

Seniors Maddy Killian and Ashlyn McDaniel placed 6th and 20th respectively. Freshman Reggan Gray wrapped up the Top 5, placing 26th. The girls team took home 2nd place.

On Saturday, a few of the program’s top runners took it easy to pace some of the program’s more inexperienced runners.

Juniors Frick, Malone, and Gray sat near the back of the packand helped freshman Grant Welsch race more efficiently, leading him to a medalist finish.

The girls were much more spread out than the boys, but managed to win the race.

The program runs at Indian Lake on Saturday and will begin the 2018 postseason at the CBC Championship.
