Thank you Coach Livingstone for the HS/MS XC recap below!!

Once again Mother Nature provided a beautiful day for a run at the Veterans for Veterans Park in Cadillac.

The HS boys "All Divisions" race was run to begin the day. "All Divisions" simply put is a massive race between the big and small schools, Divisions 1, 2, 3, and 4. This race had 217 runners from all across northern Michigan! No problem for our Sophomore Sensation, Liam Plainte. Liam posted a PB (personal best) time of 16.50, taking another medal home, as he now sets his sights on regionals, and then states at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. 🔥

On the boys MS side, phenom 8th grader Allen Gillit took 9th out of 143 runners with a PB of 11.30, while also setting a school record set by Liam Plainte, and grabbing a medal! 🔥

For the MS girls, rookie star 6th grader Sloane Gross took 53rd out of 143 other runners taking home yet another medal. Sloane took home a medal in every race this season. Amazing accomplishment for a 6th grader!🔥

Next up 👉 MS regionals Wednesday back in Cadillac and HS Saturday in Benzie! Survive and advance time!

Go Bobcats!

Saturday HS/MS XC went to a beautiful park in Mt Pleasant on another beautiful day to run vs 2+ dozen other schools, big and small. 🏃

Once again super sophomore, Liam Plainte continued his march to regionalswith a top 20 finish vs 90 other runners, earning yet another medal to add to his ever growing collection. Rising freshmen, Jackson Burtis continued his accent up the ladder with a stellar time, only 2 minutes off Liam and closing fast. 🔥

Freshman Emmy Hylton attained another personal best (PB) of 23.48 as she continues to get better every week. 🙌

For the MS boys 8th grade runners, Allen Gillit took yet another medal with an 8th place out of 50 runners and medaled. Fellow 8th grader, Ayden Brooks also earned a medal for the team! 🏃

On the girls MS side, super 6th grader Sloane Gross took 5th and medaled once again leading that MS team. 8th grader Faythe Sherwood also medaled to round out the earned hardware and day for the Bobcat program.

Next up, The Northern Michigan Meet of Champions on Saturday

Let's Go Bobcats!

The conference season finale provided some great results for the Bobcat runners.

We had our sites on a conference championship for the HS boys team, but fell a little short with our young team. Sophomore sensation, Liam Plainte took 4th in the race, 3rd overall with a 5K time of 17.07. While it's not what he wanted for himself, he earned First Team All Conference honors once again this season. With regionals and states on deck stay tuned for more on our Liam as the best is probably yet to come. 🔥 Jackson Burtis rounded out conference play in his impressive freshman year with a 19.32.

The MS boys raced next and current MS star and future HS star Allen Gillit took 2nd, narrowly missing out on winning the race. Allen got a Personal Best of 12.01, and was awarded an All Conference First Team! Both Ayden Brooks (14.31) and Bryce Boals (15.15) earned a Personal Best on the day.🙌

Next up was the HS girls team led by freshman Emmerson Hylton. Emmy, much like fellow freshman Jackson Burtis, had the incredibly tough learning curve adjusting to the HS level, as well as the much tougher competition to deal with. The extra mile they now have takes a different level of commitment to these young runners. They both took over 5 minutes off their times from the outset of the season to this meet and continually work hard and to get better, week after week. The best is yet to come for these two stellar freshmen. 👏

Lastly, the MS girls team was led by 6th grader phenom, Sloane Gross. Sloane took 4th in the race vs all other upper class athletes (7th and 8th) as usual, AND earned a First Team ALL Conference award! Well done for our young Sloane! 🫶

Congrats again to Liam, Allen and Sloane for making the podium Tuesday! We are all so proud of you!! 🐾💚

The Boosters send a THANK YOU to Coach Livingstone for the great recaps on races and photos throughout the season!
