--- Middle School Cross Country ---

he BCMS Cross Country team was in action this past Thursday in Manistee for the Chris Grabowski Memorial Invitational. 

On a rain soaked course with muddy turns and plenty of spots for a wipe out or two, these Huskies relied on their toughness and strength and powered through to another strong finish.  


Isaiah Graetz, recently named the MS Boys Northwest Conference Champion, took home his fourth straight #1 finish and sixth overall this season. 

 On the girls side, Lexie Ewing, also named the MS Northwest Conference Champion, won her second straight race - and second #1 finish of the week!  


Elizabeth Armstrong powered the rest of the team with a second place finish and the girls team took overall runner-up. 

Gwen Hoffman medaled at seventh, and Madeline Kohn and Avery Teeples rounded out the Top 5 Benzie girl runners. 

Audrey Torongo had a strong race and brave "Benzie Sprint" to finish.

 For the boys team, Matthew Vroman medaled at sixth, not letting a loose shoelace from the start slow him down! 

It was a valiant physical and mental effort by every runner.  

The team is primed for their last two races of the season, beginning next Wednesday at home starting at 3:30 and then October 28 in Cadillac for the MHSAA Regionals.  

Go Huskies!
