*masks were quickly removed and put back on so that we could take these group pictures. 




For the Tuesday Jamboree at Allendale we would like to invite you surround the team in a socially distanced prayer circle before our final Ok Blue meet. The season has had many ups and downs but we are so Thankful that we made it through, back in August we were unsure about the season and questioning how far we would even make it.

Bengal Invite

Well that was FUN !!! Friday was a great day out in GR. Students got out of school early to Run at the Bengal Invitational at Riverside Park in Grand Rapids.  The park was beautiful, the fall colors on full display. 

This was our 3rd race in 7 days so we were not super fresh and it was a little on the warmer side ... but it's Michigan and we are not going to complain about a nice warm fall day like we had. The team knew which teams/places they would need to beat to place well at this meet. So even though the times were slower, we did really well. The top 25 in each race went home with a neat finisher medal and teams that placed went home with a trophy.

Ok Blue Conference Jamboree #2 @ Allendale

 Greetings, 

I hope that you are having a good day so far. To be honest ..I did not snap any pictures at this event ... with the 3 1/2 minute staggered starts and sprawling course ... it was a lot to keep track of :) 

So here are the results :
