Well... That was a FUN day a little bit LOOONG but fun !! We made it to MIS around 11:00 got the tent and vans all set up and in place for the day. It was a little bit chilly but not to bad. We were watching the weather .. really hoping we could get the races in before the rain was supposed to hit.
1:30 Girls D2 Race !!! It was exciting to watch and tiring MIS really makes you RUN around if you want to spectate and see the runners multiple times on the course. As team the Girls team came in 6th Place and we are so proud and excited for them.
2:50 Boys D2 was supposed to run but.... THUNDER and RAIN ahhh so we were delayed 30 minutes.
3:25 Boys D2 ok please NO more THUNDER lets get this race started. Jacob had a great race. It was a little bit rainy and muddy but he left it all out there.
6:45 Dinner Time at Outback Steakhouse !!! It was so funny to see how many of them ordered Steaks for dinner.. They Ran hard why not celebrate with a good meal.
8:40 Headed Home, but no rest !! We Rocked out the entire drive back to Holland thanks to DJ Lizzy. From what I heard the other Vans had similar parties going on.

Regional Champs
Well.... how to put into words such an exciting weekend !!! We loaded the bus at 8 AM and made our way south to Red Bud Motocross Park. It rained, snowed, and sleeted all the way there and continued pretty much all morning. It was COLD !!! We went from 80/90's to cold and rainy.. Only in Michigan, Right ? Ok.... well here is the EXCITING part !!! Girls WON Regional's (first time in 25 years) and we are super excited that Jacob Deboer qualified for the State meet as an individual placing 14th.
So Next weekend we are off to state taking the Girls team and Jacob. So what does State look like for us this year? Well if we keep running like we have been we are expected to do very well at the State meet which is really exciting for the Team and the School.
As Coaches we couldn't be more excited. We are so Proud of the Team and the hard work that they have put in this season. They are an AMAZING group of students and we are so blessed to be able to share this with them.
If you have any pictures that you would like to send me to include in the end of season Slide show just email them too mj.schrotenboer@gmail.com
