Over the weekend, the cross country runners competed for the last time this season. Jackson Lam competed in the MITCA Meet of Champions. He ran for the Michigan Run Foundation, and achieved a new personal record of 15:57. Meanwhile, 19 of his teammates ran in Indiana at the Nike Midwest Cross-Regional. The course was longer than 5k, but the runners still did well. Aiden Unangst ran a personal record of 21:00, Jessica White was the talk of the race in her dinosaur costume and ran a time of 25:04, and all three seniors — Danny, Cash and Amelia — finished on a high note with a great race and trip with their teammates.
