Congratulations to our September Athletes of the Month, Olaisa Moss and Joe Furlan. I was waiting on the new shirts to get done, so sorry for the delay. Olaisa has had an awesome start to the season. She has finished in the top 10 in every race so far but more impressive has been the mentorship roll she has provided to the freshman on the team. She goes on long runs with them and keeps their spirits up during hard practices and leads by example in every way. She is everything you want in a leader. Olaisa is also very involved in the Christian Fellowship group after school. Joe has been an amazing senior leader for the undefeated cross country team this season. He has won all 4 of his races and his served as a mentor to the younger runners on the team. He also serves as a volunteer firefighter for Columbia Township.

Tonight's volleyball match between Bloomingdale and Bangor at 5:30pm has been cancelled. Bloomingdale will advance to the district finals game tomorrow night (Thursday) at 5:30pm @ Bloomingdale vs the winner of Gobles and Holland Black River being played at 7pm tonight. I am working with GoFan (the site you purchased your tickets from) for refunds for the Bloomingdale vs Bangor game scheduled for tonight. If you want to attend the game tomorrow (code will go out tomorrow morning), or the second game tonight (go to this link-https://gofan.co/app/events/140672) you will have to purchase a new ticket.

The Cardinals cross country teams competed at the regional championship meet today. In the boys race Joe Furlan finished 3rd and Jaden Barnes was 13th and both of them earned a trip to the state championship meet next week. The boys team battled hard and left everything on the course, they finished 4th as a team. David Garcia was 21st and Joe Stocchiero was right behind in 22nd. Trace Wixom was 31st and Tyler Osterman ended the year with a PR and finished 44th. Hold your heads up high boys, it was a great season! The girls team came into the race ready for a fight and they were in one every single step of the way. When all runners had finished and the scores had been tallied it ended in....a tie for 1st place. BUT, the tie is broken by the team's #6 runner and today our #6 runner Olaisa Moss was better than Coloma's giving the girls team the regional championship! Their second in the last 3 years. Aimee Sustaita and Kallie Harrison finished 7th and 8th respectively and were regional medalists. Zee Dickerson was 25th, Abby Krall was 30th, Addison Miller was 33rd, Olaisa Moss 41st, and Andrea Paz was 50th. Great running girls and a huge congratulations on another regional championship!
