Hosted by Mt. Pleasant.

Participants included Clare, Harrison, Saginaw Heritage, Mt. Pleasant, Bellaire, and Onekama.

It was sunny and 30 degrees and rock hard ice on the course. We would have been better off using ice skates. We just haven't experienced these type of conditions this year, but it was better than slush.

In the girls races, Madeleine Smeltzer, pulled off two medals.
