The Grass Lake Braves’ Cross Country team was comprised of three returning athletes from last year’s team and three athletes who were new to the sport of cross country. Over the course of the season, the student-athletes competed in seven races and had great success. Chris Avila placed fourth in the Lakes Region Athletic Conference at Park and eighth at the Class 1A Boys Sectional Meet, with a personal best time of 11:46, which is also a new school record! This qualified him for the IESA State Cross Country Meet! Chris is the first GLS student-athlete to qualify for State in Cross Country! Congratulations Chris!
