🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Belding Cross Country is STATE BOUND! 🏁🖤🧡

What a day for our Black Knights at the Division Regional meet at Bath!

Our Belding boys finished 4th and our girls finished 6th out of 15 teams in a very competitive regional!

The boys had an outstanding day, actually tying for 3rd place! Unfortunately, the tiebreaker went the other way, and the top three teams advance to the state finals. So close!

But we’re not done yet! We are proud to announce that FOUR Black Knights qualified individually for the MHSAA State Finals next weekend at Michigan International Speedway!

👏 Krue Short
👏 Logan Ingraham
👏 Jaxson Scheid
👏 Halli VanDyken

Congratulations to all of our runners and coaches on an outstanding season and a great showing at regionals. Your hard work, determination, and commitment have paid off!

Let’s show these four some Black Knight pride as they get ready to represent Belding on the biggest stage next weekend!

Once a Knight, Always a Knight! 🖤🧡🏃‍♂️
