MHSAA XC State Finals Recap 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

This past Saturday, our Ithaca cross country teams wrapped up their season at the Michigan International Speedway for the MHSAA State Meet.

Makinna Fogleson represented Ithaca as our sole female qualifier, putting together a gritty performance and finishing 50th overall, backed by the full support of her teammates! 💛💙

On the boys’ side, the team ran an incredible race to finish 4th overall in the state! Leading the charge were All-Staters Jacob Mankey (16:06) and Landen Styka (16:13). Evan MacLaren (16:33) followed close behind and will return next year as our top returner.
Thad Whitmore capped off his stellar XC career with a huge 30-second PR, also clocking a 16:46. Christopher Shemes rounded out our top five, with Austin Barancik and Rylan Huyck adding solid efforts and valuable championship experience.

What a way to finish the season — proud of this group for their dedication, toughness, and heart every step of the way! 💪💛💙
