Congrats to @m_towne1 on signing with Grand Valley State to run track and cross country. #GoPatriots

Andrew Johnston was the men's top finisher, placing fifth in the collegiate field with a 5K time of 15:04!

Too early to start thinking about Indoor? 1st-18th in each event over the last 4 years (top 18 qualify for state)
