<body><div>The best cross country runners in the state met up at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn on Saturday, Nov. 7. The Lowell boys, fresh off their second-place finish at the regional the week before, took part in the action, taking ninth in all of Division 1.“I know our guys wanted to place a little higher as a team, but I think each one ran as hard as they could,” boys head coach Brian Smith said. “I couldn’t be more proud of these guys and the effort they have put in since June to get to this point. Back-to-back top-10 finishes at the Division 1 level is a great achievement.“I’m definitely going to miss seeing these seniors, but incredibly grateful for how they modeled hard work and a team-first attitude for the rest of our guys. The underclassmen have seen what it takes to compete with the best in the state of Michigan and I’m excited for how high of a bar these seniors set.”Senior Marshall Huhn capped off his well-decorated career with a ninth place finish on a run of 15:07. Senior Colin Stawasz was 42nd on a time of 15:51 and fellow senior Cody Bromley added a run of 48th after crossing the line at 15:53. Sophomores Tyler Bromley and Avi Elabed were next for the Red Arrows, placing 125th and 188th on runs of 16:24 and 16:44. Another sophomore, Hudson Smith was 222nd with a 17:05 and senior Drew Swayze was 234th on a time of 17:17.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0GrvOg_1Gyr7T8y00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0GrvOg_1Gyr7T8y00" width="213" height="308" ><figcaption>Lowell senior Colin Stawasz sprints to the finish of the Division 1 Boys’ race Saturday, Nov. 7, during the MHSAA Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.

She finished 91st overall and had a time of 19:10.“Emma ran outstanding,” girls’ head coach Linsey Smith said. “She was so focused before the race and did a really good job moving up throughout the race. To be one of the top-100 runners in Division 1, especially as a sophomore, is amazing. She said before the year started that one of her main goals was to make it to the state meet and I’m so proud of her for all of the miles and hard work it took to get there. The sky is the limit for Emma the next two years.” <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1WH83C_1Gyr7T8y00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1WH83C_1Gyr7T8y00" width="213" height="276" ><figcaption>Lowells sophomore Emma Putnam (1783) closes in on the finish line ahead of Midland Dow junior Kate Macfarlane during the Division 1 Girls race Saturday, Nov. 7, at the MHSAA Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals inside Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.
