Lake Fenton — On Oct. 16 the Lady Martians completed the sweep of three Flint Metro League Jamborees this season at Lake Fenton.
“There is no secret to their success, they love each other, they respect each other, they work hard together and rarely miss practice,” said Head Coach Al Warden. “All 14 of them are needed and all 14 of them are ready to step into a race knowing they will be supported by their teammates. The parents, siblings, grandparents are supportive for the entire season, they prepare the home course for races, they provide chocolate milk following practice. And, the Middle School program feeds the High School program.”
The Lady Martians earned a perfect score of 15 points in the STARS division, a 1,2,3,4 and 5 finish. All seven of the Goodrich runners finished in the top 11 of both divisions.
