On Saturday Sept. 7, the cross country teams went to Charlevoix for the annual Mud Run. In the Mud Run, the teams had to jump over hay bales, run through mud pits, and also jump over a log in the course. With this being the first race of the year, the team had the thought of have fun and finish the race.
“The run was easier than I thought. Maybe it was because I was just having fun or I felt good, but for my first mud run it was fun and I ran well,” Sophomore Austin Brege Said.
