2011 Hanson’s Cross Country Carnival Donning our official Mustang racing gear three k-6 runners represented the team in the third meet of the season. The Hanson’s Cross Country Carnival was held at Delia Park and the weather was cold and wet. All K-6 athletes were supposed to run a full 3K however the boys field of athletes took the wrong turn which resulted in a 1.3 mile course for them. Representing the Mustang K-6 runners was Ian Clark – 15:32 and 39th place out of over 80 runners. The girls race was a full 3K (1.86 miles) with equally as many runners. They included: Donae Adams – 19:50 and 21st place Sydney Colding – 20:24 and 24th place 2011 Huron River High School Cross Country Invitational The second cross country meet of the season was graced with a picture perfect day. It was the Huron River High School Cross Country Invitational and was held at Willow Metro Park on 9/17/2011. The Mustangs had two high school athletes compete and seven K-6 athletes. The Mustang Varsity Runners competed with other athletes from Division 2, 3, and 4 schools in a traditional 5K run. Their times and places in a field of over 100 runners were: Donovan Luttrell – 19:31 and 40th place Joshua Cummings – 21:06 and 62nd place The K-6 Mustang athletes competed in a 1.3 mile course against hundreds of other youth. They were not given places but the top 100 kids to cross the line received award ribbons.

The field was comprised of 21 high school teams and seven middle school teams. While the weather was not optimal (I.e. rain and lots of mud) the kids had a great time. Donae’ Adams was an award winner for the team, but each athlete ran a phenomenal time considering the weather conditions. Donae’ came in the top 25 for the overall girls middle school race in a time of 15:32 for the 1.5 mile course and is only 10 years old. Donovan Luttrell was the top placing high school athlete for the Mustangs in a time of 20:37 for the 3.1 mile course. Our youngest athlete, Anthony Hardy (6 yrs old) completed the 1.5 mile course in 20:13 beating out several middle school boys from other teams. Listed below are the remaining Mustang runners with their times and places. Some of the places were not available because the athlete forgot to turn in their placement cards to me.
