Skippers take 6th at Raider Invite   

2023 sc4 men's cross country team before their race at GRCC

The Skippers raced their way to school records and multiple personal records at the GRCC Raider XC Invite. This was the first conference meet of the season for both the men and the women. The women's field consisted of 13 scoring teams, with 10 being from MCCAA conference, while the men's field yielded 16 teams, with 13 being from the MCCAA Conference. The women placed 4th overall and 1st amongst the conference teams. The men placed 6th overall and 3rd amongst the conference teams. 

The men were led by Glen Davis, who placed 11th out of 158 runners with a time of 25:52.7, breaking SC4's school record by 45 seconds. "I feel really good about the race and gained a lot of confidence getting another 8k in, especially competing at our regional course with the Lansing boys. I'm excited about breaking the school record as well. I've manifested breaking a record since I started running and wasn't able to pull it off in high school, so it feels great to be able to get a record at the collegiate level," Davis stated after the race. Finishing second for the Skippers was Matt LaFreniere setting a personal record by 2:10 in a time of 27:38.7, ranking him 8th on the SC4 All Time list. Running 3rd was Mike Paoletti running 28:06.7 with Lance Kowalski not far behind as the team's 4th runner with a time of 28:39.0. Kowalski set a personal record by 1:15. Rounding out the top 5 was Logan Cooper, who debuted in the 8k distance, finishing in 28:41.2. Mason Wildie (30:15.2), Joe Edgemon (31:28.5) and Devin Dudley (34:01.0) completed the men's team. Wildie ran a season best by 12 seconds, Edgemon set a personal record by 2:25 and Dudley debuted in the 8k distance.
