Under sunny skies and in front of friends, families, and fans, the Lansing cross country teams celebrated their Senior Night on Wednesday, and then toed the line against Groton, Spencer Van Etten-Candor (SVEC), and Whitney Point for the inaugural races on their new home course located at the Lansing Center Trail.
The combined modified boys and girls ran first, with SVEC's Benjamin Dizer winning overall in a time of 10:10.7. A pack of Bobcats finished next including Teddy Brenner, Caden Michalec, and Sam Bell. While two more SVEC runners would make their way to fifth and seventh place, their team was incomplete and thus did not factor into team scoring. Lansing's Charlie Miller and Arjun Kodali rounded out scoring for the Bobcats, for a perfect score of 15 in front of Whitney Point's 47. Bethany Hicks of Groton was the modified girls winner in a time of 11:08.9 with her teammate, Sam Cargian, finishing in a close second place.
