“The girls ran great, winning the meet and all running great times for the first race of the season,” said Fruitport Coach Randy Johnson. “Our two freshmen stepped it up to bring our top five girls in the top 14 runners.

“Our boys also ran well. They placed behind a tough Sparta team and Division 1 Jenison. All the boys ran better times than they did the year before on the same course.”
