Alcona Cross Country competed at the Regionals today in East Jordan. Cole Upper set a season record with an impressive time of 17:22.16, while Darren Boyat achieved a personal best of 18:00.3. Cole finished 14th, and Darren placed 18th out of 74 runners. Both boys put forth an incredible effort, making this a truly impressive and proud moment for us all. Excitingly, Cole will advance to the state competition on Saturday, November 2, at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI.
