JACKSON, MI (WTVB) – Bronson, Quincy, and Union City’s cross country teams ran at an MHSAA Division 3 Regional hosted by Napoleon at Jackson’s Ella Sharp Park Friday afternoon, and it wound up being a great day for the Viking girls squad, who qualified for next weekend’s MHSAA Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals at Michigan International Speedway.
Jackson Lumen Christi won the girls race with 48 points, while Olivet was second with 58 points, and Bronson was third with 87 points.
