Men's cross-country team opens season with Comet Open 5K invitational in Charlotte

Kellogg Community College's men's cross-country team opened the season Wednesday under clear skies with the Comet Open 5K invitational held at Broadway Acres Golf Course in Charlotte.

"Overall the team ran as expected for a first meet," KCC's Head Cross-Country Coach Erin Lane said. "Places were lower due to competing against some bigger schools like Hope and Adrian. I expect to see everyone's times continually drop over the season."

KCC's men's team only ran four runners, so no team scores were kept; individual results for the team are below.

Reece Ratliff (Battle Creek/Lakeview High School), 35th Place, 18:01
Hunter Finnila (Battle Creek/St. Philip Catholic Central High School), 44th Place, 18:45
Brayden Zambroni (Springfield/Gull Lake High School), 51st Place, 19:47
Colin McDowell (Marshall/Olivet High School), 55th Place, 20:23
