Over 300 total runners across 24 schools gathered at Wimple Park in Tuscola for the 46th Annual Tuscola Invite last Saturday. Tolono (Unity) won the girls meet while Tuscola secured the win for the boys.

Illness plagued the Lady Redskin runners as only two runners were healthy enough to compete. Senior Allison Cullen and Freshman Julia Moody both finished in the top half of the 136 runners in the girls meet. Moody led the pair, finishing 33rd overall. Cullen also secured a medal on the day. The girls did not receive a team score since they were short runners.

The boys ran second against a total of 195 runners. Sophomore Johnathan Iacobazzi brought home a trophy with a 6th place overall finish and a time of 16:25. Finishing behind him was Easton England, Davis Diepholz, Landon Jesse, Luke Waelde, Aston Martin, and Carson Swinford. Read More

The Pirates couldn’t capitalize as a solid defensive stand from the Redskins forced a fumble, recovered by senior Hayden Moody. Read More
