The MHS boys’ and girls’ cross country teams attended the Redfield Invitational on Thursday, September 3. Nick Batchelor won the boys’ varsity race for the second straight meet this season. “Nick put in some good mileage this summer,” said Milbank’s head coach, Eric Townsend. “His hard work and leadership will be key in helping the boys’ team succeed.”

Ashlyn Batchelor also won her second meet of the season. “Ashlyn has some natural ability for distance running, and I know she put a ton of miles in this summer,” said Townsend. “She is a front-runner our team has not had in a while. This will really help an already talented and deep girls’ team.”


“I felt this meet was very good and an improvement from our first meet,” Townsend added. “Both teams need to keep improving and word hard in practice to achieve the team and individual success we are shooting for.”
