Historical Notes: This is our third visit to the Hansons Invite. We ran in 2002 and then took a hiatus until 2005. It is a pretty big invite with a lot of schools from the north eastern suburbs (schools like Troy, Warren, Sterling Heights, and Utica Eisenhower.) The race is sponsored by Hanson's running club and is very well run.

-Know your goal beforehand, run to achieve it. Remember, we are only as strong as our PACK!
-This is a chance for us to make our name known to a lot of teams our on the east of the state that we may not see before the state meet. Let's make a good impression of Saline!
-We are midway through the season. You should be hitting all-time PR's at this race and setting goals for the end of the season...
