Historical Notes: We've been running the State Meet at MIS since 1996. In 1996 and 1997 we sent individual runners. In 1998 the team placed 9th overall and in 1999 the team rocketed to 3rd place! Our best finish in the large school division was in 2007, when Saline finished 2nd. For a detailed history of Saline XC at the state meet, click here.

The Course...
The course is FAST and FLAT. There is one minor hill in the 2nd mile, it is long and steady. This is a PR course IF the weather is right. There isn't very good drainage and rain will make for a ton of mud and slow times. There really aren't any great vantage points to watch the race from. It's hard to see much other than the start and finish.
