Thompsonville, MI — Friday the Scots traveled north to Crystal Mountain to start what is planned to be a new tradition for the team, the Caledonia Invitational. "The weather at home has just not cooperated, we have only been able to hold two conference races and I wanted more for my skiers so I looked into moving our final conference race to Crystal Mountian but there were scheduling conflicts with most of the teams in the SWMSC. At that point, I decided to book the race and invite a group of teams that we race against during the season. Plainwell TK was the only conference school that could make the date work and we were excited to introduce them to the Invitational experience and enjoy racing with Benzie Central, Onekama, Maple City Glenn Lake and Grand Rapids Christian---which is a pretty tough field of teams. GR Christian qualified both of its teams for the State Finals and there were a bunch of State Finals Individual qualifiers on the teams that attended the race. Our main goal was to make sure that everyone's JV or B Teams has one more chance to race and we were successful."
