The Lakeland College Cross Country team finished the season today, competing at the Lake Michigan Conference Tournament hosted by MSOE at Dretzka Park in Milwaukee. The Muskies fielded a complete team on the Women's side for the first time since 1998 and had one runner on the Men's side, Matt Forss. The Muskie women would go on to capture 4th at the event, while Matt Forss received LMC honorable mention.
The Muskies women ran a 6K race instead of their usual 5K for this event. The Muskies would run strong and come up with a 4th place team finish. Lakeland’s Penny Arentsen finished with a time of 28:46.2, good enough for 19th place. Kristen Beyer kept pace with Arentsen and finished in the 20th spot with a time of 28:47.7. Angie Guell finished in 27th place with at time of 30:01.7; Shelly Bruni finished with a time of 35:21.7, good enough for 37th, and Angela Krueger finished in 42nd with a time of 39:18.2.
On the men's side, Matt Forss was the only competitor, finishing with a time of 32:15.6, good for a 13th place finish. Matt was also awarded the Lake Michigan Conference Honorable Mention award for his efforts this year.
Coach Helgeson said "I'm thrilled with how this meet went. It was great to see those who worked so hard all year get rewarded. This is a group of runners who love to run. Penny and Kristen have some high school experience to draw from but injuries and other commitments held them back and the rest of the team is new to the sport in the last year or two. To have them run so well and achieve what they did was above and beyond my expectations. This was a great end to a great year and I can't wait to see what the future holds for Lakeland College Cross Country."
