"(We) ran a smart race," said head coach Mary Rinkus in an email to Hartland Patch. "Avery and Natalie did a great job up front. After the first four finishers, both teams were tied. So the race came down to our third, fourth and fifth runners who packed together nicely through the finish."

In the boys race, Hartland won 21-35 to defeat the usually state title-contending Pirates for the first time in head coach Matt Gutteridge's eight years leading the Eagles.
