It was a run through the clouds at the MHSAA Region 18 race at Milan High School with near-school record-breaking times on both the boys' and girls' sides and many personal records. The Chiefs had three All-Regional runners that placed among the top 15, qualifying for the State Finals next Saturday, November 5th at MIS. Congratulations Ryan Morris, Molly Johnston, and Avery Turk!
