11-3 - MHSAA States at  MIS

Today was the day Aiden Woods was waiting for, for his entire Comstock XC career. A chance to leave it all out there at the State meet. As the race kicked off Aiden went all out, coming through the first mile quickly at 5:20. As he crossed the 2 mile marker at a good time he knew he had a pr coming. Approaching the curve of the racetrack, about 400 meters from the finish he pushed himself as hard as he could and he came away with exactly his goal for the race. He finished his high school career with a new PR of 17:59, 28 seconds faster than his previous! Amazing career from the senior himself Aiden Woods! 

10-25 - MHSAA Regionals at Portage West 

The Comstock XC team competed at Portage West Middle for its regional meet. It was a freezing cold morning for the girls as they set off for their race at 9:30am. All the girls raced well and I'm super proud of the two seniors Trinity Hagenbuch and Ereni Polhamus as they finished off their high school XC career. For the boys at 11am it warmed it quite a bit. All three senior boys had great races with Brody Woolsey tying his PR and Aiden Woods coming in with a 1 second PR. To top it all off, that 1 second PR proved to be enough as Aiden Woods qualified for the state meet! Once again super proud of all three senior boys for their efforts this season and we all look forward to cheering on Aiden Woods next Saturday at MIS. 

10-18 - Gobles Invitational 

Comstock XC ran at the Gobles Invite on a beautiful morning. The course proved to be a challenge for all the runners. Consistent rolling hills through the backwoods by Gobles High school made the course a tough one for all. Through the adversity the team still came away with some good times as we tune up next week in preparation for the last regular season meet, regionals at Portage West. 

10-16 - White Pigeon Invitational

It was a great day for the Comstock XC team on a cool Thursday afternoon in White Pigeon. The team came away with four new personal bests and a season best! Starting off Trinity Hagenbuch secured a new PR of 27:22 while Ereni Polhamus got a new season record of 26:46. On the boys side, all three boys that ran earned new personal bests! Starting off Aiden Woods ran a blistering 18:28. Following up Brody Woolsey ran a 20:44 and Teegan Hagenbuch secured a 21:28. Overall a fantastic meet for the Colts!

10-11 - Bloomingdale Invitational

The Colts attended the Bloomingdale Invitational on a brisk Saturday morning. The course layout is the most unique the kids ran on all year with them entering the woods from the start and not coming back out until 200 meters before the finish line. The whole team ran great with almost everyone getting super close to either a PR or season record. With two more meets to go before regionals, we have entered into the championship portion of the season!

10-8 - SW10 Jamboree #3

On the boys side, Aiden Woods cruised to another PR of 18:33! To top it all off the conference celebrated and honored who earned first team and second team all conference.

10-2 - Allegan Meet

9-27 - Bulldog Invitational

The Comstock cross country team competed at the Bulldog Invite on a warm day, but the heat didn’t stop them from putting together some great performances on this extremely flat course..

9-24 - SW10 Jamboree #2 at Comstock

For our seniors that ran, Trinity Hagenbuch, Ereni Polhamus, and Aiden Woods, it was their last time racing the home course at Comstock. Nerves were definitely there as they took the start line for the last time at home. All three of the seniors gave it everything and came away with some pretty good times! Very proud of everything these seniors have put into the team and themselves. 

9-20 - Bangor Invitational

The Comstock Colts attended the Bangor Invitational on Saturday which showcases a pretty unique course that weaves in and out of the woods alongside Bangor High School. The entire team ran well and today's meet was another great day that will help us progress as a team! 

9-17 - Parchment Classic

The Colts took a quick drive to the other side of time to race at the Parchment Classic. The heat was intense but the team proved resilient and ran some solid times. Aiden Woods broke through the 20 minute mark for the first time this season and hopes to never look back. Jayveonn Buchanan came out for his first ever XC race and came in at 26:16. Very impressive for his first race!

9-10 - SW10 Jamboree #1 Centreville

The Colts competed in the first SW10 Jamboree of the year at Centreville. It was a pretty straight forward course weaving through their athletic fields. The team ran pretty well and the girls team ended up coming in 5th which is good to be in the top half of all the SW10 teams!

9-24 - Hartford Teske Invitational

The Comstock Cross Country team competed at the Hartford Teske Meet held at the Van Buren Fairgrounds. The team handled the hilly course well, showing great effort throughout their races.

It was a great meet that highlighted the teams work and progress so far during the season. 

8-19 - Three Rivers Big Hill Invitational 

The Comstock Cross Country team competed at the Three Rivers Bill Hill Invite, facing one of the toughest courses of the season. With a massive hill right in the middle, the race was a struggle for everyone. Despite the challenging conditions, each Comstock runner gave their best effort and pushed through to finish strong. It was only the team’s second meet of the season, and they showed great grit and perseverance throughout the race.

8-15 - Jim Carey Early Bird

The Comstock varsity Cross Country Team opened up the season running in the Jim Carey Early Bird at Lawrence High School. The usual first race jitters and heat made the meet a difficult one for all the athletes. Despite that, the team raced well and used this very early meet to shake off those nerves and establish a good baseline to improve on as the season progresses!
