Pentwater's Bailey Case earned the highest finish among county runners, placing seventh in a time of 22:38.9. Lily Smith took 21st place for the Falcons in a time of 25:23.4, a season best, and Valerie Smith set a new career best with her time of 27:40.7, finishing 25th. Maggie Jorissen was 29th (28:24.2) to round out Falcon efforts.
In the boys' race, Walkerville's Ethan Schamber led the county, finishing 19th in a time of 19:27.8. Tyler Zimmer was 27th for Pentwater (20:36.4), and teammate Ben Roberson was 37th (22:20.4).

The middle school meet featured a Pentwater highlight, as Skyler Compton broke the nine-year-old school record at that level, running his two-mile race in 12:19.8. Owen McTiernan set the previous mark in 2017.
