TEMPERANCE - In their first SEC Jamboree of the season, the Saline girls varsity cross country team wasn't at its best, nor did it struggle. In the end, the Hornets came away with a second-place finish that seemed pretty tough to avoid at Indian Creek Tuesday.
Saline finished second to Pioneer with 74 points - 50 more than Pioneer. The Hornets were also 47 points ahead of third-place Dexter.
Saline coach Derek Stern thinks the Hornets can defeat Pioneer, a state powerhouse led by Jamboree champion Rachel Forsyth (16:44), who smashed her career-best time in Tuesday's race. But, Stern said, Saline needs to run a great race. The Hornets ran well Tuesday - but they've got some work to do.
"We came in off a strong Bath performance and I thought today was pretty good," Stern said. "Even if we had been at our best, it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome too much."
Senior Laney Alig took second place, finishing the race in 18:42.6 - the second-best time of her career.
Junior Corynn Gady was ninth in 19:21.
Stern said Grace Oberski (19th, 19:59.7) and Nancy Gage (21st, 20:00.8) "stepped up."
Freshman Sophie Roth (25th, 20:10.4) completed the scoring for the Hornets.
Sophomore Lillian Schlack (26th, 20:16.7) and Mackenzie Sellenraad (28th, 20:25) completed the top 7 for the Hornets.
Abby Roth (35th), Grace Roth (38th) and Bailey Burt (49th) also ran for the varsity Hornets.
That depth on varsity and in the reserve race is something that Stern will count on as the season goes on.
"We talk about the entire team. We can only run seven at the state meet and seven at the regional, but this entire team pushes everybody forward. I think this team has the potential to be, definitely top 10, possibly top five at the state meet," Stern said. "We have a lot of talent. We have a lot of depth. We are very spoiled with the number of high-quality athletes we have here."
Junior Madison Rogan took second in the reserve race in 21:22.8.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
