Senior Joseph Fedoronko earned all-state honors and helped Saline to a 12th place finish at the MHSAA Division 1 cross country meet Friday at the Michigan International Speedway.
Fedoronko finished 29th in a time of 15:58.3. Fedoronko's career-best time came in his final high school race - besting his previous best time by 10 seconds.
As a team, Saline finished with 335 points. Romeo won the meet with 123 points. Saline's league rivals from Pioneer were fifth with 243 points.
Emmett Berryhill (59th, 16:23.67), James Harrison (118th, 16:46.37), Jason Whitton (133rd, 16:57.58) and Nathan Luther (149th, 17:02.51) finished in the scoring for Saline. Max Pfeiffer (164th, 17:09.88) and Andrew Victoria (201st, 17:32.4) also ran for the Hornets. Harrison also set a personal record.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 49 and low of 30 degrees. Mist for the morning, partly cloudy for the afternoon, clear overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
