Arguably the most high-profile regular-season events in cross country and girls swimming & diving took place this weekend, with the forecasts looking good for MHSAA championship contenders who were highly ranked coming in.
Each weekday during the school year, we’ll gather and post media links covering the most significant and intriguing high school events from all over the state.

The annual Michigan Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association Meet also draws many of the state’s top competitors each fall.
