What Kellogg Community College’s men’s and women’s cross country teams lacked in numbers at the Kirtland Firebird Invitational Friday they made up for in individual grit, with sophomores Kyle Strong and Morgan Walton each placing first in their men’s and women’s races, respectively.
The men’s team ran just three runners, placing fourth out of four teams at the meet, which was held at Hanson Hills Recreation Area in Grayling; the women’s team ran just two, placing third out of three teams.
