EMU XC Celebration

The University of Michigan men's and women's cross country teams open their 2015 season at the Eastern Michigan University Celebration in Ypsilanti, Michigan at Eagle Crest Golf Course. Michigan's Mason Ferlic and Erin Finn were the overall winners. Ferlic won the 5000 meter race in 14:56.1 and Finn set an unofficial record winning in 16:54.9. The meet was a non-scoring event.


Michigan's men's team runs again on September 11 at the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational i State College, Pennsylvania and the women run again on September 19 at the Commodore Classic in Nashville, Tennessee.

A highlight of the day was when I tweeted that Erin Finn walked by me but I was too shy to say hello. Finn favored that tweet a short time later. When the women's teams were doing their final run outs prior to the race, Finn and I saw each other and waved. Technology is neat.
