The Kickin' Mules qualified the team to the State Finals for the second consecutive year with a second place finish at the Brownstown Woodhaven Regional. Saline (Michigan #4) won the regional for the second year in a row. The weather was cold and windy with an occasional spit of rain in beautiful Lake Erie Metropark which sits right on the lake. The 8th ranked Mules were competing without senior Derek Hibbs who was out with an illness. Derek plans to be back in the lineup next week at MIS. Bedford was led by junior Nick Kaiser who finished in 3rd place overall. Tommy Valade finished in 6th place this year after winning the individual championship last year. Sophomore Adam Horace had a huge race finishing third for the Mules and 11th place overall. Troy Tidwell, Chad Machinski, and Jacob Nye finished 18th, 19th, and 20th in the race. Jacob's 20th place finish (6th runner for Bedford) was better than Monroe's 6th runner (24th place) which broke the tie for second place in Bedford's favor. Corey Schoendorf, also struggling with illness, did not have his best day  and was the 7th runner for Bedford.

By finishing in the top three teams, Bedford moves on to the State Finals next week at MIS. The SEC Red Division had another strong day. Saline, Bedford, and Monroe qualified at the Brownstone Woodhaven Regional and AA Pioneer (1st) and AA Huron (3rd) qualified at the Ann Arbor Huron Regional.
