James Gedris continued his stellar cross country season by winning this past weekend's Marauder Invitational, which was hosted by Carson City-Crystal.
Gedris put a ten second gap on the race's runner-up and cruised in for the victory with his 15:42.00 effort. The Grosse Ile athlete has broken 16 minutes on five occasions in 2018 and he's currently ranked third in the state (overall) and twenty-seventh nation-wide among 2019 grads from his 15:11.22 clocking at last month's Monroe Jefferson Invitational.
Gedris has been a regular at the MHSAA State Championship over the last three years and he's acquired big meet experience by lining-up at the Nike Cross Nationals Midwest Regional and the Foot Locker Midwest Regional during his high school career.
Michael Hancock / Dearborn Divine Child
Following Gedris in the standings at the Marauder Invite was Dearborn Divine Child's Michael Hancock. The junior posted a time of 15:52.20. Hancock has finished in the top 5 in all seven of his races this season. He's currently ranked fifteenth in Michigan due to his 15:33.30 result at the MSU Spartan Invitational on September 14th.
