Just got back a few minutes ago from the Division Four track finals and let me offer my congratulations to the Ubly girls' on winning their second straight State Title.It was something to witness, as the Lady Cats set three, that's right three finals records in the 3,200 relay (Kayla Kubacki, Cheklsey Kubacki, Jennifer White & Kylee Kubacki with a time of 9:28.88), Jade Kaufman in the 200 (25.44) and the 1,600 realy team of Kayla Kubacki, Lyndsay White, Andrea Hill & Kaufman (4:04.48).
The 3,200 relay time cut off 13 seconds from the the meet record, which they set last year (9:41.18) and around seven seconds from their time at Regionals.
Let's just add that efforts of the whole team where amazing, especially when you consider the heat. It was 80 degrees on the track at 9:30 a.m. and as the day progressed it was much hotter (you could see steam rising from the track).
Although it has been a twenty hour day so far(started at 5:15 a.m. and am still at it at 1:15 a.m.), it was well worth, and I would do it again if given the chance... not just for Ubly but any area team that was mnaking a post season run.
With that in mind congratulations to USA who swept the baseball/softball Districts atg Reese on Friday, while the Harbor Beach baseball team won in Port Hope.
Congratulations to all area teams in the post-season, those who are left (to keep playing )and those who left their mark today.

Congrats to Ubly on the back-to-back titles. Two new state records to go with it, too.
Congrats to all the athletes from the thumb area which includes, Sanilac, Huron and Tuscola Counties. With all the medals and honors brought home I would say the thumb was well represented.
Chris,
I've got a great pick from the Meet of Champs of Jade Kaufman and the Dubey girl from Lakers going neck-and-neck to the finish line in the 100 meters.
I should send it to you.
