This was the fifth consecutive year that the boys have qualified for the state meet and the consecutive year for the girls. The boys finished seventh at the Division 2 State Meet and the girls finished 14th. There are 150 Division 2 schools in Michigan.  The meet took place Nov. 4 at Michigan International Speedway.
