MUNISING — None of the current Mid Peninsula High School girls are old enough to remember when their school last won a track regional.

The Mid Pen girls were celebrating a Division 3 championship Thursday, however, which is believed to be their first in 30 years.

Mid Pen scored 53 points on this sunny, but chilly and breezy day along the Lake Superior shoreline. Runner-up Munising had 47, followed by Rapid River 38.

The Rapid River boys captured their third straight title with 83 points. Munising edged Engadine 34-32 for the runner-up spot.

Freshman Daisy Englund had a hand in four firsts for the Mid Pen girls, winning the 800-meter run in two minutes, 34.84 seconds and helping the winning 400 (55.05), 800 (1:54.69) and 1600 relay (4:35.65).

Englund was in a tight race with Munising junior Madeleine Peramaki before pulling away in the last 200 meters.

“I tried to keep my head down when we were going into the wind (on the back stretch),” said Englund. “When we got through that I knew I had to kick it in. It was a little cold, but it was better than at the Rapid River Invitational (May 10). I felt the meet went pretty good.”

Peramaki won the 400 (1:06.18) and placed second in the 800 (2:41.62), 1600 (5:46.79) and 3200 (13:43).

The top four individual finishers and top two relay teams qualified for the U.P. Finals June 2 at Kingsford.

Most area D-3 teams, however, resume in Tuesday’s Skyline Central Conference meet at Stephenson.
