At the season opening Niles Invitational, the Trojans brought home the championship trophy along with 10 individual medals (including the overall winner, Mackenzie Hill for her first career XC victory).
At their second race of the season, they competed against a talented field at the South Haven Rustbuster Invitational. The Trojans were able to come away with a runner up finish and trophy behind state ranked Otsego. For the second time, Mackenzie Hill was the meet champion, and led the 5 PXC girls who finished in the medal hunt.
What a great start to the season, way to go Trojans!

Until next year SAILors, ahoy matey!

SOCCER ALUMNI GAME: PCS held their annual alumni soccer game last night. It was a great turnout with 26 alumni present to play against the PHS Varsity team. In the end, the Varsity team won, 2-0, but it was still a great time for all the Trojans to come together for this fun annual competition.
SAIL ADVENTURE DAY: The 4th and 5th grade SAIL students took to the Air (Zoo) on their adventure day this morning.
