Merrill (OnFocus) – Merrill’s Elizabeth Schmidt is a standout cross country and track performer for the Bluejays, and following her 1st place finish at sectionals, is headed to state with momentum.
Schmidt heads to The Ridges Golf Course on Saturday for state competition, and in her third trip to State, looks to wow Merrill fans.
“We have one athlete headed to state this year, Elizabeth Schmidt. This will be her 3rd time going to State. Liz trains in the off season and comes into the season prepared to better herself,” shared Merrill Cross Country Coach and assistant track coach Alyssa Swan.
