The Lakers junior's time of 17:41 was one second shy of Megan Goethals' record, which she set as a senior in 2009.
West Bloomfield High School junior phenom Erin Finn's historic season continued Saturday as she won the All Oakland County Championship meet at Kensington Metropark in Clinton Township.

Belill, 28, of Waterford, steps in to the head coaching position after working as an assistant under Averill for several years. The Clio native said he …
