Lake Leelanau St. Mary boys 4x800-relay team came into Saturday’s regional race at East Jordan without a warmup due to a mixup.

“They came in cold. No warmups and that’s the way they like it apparently,” St. Mary coach Nick Papes said.

The Eagles ended up qualifying for the state championship meet with a second-place finish, which marks the first time in St. Mary history that athletes will be heading to the championships. The milestone comes in the school’s first year as a school sport with solely Eagle players to put the cherry on top.
