Cat Tracks 5K would like to say thank you to everyone that helped with, sponsored, donated and participated in the sixth running of this event.

We congratulate Cameron Bredice of Bridgman and Kaila Stevens of Goshen, Ind., this year’s overall male and female champions.

This year, the event raised more than $2,800. To date, Cat Tracks has raised nearly $15,000 for athletics and facilities improvement at Brandywine High School. A portion of this year’s money donated to the Brandywine cross-country team based on its participation.

Remaining money will go toward a new press box for the football field.
