Dear Marc, Thanks for covering the CHSAA track and field league championship event. We were disappointed that Mike Schieck wasn't mentioned for winning the open 800 for Chaminade. He has been having a great season. They also won the 4 X mile at the St Anthonys invitational meet as well as in the Nationals.
