SPARTA -- Becca Addison admits she isn't one to have a list of goals.

The Grand Haven senior cross country runner just likes to go out and run hard and see what happens.

But heading into Saturday's Division 1 regional at Sparta High School, Addison did have a goal that she wanted to accomplish.

Addison was going for her fourth straight regional championship, and reached that goal by winning the race during a cool and rainy morning on a wet course with a time of 19 minutes, 5.67 seconds.

"I don't have a list of goals, I just run one meet at a time, but I really did want to win this fourth regional," Addison said.

East Kentwood won the girls regional title with a score of 48 points, five points better than O-K Red Conference rival Rockford. Grand Haven came in third place with a score of 63 points.
