 The Geico Classic served as Midland's opener for the 2011 season and two things stood in the way of Midland boys repeating as Team Champions. The first was teams from WV and surrounding states and the second was the "Brutal" weather conditions. Both were too much for Midland and they got "spanked" on their home course. However, Jacob Burcham went untouched and cruised to a 35 second victory over the next competitor. Jeremy Waugh & Eric Wooten ran very solid for Midland, but waiting on Midland's 4th-6th runners was not a typical Midland team. It took some time and other teams took advantage of it and Midland had to settle for 4th place overall.
