Saturday September 29, 2007 the LHS Cross Country Teams competed at the 43rd McQuaid Invitational, held near Rochester New York. Last year the McQuaid meet drew over 5000 runners from 215 schools in 5 states and Canada. At least that many teams were represented this year. This course was 3, opposed to the normal 3.1 miles, and was run primarily on trails that are mostly grass covered over a rolling terrain. Race day saw temperatures in the mid 60’s with some clouds.

Lakewood's Boys Varsity placed First overall out of 14 teams in the Boys Seeded Varsity AAA (Large Schools). The Boys JV team placed 17th with 27 teams competing.

The Girls Varsity team competed in the Unseeded Varsity AA-2 (medium and large schools) race and placed a strong 6th overall with 33 teams competing.

Saturday October 6, 2007 the LHS Cross Country teams competed at the Legends Cross Country meet held at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds. The course started in the infield of the horse racing track and continued up a slight incline into and through the horse stables. The course continued to loop around the fairgrounds twice and ended in front of the grandstands of the horse racing track. This course consisted mostly of grass or dirt covered trails and was flat.

It was a very hot morning with temperatures in the upper 80’s. At the same time as the Legends Meet was being contested, Medina was hosting cross country meets and canceled their late afternoon meets.

Despite the heat (and the absence of the team's #1 runner) the Varsity Team was able to earn a strong 5th place overall with 20 teams competing. Gus Dudek of Green finished first with a time of 16.06. Lakewood Senior Nick Meeson finished a strong second a mere 9 seconds behind Dudek. Meeson was followed by Varsity teammates Seniors Casey Meeson (15th), Tim Kelly (25th), Juniors Pat Joyce (49th), Matt Miller (57th), Jay Toole (65th), and Senior Mike Andreani (79th). Over 160 athletes competed in this race.

The Girls Varsity team placed 17th out of 20 teams.
