I’m sure you know his brother, Garrett, but William is slowly beginning to make a name for himself
The process kickstarted during his sophomore year, where after a solid 9th grade campaign, he was able to attain top-50 at State then peak hard at the end of track, running 2:08/4:42
He was able to break 17:00 for the first time in September, then come October, he was Mr. Consistent, in the 16:30 range or lower in every race
His season culminated in a race where he greatly outperformed expectations, finishing 24th at MIS (I had him projected to be 45th)
During this spring season, William was able to capitalize on the progress made in the previous seasons, especially in the mid-distance races
The 2:08 became a 2:00, the 4:42 became a 4:27, and he was able to qualify for State in both, setting himself up for a senior year where he’ll be able to handle faster speeds
I for one am happy that those blonde boys of Parchment have another year tearing through our courses

Had anyone heard of Jordyn before this past season? I certainly hadn’t.
She raced only twice in middle school, and although her times were good, they did not foretell the freshman success she had
Jordyn excels on the soccer field and joined the team last year as sort of an afterthought, a method of staying in shape during the offseason
Um yeah about that, she stayed in shape for sure
OK Green Conference Champion, freshman record at Zeeland West (beating out a Rachele Schulist if that rings a bell), All-State
I hope she sticks with our great sport, as she’s clearly got the talent to accomplish incredible feats
