• This past spring, I was able to head over to announce or spectate at a few elite races and each time, there was a familiar face watching – Kilian
• That love for the sport, support for others, will serve him well when those opportunities arise for himself, and I bet those instances occur soon
• Why? Well just look at that cross season!
• His sub-16 at Holland Christian was the 2^nd fastest time among any freshman in the State, all divisions
• His 30^th place at D2 State, bested by only one other 9^th grader
• Race after race, meet after meet, other than State he placed in the top-10, mixing it up with the State’s best upperclassmen
• With an offseason and summer of growth, expect Kilian to continually be among the best in his grade and across the entire State

• The past three seasons, Allison has been on an absolute tear
• It’s not as if her freshman year in cross was subpar, any coach would be elated to have a girl run in the 20’s, place top-10 at conference
• It’s just that she’s been on a whole ‘nother level lately
• She’s placed high in big meets
  • All-State, Regional Champion in XC
  • Indoor track, top-10 in the 3200m
  • Outdoor track, All-State at both the 1600m and 3200m
• She’s laid down some times, our first sub-11 girl listed here, a 17:18(!) at Nike Nationals
• The fitness is there, the focus is there, Division 2 glory is there for the taking
