50 Tickets to Brooklyn: #17

This past spring, Alexandra took that next step and seriously showed us some range
You could see the traces of a breakout season early, when someone is running PB’s in cold, early season duals, you know they’re raring to hit exceptional times when the weather and competition warms
She did that exactly, hitting a 10:54 at New Balance, then 2:19 at Oakland County, 5:02 at D1 State
We saw a similar pattern last fall, an 18:57 at Jackson (not the greatest conditions ever), on par with her freshman season best
And then a month later, multiple 18:1x efforts and another All-State honor
All in all, a year where Alexandra continuously busted through barriers, and given that track season, it doesn’t look like she’s done growing in this sport

Braydon entered Freeland as one of “those” freshman, the ones that are pegged for success
Sometimes those are the most difficult, saddled with high expectations, unneeded pressure, and a chance that they grow loathing the sport
That definitely has not been the case, as we see Braydon explore new avenues, gain trophies in all sorts of events
Early in his career, these came on the grass, where he racked up a Saginaw County title, TVC Overall title, two Regional Championships, and two All-States
- Even more impressive, his 2020 season began late
Injury hindered his cross country season as a junior, although he admirably competed through much of the latter half of the season
But then in track, he found success in the mid-distance, breaking 4:20, grabbing an All-State in the 800m
We know from the past that Braydon has the 5k chops, now adding greater turnover to the mix?
- I’m ready and excited to find out where that leads
