Top Returners

Liliana Lehnst

Her freshman and sophomore years had 14 performances in the 20’s, none under. Liliana’s junior year had more than half of her finishes under 20. Her 19:49 at Birch Run early on was an eye-opener, and it led to a special season that culminated in an All-State honor.

Izabelle LaLone

One of many in this next generation in the Blue & Yellow. Exhibited a ton of range on the track, a part of Ithaca’s All-State 4×4, but also flashed a 13:00 as an eight-lapper.

Myleigh Hephner

Not gonna lie, I’ve never heard of Myleigh before writing this. I should get my act together, as a freshman, she ran 2:28 in the 800m and healthily broke 6:00 for the 1600m.

Emma Dawe

Girl did it all during track, ranging from the low hurdles to the long sprints to the very long distance. Hard to pick a best event, maybe the 3200m was it. Her 13:17 ranked 15th amongst D3 freshmen.

Karisa Deacons

Sophomore year wasn’t quite as fast as her freshman debut, but Karisa did end up having her best finish in a TVC-8 meet, 6th in the final jamboree.

Hayden Whitmore

The crucial 4th/5th runner on a championship squad. A bad race from a girl in that position can lead to a significant point swing, but Hayden held firm in her spot, resulting in a TVC-8 crown for the Yellowjackets.

Laiyla Pray

Has played a valuable role on Ithaca’s team these past three years and finally got a big payoff, running in the 22’s for the first time ever at Apples 2 Apples.

Emmalee Shankel

Her fall season ended a bit early, but not before she nailed another time in the 22’s.

Potential Newcomers

Makinna Foglesong

MHSAA Zone 5 was one of the bigger meets of her 8th grade year. And one of the better finishes too, 4th of over 100 girls in the varsity race.
