Top Returners

Valerie Beeck

Continually impressed by her range and ability to mow people down. At Track State, it seemed like she caught at least 5 teams in her anchor leg that led to a school record.

Addy Smith

Gained considerable strength in the offseason, shifting her 1600m best from 5:34 to 5:22. Extrapolate that to cross and you have a girl capable of getting down under 19:00.

Cianah Budnik-Ramos

9th grade year began in the 20-21 range, then ended with sub-20’s in two of her final three races. And let’s be honest, if MIS ran as fast as it used to, she’d have been well under it there too.

Abi Albright

Has come so far in such a small amount of time. 25:00 opener in the fall of ’21, already sub-20 as a sophomore. And if you take a peek at her track season, I think more improvement is in store.

Payton Hosley

Throughout her career, has put together 10+ sub-20 races and contributed at MIS to the Bucs last two top-15 finishes.

Gracey Barry

Gracey may not have run as quickly in 2022 as she did in 2021, but her contributions at the regional stage were much more meaningful, moving up from 60th to 36th.

Laurel Tolliver

Three consecutive years in the 20’s and just had her best 3200m season yet, hitting a new best of 12:18.

Lily Frendt

During both of her seasons, varsity for Grand Haven during their State Finals runs. Although her MIS performance last fall wasn’t as speedy as the previous one, she still raced into the 20’s as she did as a freshman.

Eleanore Mitchell

Another one of those junior girls who commenced their career in the 22-24 min. range but has ended the past two seasons in the mid-20 range.
