Top Returners

Mary Richmond

Such a low stick that the Eagles truly only need to score four, Mary’s 1st place is almost always guaranteed. She won 14 of the 17 races in which she donned a Frankenmuth jersey last fall.

Natalie Foltz

Closed the year with sub-20’s in eight of her final ten races, including a 2nd place finish in Saginaw County.

Elise Barden

Elise’s spring season is a major reason the Eagles are ranked this highly. She took the momentum and confidence boost from a sub-20 close and turned that into a 5:33/12:04 spring.

Gabby Cleveland

As with Elise, was able to take tremendous growth during the fall and spin it into an excellent track season. Gabby closed with sub-20’s at Shepherd, both at Region 15 and MITCA, then ripped a 2:29 800m at Davison this spring.

Clare Conzelmann

Finally at Region 15, after 10+ races, Clare was able to snatch a personal best. Her 21:16 and 32nd place finish were 12spots better than in 2021.

Evie Culver

Evie’s 2021 regional race was a 24 min. slog through the mud. One year later, more than 3 whole minutes faster, contributing to Frankenmuth’s advancement. I know the conditions changed a bit, but that’s a monstrous jump.

Kaitlyn Miller

Although she wasn’t quite as quick as her sophomore self, Kaitlyn was afforded the opportunity to compete at MIS for the first time since her freshman year. During track, she set personal bests in the 800m and 3200m.

Potential Newcomers

Lucy Conzelmann

Essentially the Mary Richmond of the middle school level, winning the Lutheran State Meet and running mid-12’s for a majority of the season.
