Top Returners

Kaya Vrable

Not only did Kaya have a breakout year in terms of place, she also conquered courses in significantly less time. Whereas she stayed north of 20:00 as a freshman, her sophomore year ended with 19:xx marks in 6 of her final 7 races.

Faith Swenor

Her best efforts may come on the track (Regional Champion in the 800m, 8th at D3 State too), but she’s found a way to carry things over to the grass. Sub-20 for the first time ever last September and placed in the top-50 in her first MIS experience.

Paige Herron

Each of the past two years, has managed to crack 20:00 and perform her best down the stretch. This past year, her 19:40 at Shepherd gave her a 4th place finish at Regionals. That was her 3rd straight top-15, but best finish of the three years.

Rachael Walch

Three regional races, three top-15’s, three years of medals. Can she make it four? And if Caro puts four in the top-15 as they’re capable of, another Regional Championship might be on the way.

Alexa Long

In her two years of cross country, she’s competed at State twice for Caro. Moved up 27 seconds in tougher conditions to crack the top-100 in 2022.

Lexi Wegner

As a freshman, showed an ability to come back. After a few 23:00+ efforts at GTC, Thumb Area, and Regionals, found her way back in the 22’s at State. In much tougher conditions, mind you.

Addison Fisch

From her first race at Mike Jackson in 2021 to her D3 State Finals last fall, Addison lessened her time from 33+ minutes to sub-23.
