The Rundown
Where most of her Mustang teammates, boys and girls trend toward mid-distance stardom, Cassie takes to the other direction. I don’t mean that as a knock on the Northville program, more of a compliment in that they can put forth elite mid-distance squads in both genders, then churn out great grinders such as Cassie (or an Ethan Powell). Her ability to throw down elite marks and championship spots has been evident in all four of her seasons. Between the white lines, she’s been in the top-50 at MIS and top-10 in the KLAA for each of the past two years. She’s endured through two state qualifiers in the 3200m, then moved up from 15th as a freshman to 8th as a sophomore, the latter of which while battling injury. Those battles will serve her well as her endurance is put to the test through another season, Ella and her leading Northville towards another low finish.
