Top Returners

Henry Dixon

For comparison’s sake, one could look to:

Place – moved from 23^rd at Regionals to 7^th
Races Run – on the varsity State squad as a sophomore after sitting out State as a freshman
Time – from 17:39 to 16:21 at the MITCA meet

Brendan Hoving

Stupendous growth not only in cross but in track too. Brendan went from 4:49 to 4:24 in the 1600m and 10:21 to 9:39 in the 3200m, qualifying for State in the latter.

Liam Hinman

Word on the street is that he may be THEEEE Division 2 sleeper. After summoning a 1:55 split at State, he’s been leading the team over the summer, setting camp records, knocking down marks from some illustrious names.

Cooper Jacobsen

Showed promise in the spring of ’22, pulling off a 2:07 in the 800m as a sophomore. Extended that up to all distance events, grinding his way to 4:39 and 10:05 this spring.

Tate Miller

A quick learner to the cross scene. Opened his career with a mid-19 effort at Under the Lights, then ripped off seven consecutive 17-min. efforts.

Tyler Endres

Didn’t get to run many four-lappers during track, though I think his 4:49 to close (and win the OK Gold JV race) may show something for cross. Past that 4:49, he was able to compete in a few 800m’s as well, dropping down to 2:03, ranking 20^th in Division 2 amongst 9^th and 10^th graders.

Potential Newcomers

Hayden Deckrow

Sub-12 in five of his six 8^th grade races, including top-10’s at Zone 6 and in the WMMSC.
