The Rundown

A head down worker, Alex is the literal definition of a senior captain. He’s excelled at the end of the year, both on the grass and on the track. Although he didn’t step on the stage as an individual at MIS, he did us one better, accepting the Division 2 XC crown along with his EGR teammates. The wait for individual glory had to wait a week, but his patience paid off in the form of a 15:51 at MITCA, #2 all-time at East Grand Rapids (behind Evan Bishop!). Come June, he left FHE feeling as if he left something on the track. One week later, he drove out of Davison with a fresh, new 9:17 personal best. Many on these lists have goals to accomplish that haven’t been achieved. Alex has contributed to the big one. But sometimes ascending to the peak of that mountain is immensely more satisfying. He’ll be looking to lead his Pioneers there once again.
