Top Returners

Jasper Cane

Noting his track times on Thursday’s post brought all sorts of haters out of the woodwork. But I challenge anyone to begin racing on May 13^th and then nail 2:02s and 4:32s.

Andrew Wright

The best rising sophomore that has yet to be mentioned this summer. His ascent began with descending times in the fall, spitting out a sub-17 at Otsego Bulldog which eventually turned into a 16:21 at Region 3.

Joseph Spada

Had one of the key efforts in the Giants’ regional victory, his 16:26 was a 25+ second personal best and put 4 KC boys in front of Portage Central’s 3^rd.

Ty Billings

Fall concluded juuust on the upper side of 17:00, though I think his spring was a great step towards shooting into the 16’s. A 10:02 in JT Long’s 3200m ranked Ty 15^th amongst Division 1 9^th graders in the event.

Michael Kloosterman

Has ventured into the 17’s during all three of his cross seasons.

Elijah Thompson

Efforts on the track may be a greater representation of his fitness than his cross times. Buttoned it down to 10:22 in the 3200m, placing 9^th in the SMAC as a freshman.

Finlay Cane

Only competed in two races during cross, but showed us valuable endurance during the spring, running 10:40 in the 3200m.

Potential Newcomers

Samuel Baker

Up for debate, but could be the best incoming freshman entering the high school scene. Undefeated during the official middle school season, then hung with the big boys at MITCA, running 16:23.
