Top Returners

Allie Nowak

After capturing last fall’s regional title and placing 3rd in Division 4, went on to show more of that growth during track. Subtracted 20+ seconds from her 1600m, 10+ seconds from her 800m on the path to a Ski Valley 800m title, Region 31 1600m title, and an All-State in the 1600m as well.

Yolanda Gascho

On the track, as with cross, she had approximately a month to click off all the fast times. Which she again did, racing to 5:41 in the 1600m, 4th amongst Division 4 freshmen.

Madalyn Agren

One of the harder workers you’ll find, has come quite a ways from the girl running in the 22-26 min. range in 2020. Sub-21 the past two years in cross, battling injuries to attain that time this past fall. But the setbacks often make the accomplishments sweeter, and I’m sure stepping on the podium to receive that 5th place medal in this spring’s Division 4 3200m was a moment wrought with emotion.

Cora Mullins

Currently on the sidelines, but we don’t let that detract us from giving recognition. Her 21:21 at Portage (a personal best) was over 3 whole minutes faster than the same race in 2021.

Rosalinda Gascho

Closed her sophomore year with a sub-22 then decided she wanted more. Bolted back into the 21’s at Portage and didn’t look back the rest of the year.

Potential Newcomers

Harlie Fox

Won the Ski Valley MS 400m and if anyone can turn 400m girls into XC contributors, it’s Coach Marcum.
