Top Returners

Brendan Herger

Has excelled in championship meets these past two years. 2^nd Place in Region 6 as a sophomore, champion this past year. He’s been All-State twice and top-5 in the KLAA twice as well.

Ethan Powell

Think he may have found a lil’ somethin’ in the 800m this spring. Only ran two of ‘em, but lowered his personal best from 2:04 to 1:58

Nicholas Yaquinto

On a deep Northville team, patience is a virtue. Nick got his first crack at the big varsity stages as a junior and made the most of them, racing to mid-16 efforts at Portage, Region 6, and at State.

Benjamin Hartigan

Soon to be sophomore concentrated on the mile in the spring, shaving time almost all the time, eventually ending at 4:31, ranking 4^th amongst all D1 9^th graders.

Vincent Filipek

Commenced his career in the middle of the ’21 season. Completed a full season in ’22, dropping his personal best by a minute.

Ishaan Kundapur

This spring, his final race in a Northville jersey was on May 8^th. But that wasn’t his closer, that was a 4:32 at MITCA’s Champions of Champions Festival. Ten seconds better than his season best, 35+ seconds faster than his freshman best.

Nick Barretto

I love those 9^th/10^th grade invites such as Bob Brown. I don’t rate them, but they’re often on fast courses that motivate kids for the future. No doubt Nick was inspired by his 16:52 there in the fall, as he was able to run 4:44 during track.

Ryan Stojov

In the spring, outperformed his freshman cross country self by a long distance, snapping off a 4:43 in early May.

Luke Schwartz

Has been in the 17’s all three years. Junior year featured his best conclusion to a segment, ending the year with eight straight sub-18’s.

Potential Newcomers

Brandon Cloud

Four races on his Meads Mill middle school docket. All four were top-10’s and two were wins, at the KLAA and in Zone 3.

Basho Muhlbauer

Not very many races on his resume, but successful in the few in which he competed. Top-5’s throughout, including a 2^nd place finish in Zone 3.
