Top Returners
Year-to-year improvement evident in his OK White finishes. As a freshman, he averaged 12th place. As a junior, he averaged a 5th place finish.
In late May, nearly matched his 4:26 personal best, impressive because he missed most of the spring with a stress reaction. Given a full training cycle, expect him to return to the All-State form he displayed late in his junior year.
The evolution of a kid hanging on to a kid pushing the pace. His 16:04 at Portage was a major breakthrough. Showing great emotional maturity, he didn’t let that get to his head, achieving top-10’s at the final OK White Jamboree and Region 12. Watch him grow under Coach Collette’s careful guidance.
The all-important 5th man on EGR’s State Title squad. He’ll likely move up a spot, but the role remains the same, the need for consistency in pressure-packed races. He’ll draw on last year, running three of his better races to close the year, mid-16 efforts in the OK White, Region 12, and State.
Over the course of two months, worked his way down from the low-18’s to the low-17’s. Not on the athletic.net profile, but did split a 2:05 at Division 2’s State Finals, showing that those low-17’s may turn into something a bit faster.
Flashed talent early in his career, breaking 18:00 as a freshman and hitting a 17:16 at 2021’s State Finals. Junior year cut short by injury, but if his commitment to swim for West Virginia is any indication, this all-around athlete will return to that form.
Potential Newcomers
Combine that 11:15 speed with the Pioneer culture and you may be looking at someone special.
