Anthony Rowe

Been hearing about Anthony for years now and track season showed me why. A 4:41 personal best in his most important race earned him a state qualifier and opportunity to get some State Finals track experience.

Carter Clark

Embraced the switch from Region 33 to 30, moving up 29 places and dropping nearly 2 minutes (on a tougher course, mind you!). He was 5^th here last year and it appears that Carter can move up even further.

Wesley Chaffee

A little under the radar, but a name to watch in the future. Wesley earned top-10 freshman marks in the 1600m and 3200m.

Kristian Coon

All that thinking about the State Meet led to a race where he both outperformed his projected spot (82^nd to 72^nd) and outperformed his previous PR (17:56 to 17:40).

Rodney Iamurri

A name I’ve been writing for years and a name that’s ever present at the regional level. Three consecutive 8^th place finishes and three consecutive State qualifiers.

Abigail Davis

Vestaburg ain’t done yet with impactful runners. She’s your defending regional champ and I’m always impressed given where she started, a 33:00+ race at the start of her career. Abigail is a great candidate to move up from her 26^th place State finish, hot off a track season where she ran 5:12/11:25, crossing the D4 State line 4^th in each.

Ally Schmitz

Always finds a way to bring her best at season’s end. Two years ago, this was a PB at Chippewa Hills that secured a Breckenridge win, last year it was a major PB at State, her first race in the 19’s.

Danica Aldrich

Comes off the best track season of her career, where a 5:47 dropped 12 sec. from her previous best. And then a 12:14 in her first year embracing eight laps, was good enough for 20^th at D4 State.

Anna Sheppard

Got rollin’ when October came around. Two 20:27’s at Portage and Class D led to a 3^rd place finish here and top-60 spot at MIS.

Nolee Leppert

Initial high school XC season came with many honors, including a Highland Conference Championship and a State Qualifier.
