Tyler Laansma

Coming off a tremendous track season where he was able to slip under 10:00 in the 3200m and run 4:33 as well.

Riley Weed

Has about as much experience as you could ask for from a sophomore, twice in the top-50 at MIS and top-10 here in Region 31.

Noah Schipper

Track season, especially the 3200m, shows he can improve upon the 33^rd place finish at State. 10:15 ranked #5 amongst all freshmen in D4.

Gibson White

One of many Crusaders not to get overwhelmed by the championship season moments. Low-17’s throughout October into November, the kind of marks that help your team hoist a trophy.

Coleson Cruzan

Benzie to Chippewa Hills, Region 29 to 20 to 30. No matter what the division or location, Coleson has moved on from each region to run at State. He looks to make it four in a row this fall, now at Allendale in Region 31.

(Seriously though, White Cloud is that perfect central location that makes them an easy chess piece to move around. They could easily drive to Shepherd or Benzie and still be within a reasonable distance of a regional.)

Christian Getz

Greatly outperformed his championship season projections. Thought he’d be 14^th here, placed 3^rd. Thought he’d be 53^rd at MIS, finished 40^th.

Libby Smith

Dropped into the 18’s on many occasions, won over half of her races, finished 2^nd here, and nailed a top-10 finish at MIS. I’d say that’s a pretty decent start to her career.

Veyda Conley

Freshman season came with a tremendous close. 19:51 here for 3^rd, then a shocking 19:33 at State.

Kelcie Pung

Fowler’s immaculate track season wasn’t just in the sprints and hurdles, you also had girls such as Kelcie that ran 5:23/11:59. She’s coming over from Region 33, where she’s nabbed a state qualifier in each of her past three regional races.

Ava DeYoung

Another Tiger freshman, able to smash into the 19’s and pick up top-10 finishes here and in the SAC Championship.

Lauren Shaffer

Showed to be extremely reliable in her 9^th grade season, over 60% of her races were sub-21.
