The Rundown
Two different coaches, injured, uninjured, running in ovals, or running on grass, Cassie’s been through it all. She found success almost immediately, breaking into the 19’s on Northville’s trip up to Benzie. From then on, she’s been on her A game whenever she lines up. Three top KLAA finishes, three trips to MIS, two podiums coming from those. Nearly the same resume on the track, consistent finisher with her team and by herself at the D1 stage.
But all that fast racing doesn’t come without setbacks and adversity. Between her sophomore and junior year, Northville changed coaches. There was little change in Cassie, setting a new PB and again placing in the top-20 at MIS. This past track season was stunted, and although she wasn’t quite as quick as her 2023 self, Cassie still made the State Finals.
I’m sure this senior year will have challenges and I’m sure Cassie will be well-prepared to tackle them.
