Jack Bidwell

Caleb Wesseldyk

Dominic Lowrie

The above kids are 50 Tickets members. One will have to wait a bit, the others are coming soon.

Owen Saylor

Incredible progression from a freshman that finished 76^th in 2021’s regionals to a junior that won his conference title and placed 6^th here in Region 13.

Sullivan Zietlow

Big goals in store for his senior year, and with the track season he just had, why wouldn’t he have them? 4:48 to 4:32 and 2:07 to 1:57 means more improvement is likely on the horizon.

Abraham McHugh

Showed the ability to run his best when it mattered most. 16:35 at State may not have been his best time, but it was one of the better performances. Of the 23 freshmen that competed that day, he was 4^th.

Reece Davis

Leap from his freshman to sophomore year a major reason for Marshall’s outstanding year. Low-17’s to low-16’s, moved up 20 spots at the regional level, and into the top-50 at State.

Elena Figueroa

Emma Hoffman

More top-50 girls!

Berkley Holtz

Not only sprinters and high jumpers coming out of Sturgis. You’ve also got a 2x County XC Champ and 2x state qualifier.

Madison Johnson

End of her junior season was the best stretch of her career. Sub-20 in her final five races. One of them a personal best, another her best regional placing, another her best spot at State.

Preslee Perkins

Three years in the waiting, Preslee finally broke into the 19’s as a junior. Four times, to be exact.

Skylar Mejeur

Freshman year included multiple 19:xx performances and the 16^th best freshman finish in D2.

Taylor Mitchell

A 2^nd/3^rd girl who’s already earned an All-State and a team state title will have great value for this Bulldog team. Three straight years running below 20 and finishing in the top-10 at the regional level.
