Ronnie Silveira

50 Ticket kid.

Will Engbers

Another 50 Ticket kid.

Jeb Hillary

Kilian Whalen

Comeback season of the year in ’23 for this Falcon. Earned a personal best at Allendale’s home invite and was a consistent figure in the high-15’s/low-16’s.

Abatu Dykstra

I’ve always loved his mid-distance work, being a contributor on some fierce Hawkeye relays. Their 4×4 squad just won a state title and Abatu himself earned an All-State finish in the 800m.

Parker Tiethof

After breaking into the 16’s halfway through his sophomore year, he’s wanted no part of anything slower. Steady figure in the 16’s, with two top-10 regional finishes too.

Emma Drnek

Yet another 50 Ticket kid.

Eliana Stob

Last year, a freshman that made her mark in the four lapper. Regional Champion over in Region 12, then threw down a 5:17 to place 20th in D2.

Ellery Lampen

Reached into her endurance bag during track. For the 3200m, hit the 11’s in late April, stayed consistent in the 11:40 range, before busting out an 11:26 at State.

Olivia Hollebeek

After ripping an 18:54 at Cougar Falcon, her late season self showed that was no fluke. From Portage on, almost always in the 19-flat range, often lower.

Johanna Mulder

Freshman campaign was cut short, her season ending at Portage. But by that point, she had already scraped her way into the low-19’s.
