The Rundown

Streaks broken, championships accumulated, all under Ronnie’s watch.

Flash back to 2022, Silveira’s freshman year, a season that was near the beginning of Allendale’s renaissance. 18 years had passed since the Falcons had won a conference title. They were laced with quality athletes: Whalen, Gross, Tiethof, among others. And a freshman Ronnie, who placed in the top-10 in all OK Blue Jamborees, helping his team win their first conference title in nearly two decades.

A year later and Silveira showed much growth. He’d transformed from a kid breaking into the 16’s late to one that kicked off his season in that range. Top-10’s at Spartan and Portage followed, two wins in the OK Blue too. The 16:00 times had turned to a few 15’s, Allendale was now a top-5 team in the state, and with Ronnie hitting the line in 2nd, clinched their first regional trophy in 24 years.

It’s been a quarter century since the Falcons won a state title. Ronnie’s still out there.
