It’s baaack. A summertime tradition has returned, the 50 Tickets to Brooklyn. These lists celebrate the top 50 returners – based on a concoction of the ’25 XC season, projected improvements, the ’26 Track season, and a tiny bit of my own input.

Enjoy!

You Know I Dig Improvement

And Sienna, throughout the fall and winter, definitely slashed chunks of seconds.

A tough task considering where Klemmer began her career. During her freshman year, she established herself as one of the better 9th graders in the state. By the end of autumn, she had busted into the 17’s, placing 15th in Division and coming in as the 5th fastest freshman in Division 1. Track wasn’t half bad either, as Klemmer was super consistent in the 3200m, splitting sub-11 on every opportunity she had over eight laps.

Considering all that, immediate improvements came when she raced. Sienna wasted no time in finding another cross PR, ripping a 17:12 in her Pete Moss opener, nearly 100 sec. quicker than what she was a year prior. Although time-wise she hovered around that mark for the rest of the fall, her overall resume was much quicker, staying below 18:00 in >80% of her races. That quickness was capped off at MIS, where Sienna placed 8th, 7 spots lower than the previous year.

Her track campaign was shortened relative to the previous year, but in her winter work, evidence was present of even greater drops. Whereas her freshman 3200’s were all over 10:45, she reached down as far as 10:25 in the Gazelle Elite 3200m. Extending distance at New Balance Indoor was a success, her 17:06 essentially run at the pace she had raced 3200m at the previous spring.

To improve so much when already running at an impeccable level, it gives wonder to what else Sienna can accomplish.
