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!

Her Championship Season
Which one?
This past spring, when Adalyn rolled to a massive 1600m personal best at MITCA (4:50), that after notching her best ever D1 finish in the event?
Last fall, where she capped off a season of undefeated conference action, won her first Regional title, then grabbed a top-10 spot at MIS?
A year prior, when the then freshman consistently ran in the low-18’s, PRing in her region, and had no fear of the state stage (placing 11th)?
Two track seasons ago, where Raab was ranked in the top-5 amongst Michigan freshmen in the 1600m and 3200m?
Take a pick, as Adalyn spins her best material when everyone’s listening.
