Top Returners

Malaki Gascho

Battled back from injury to contribute to the Cardinals’ 2^nd place finish at State. Notched his 2^nd consecutive All-State in the process. Track gives more of a glimpse, especially in the 3200m, his 9:48 (and 4^th spot at State) showing he’ll be a frontrunner in D4.

Blake Fox

Has spent two consecutive years in the 16’s, capped off with two All-State finishes.

Jeremiah Witt

First season of cross as a sophomore featured two sub-18’s to close. But like many, look to track, where marks such as a 10:19 in the 3200m suggest an athlete that can drop significant time.

Dusty Layman

Set six personal bests during his junior season, and by the end of it had dropped nearly three minutes from his sophomore best.

Potential Newcomers

Drake Fulton

An athletic junior that apparently ran 19:30 at the Timberfest this past weekend on very little training.

Top Returners

Juniper Rodham

In both of her years, has ended with times in the 20’s, though a stark contrast in places. 102^nd at 2021’s State Finals, 21^st at the 2022 version.

Tara Shouldice

More than half of her freshman efforts were north of 25:00. More than half of her sophomore efforts were south of 21:30, including a 6^th place finish in Region 28.

Lizzie Bassett

The best three races of her freshman season were her final three. Hard to pick the best of the bunch, but a 7^th place in Region 28 stands out.

Fran Warren

I know East Jordan is a quick course, but even so, her 21:17 is easily her best performance of the year.

McKenzie Bowman

Another one that showed up and stepped out, leading the Rams to a Regional championship. Her 21:17 at East Jordan was 40+ seconds better than any time she displayed in 2022.

Grace Hayhurst

Subtracted 3+ minutes from her freshman PR.

Potential Newcomers

Stefi Reskevics

Undefeated on the track and only one defeat on the cross courses. A 5:35 in the 1600m might give a glimpse into her potential.

Genevieve Rodham

Twice in the 13’s last year, going as low as 13:17.

Drew Bowman

Two 8^th grade results, both in the 13-min. range.

The Rundown

In the 2022 season, Braylon capitalized on a storm that’d been brewing for years. I wrote in last year’s preview that he’d attained top times amongst his freshman class, then similar success compared to when they were sophomores. That trend only continued. Time-wise, he wasted no time breaking barriers, covering the Willow course in under 16:00 at Ramblin’ Rock. Competition-wise, he accomplished feats he’d never done before – such as a top-10 finish at Region 18. And of course, he accomplished feats that he had done before, making it back-to-back All-States at MIS. His valued teammate, Aiden Smith, leaves him for Mount Pleasant, but Braylon will have plenty of youngsters capable of competing alongside him, ready to learn lessons from one of the better examples of what hard work can do.
