Ben March

The three consecutive All-States might ignore the improvement along the way. In three seasons, he’s moved from 8th in Region 24 to last year’s Regional Champion. And on the track, dropped his long distance PB’s from 4:59 to 4:42 and 10:08 to 9:51.

Landon Pestrue

Check out Landon’s freshman year and compare it to many of the youngsters listed below. They’re such similar profiles. Hopefully they can learn and take the path as he did, because in the year of growth, he moved from 63rd in D3 to 22nd.

Alex Rodriguez

Quite a contrast between the halves of his season. September and prior, a kid in the 18-19 min. range. Past October 1st, 6 of his 7 races in the 17’s, including the rare personal best at MIS.

Colin Kuhn

Each of the past two years, he’s closed his seasons with a series of sub-18 efforts, both holding top-10 regional finishes.

Hayden Shattuck

Consistent close to his sophomore year, containing five straight low-18 efforts.

Jessica Jazwinski

Another one of those ultimate low sticks. For Hart in 2022, she won all but one of her races, that being in early September. Come championship season, undefeated, leading her Pirates to a regional title and fourth place finish in Division 3.

Alyson Enns

2022 season wasn’t as quick as some of the others. And when I say that, I only mean it was her 3rd straight year reaching into the 17’s. She’s picked 3 consecutive top-5 finishes down south at MIS.

Lexie Beth Nienhuis

When she’s not pole vaultin’ or hittin’ the mid-distance hard, she’s running quality cross races, placing 4th in the WMC each of the past two years.

Kenai Kokx

Late season surge and ability to perform on a large stable enabled the Pirates to secure another top finish. High-20’s and low-21’s for much of championship season.

Lauren Pretty

In 2021, didn’t even participate on the Pirates late season championship squad. In 2022, was the 6th girl, displacing many in Region 20 en route to their regional win.

Brooklyn Carter

Sophomore season ended prematurely, but still accomplished another year of getting into the 21’s.

Lilly Hopkins

Along with her sophomore improvements in cross, added a foot to her pole vaults, enough to place 11th in D3.

The Rundown

Patience and domination have been the theme of Tyler’s career. Patience, knowing that an injury during his junior XC season was just a bump in the road, that by recovering and coming back stronger that he’d have a whirl of a track season. Patience early in his career, running a bevy of 19-20 min. races, turning into a kid who set the school record early last fall. Patience in the first few laps of Division 4’s 1600m, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Then casting the final, dominating move to ensure victory. And finally, patience this summer, knowing huge goals await in these upcoming months…
