Top Returners

Lilah Kiley

Freshman dropped and dropped and dropped some more time, eventually ending up with a 19:45 over in Region 35.

Gracy Walker

In her last two years, she’s been top-5 at Region 35 and All-State twice, the latter of which moving up from 28th as a sophomore to 24th as a junior.

Meeghan Flikkie

Meeghan nearly halved her placing at MIS, moving from 109th to 56th, a key factor in her Cardinals attaining 4th place.

Molly Walker

Multi-faceted in her ability to compete in multiple events. This spring, she concentrated on the relays, short sprints, and even high jumped a few times. Look back to the fall, and you see a distance girl that improved all throughout the year, ending in a sub-21 at Regionals and top-60 spot at MIS.

Zoe Van Rijn

Wagener Park is her jam, the past three years setting her personal best on the course.

Hailey McGuire

9th grade season contained significant improvement, moving down into the 22’s when it started in the 27+ min range.

Potential Newcomers

Violet Tetil

Eighth grade year contained a few wins, such as North Park and in the NCTL, along with a few fast finishes, mid-12 efforts both early and late.

The Rundown

After he commenced his career with a solid freshman cross campaign, Logan set the freshman world on fire, spinning a 4:25 on his season closer. In the 2022 track season, that 4:25 was the best mark of any freshman Michigander in the 1600m, and was just one step toward a successful sophomore year. A part of his sophomore fall were many high placings, top-10’s at Michigan Catholic, Gabriel Richard, Wayne County, Regionals, and at the end of all that, an All-State. Track saw a new event and further realization of his potential, his 1:56 ranking 3rd amongst all Michigan athletes from the 10th grade and below. With many upperclassmen moving on to run at the next level, top finishes and high rankings will become championships, and Logan has 100% laid his foundation for those to come.

The Rundown

Year after year, writeup after writeup, so impressed with her range. She’s only touched the 400m twice while wearing a Grand Haven jersey, each time (once as a freshman, once as a sophomore) has been sub-60. She’s worn the Buc jersey on plenty of occasions on the cross course, many of which sub-19, some flirting with the 17’s. In between, a bevy of 1600m and 800m championships and incredible times. Each of the past two years, she’s run 2:12 at some point in the season and grabbed All-State in that event.

But what I really liked was her 4x800m anchor. Racing in the second heat, receiving the stick a good 40m behind Northville, racing against the clock and going for the win. Valerie patiently closed down the gap until passing the Mustangs in the final meters, clinching a 7th place finish for her Grand Haven girls. She’ll be running with them by her side this fall, so be aware in those final 173m, she’ll be looking to kick you down.
