Alex has been included in the 50 Tickets, the other three will have to wait a little bit!
Tremendous improvement the past two years, moving from a kid who ran in the 18’s as a freshman to a junior that occasionally cracked into the 15’s.
State Finals performance was one of the better ones of his life. Projected 50th, placed 36th, and is now right on the door of the vaunted 15’s.
We’re here for the kids that show up on regional day, such as Simon’s 9:40 (16 second PB!) 3200m to make it to D2 State.
Freshman year ended with a few incredible 800’s, including a 1:55.2 that’s #2 amongst ALL freshmen in the state.
37th here last year, over two minutes slower than his fastest time of the fall. Happy to report that the polar opposite occurred at May’s track regionals – a 13 sec. PR and state qualifying berth.

One’s been written about, the other will be posted in a few weeks!
Overcame the sorrow of a heartbreaking ’22 State Final finish by placing 15th the following year. Ezgi missed most of this past track season due to injury, but we know she can grow stronger from adversity.
Multi-faceted star does many things – hurdles, relays, 19’s on cross courses. But main focus come track were 3200’s late, with a win at Region 15 and 16th place in D2.
Primarily a mid-distance girl early in her career, Ayla spent 2024 expanding to horizons. And to good results, such as 15th in D2’s 1600m.
Penchant for championship season performing with top-10 placings here each of the past two years and I-8 wins in both the 1600 and 3200m.
Not often you see a 200/400 (and now 800!) girl seamlessly run 5k’s, but Joy’s one of ‘em. Each of the past two years, she’s run in the low-19’s when it matters most.
Has never finished outside of the top-10 over here in Region 14.
