Top Returners

Josh Slocum

Waiting until October to get his season started, Josh quickly reacquainted himself to the cross courses,

Tucker Krumm

This marks three consecutive years that he’s been in the mid-10’s during TCSF’s 2 mile time trial. Each of the past two years have resulted in top-5 regional finishes and sub-17 efforts.

Riley Pattinson

Compare between the years. His freshman year concluded with the East Jordan PROM, running a respectable 19:10. A year later? Sub-17, top-10 finish, his season lasting one week longer.

Lewis Walter

Gotta love the Glads throwing results on athleticnet early in the year for me (and Tanner) to dissect. Lewis ran nearly 40 sec. faster than last year, a year where he placed 5^th in the LMC.

Owen Read

Fostered the ability to compete with strength this spring. A 10:18 3200m placed third in the LMC and was close to a minute faster than his freshman form.

Robby Myler

Nearly halved his place at the LMC, cutting it down from 25^th to 13^th, slicing nearly 50 sec. off his freshman best time.

Potential Newcomers

William Ready

Established himself as one of the better incoming freshmen in Northern Michigan by winning the Northern Michigan Meet of Champs 3200m.

Dex Nance

A bit inconsistent, but performed his best come later in the season. Sub-12 at Shepherd and another low-12 result at Zone 7.

Joseph Carlson

We have a transfer, folks! Joseph may not be an immediate impact, but he has championship experience, placing All-State in the UP Division 3 1600m, 3200m, and in XC.

Top Returners

Brynn Schulte

Freshman year contained wins at Kalkaska, Mancelona, and the Mud Run. Also top-finishes in championship races, all 3^rd’s at Northern Michigan, Region 19, and the LMC.

Anna Pray

Established herself in the 800m this spring, clearly a fan of excruciating pain over 2.5 minutes. Actually, she was a bit below that 2.5 min. mark, having closed her season with six consecutive sub-2:30’s, including a 12^th place finish in Division 3.

Kendall Standfest

Multi-sport star trended downwards as the season rolled along. After opening with a 21:53 at Pete Moss, Kendall subtracted two full minutes from that by the time she left East Jordan in late October.

Hunter Schellenbarger

Hunter’s progress from her freshman to sophomore year unlocked the Elks quest towards a top team. She leap frogged much of the 21’s and all of the 20’s on her path to a 19:55 and 10^th place finish at East Jordan.

Jaida Schulte

’22 season featured her first top-100 finish at MIS and a 30 sec. improvement at Region 19, heading well into the 20’s.

Eva Pray

Moved down in a few different manners. One, in terms of place: from 27^th to 17^th in the LMC and 27^th to 22^nd in Region 19. Then in terms of seconds, running 22:06 at that region in 2021 to 21:09 this past fall.

Joelle Swanson

Incredibly consistent in her first year running the 5k. Nearly all of her efforts were in the 21’s and even those that weren’t, were juuuust barely above 22:00.

The Rundown

Things began to fall into place during his sophomore year of track. After a freshman year where he showed a penchant for speed (2:04, freshman County champ) and two cross seasons with satisfactory strength, Ty started to take his races to another level. He wasted hardly meets in dropping time, opening with a 2:01 at SVSU, then knocking on the door of 2:00 many times. While he was waiting to bust through 2:00, his mile times began to drop as well, and by season’s end, we had a 1:59/4:20 kid.

With the breakthroughs on the track came similar accomplishments in cross. Learning to race, how to redline it, and hang tough was a major emphasis. Ty was able to grind through tough courses, placing 2^nd in Region 7 and 5^th in Oakland County, then outlasting fast competition at the Hansons and LVC Invite. His 15^th place at the State Finals was his first All-State, a feat he was able to match in track, even from the slower heat. The Knights have a great mix of speed, strength, youth, and Ty’s experience. This fall may be special, both in the confluence of all those factors and Ty’s mix of grit and wheels.
