Top Returners

Allie Nowak

After capturing last fall’s regional title and placing 3^rd in Division 4, went on to show more of that growth during track. Subtracted 20+ seconds from her 1600m, 10+ seconds from her 800m on the path to a Ski Valley 800m title, Region 31 1600m title, and an All-State in the 1600m as well.

Yolanda Gascho

On the track, as with cross, she had approximately a month to click off all the fast times. Which she again did, racing to 5:41 in the 1600m, 4^th amongst Division 4 freshmen.

Madalyn Agren

One of the harder workers you’ll find, has come quite a ways from the girl running in the 22-26 min. range in 2020. Sub-21 the past two years in cross, battling injuries to attain that time this past fall. But the setbacks often make the accomplishments sweeter, and I’m sure stepping on the podium to receive that 5^th place medal in this spring’s Division 4 3200m was a moment wrought with emotion.

Cora Mullins

Currently on the sidelines, but we don’t let that detract us from giving recognition. Her 21:21 at Portage (a personal best) was over 3 whole minutes faster than the same race in 2021.

Rosalinda Gascho

Closed her sophomore year with a sub-22 then decided she wanted more. Bolted back into the 21’s at Portage and didn’t look back the rest of the year.

Potential Newcomers

Harlie Fox

Won the Ski Valley MS 400m and if anyone can turn 400m girls into XC contributors, it’s Coach Marcum.

The Rundown

In the wake of Romeo’s 2020 Boys team title, I tweeted this out:

Vince must’ve taken note, because if this timeline isn’t similar, I don’t know what is. Back in 2020, four races populate Vince’s resume. Beginning in the 22:30’s and ending in the 20’s, but all four above the 20-min. mark. Marked improvement as a sophomore, running the majority of his races in the 18’s, though not even touching his potential that he’s realized in these days.

What is that potential he’s realized? Well, it started during his sophomore year of track, where in mid-April, he freed his mind, unlocking the ability to hang with the top groups of Bulldog boys. What ensued in the coming months were a series of 4:30’s, a sub-10, and a State Finals appearance. Showing the track season was no fluke, that only continued into cross, where Vince closed the year with sub-16’s in five of his final six races.

Let’s see if we can keep the tradition going. If you’re reading this and you were a freshman boy who no one quite knows of, look to examples such as Vince and shock us all.

The Rundown

You wanna recite all those awards and accolades? Frankenmuth and Mary keep comin’ after you, week after week, and a great amount of the time, she’s winning. Let me break her XC career down in more manageable terms: over the past three years, she’s raced the 5k 49 times and won 32 of those, over 65%. Many of those were of the championship variety, such as three Region 15, TVC-8 and Greater Flint titles, two Saginaw County titles, and a TVC Overall win.

Come track, I’ve got another impressive stat: of all the seniors in Division 2, only one has doubled at each of the State Finals and come away with All-State honors in each event. In each of the past three years, she’s doubled in the 1600/3200m, reaching as low as 3^rd in the 1600m as a freshman and 2^nd in the 3200m this past spring.

Keep in mind all this was done while playing multiple sports, working, earning superb grades, and being an excellent leader for her Eagle teams. With the passion and exuberance that she brings toward life, it’s no wonder life is paying her back with such wondrous running.
