The Rundown



Boy, Storai can sure develop ‘em, right? Throughout his coaching tenure, Fraser has always had a guy, and always seemingly coming out of nowhere, First it was Eli, a sophomore barely breaking 4:50 turning into a senior running 9:16, now looking to contribute on a Wayne State team that can place highly in Division 2. Or a Justin Roose, hovering above 20:00 as a freshman and then speeding to a 4:23 as a senior.

Now it’s Tyler, who has dropped a good 2 ½ minutes in 2 years. As a sophomore, he ended his season in the traditional sophomore swoon, going sub-18 at County, Regional, and State. This past season is where the real progress showed, first in cross with a majority of the season in the 16’s before racing to a 15:53 at Goodells. Then in track, where Tyler excelled in the mid-distance events, his 1:56 placing 16th (seriously how strong is this state) in Division 1, to go along with a 4:20 earlier in the year. As we’ve learned with the Ramblers over the past few years, expect more to come.

The Rundown

You may not know this, but I do! Romeo’s Bulldog women finished second as a team last year. Why? When you have girls such as Violet running one of the better races of their season, that’s why. She had already been sub-19 earlier in the year, running an 18:34 at Jackson, but many of her efforts throughout the season were above the 19-min. mark. Her 18:53 was one of three Romeo girls to obtain all-state. Violet herself moved up from the 54th place she managed as a freshman, and we saw those same gains during track. She dropped 10 seconds in the 1600m, 20 in the 3200m, and if the trends continue, look for more red on that Brooklyn podium.
