Senior Spotlight: Brody Kelsey 🏃

We are excited to highlight Brody as he continues his track and field career at the next level. Throughout his time training with us, Brody consistently put in the work to become a stronger, faster, and more well-rounded athlete. His commitment to improvement and willingness to push himself in every session have been exciting to watch and played a major role in his success on the track.

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT: This one is very special to us 💪

After battling through an ACL tear and revision surgery, Grant H.’s comeback story is one we’re incredibly proud to be a part of. Grant joined our Return-To-Play Bridge Program during the winter months as he geared up for his spring track season.

Since graduating from our RTP Bidge Program, Grant killed it this season at Walled Lake Western. He qualified for the state meet as a member of the 4x400-meter relay team and continued to raise the bar all year long. He recorded personal records in the 4x100 relay and his individual split in the 4x400 relay, helping Walled Lake Western break the school record while earning his eighth PR of the season.

Congratulations, Grant! Your hard work has paid off, and we’re excited to see what’s next.
