I can’t thank Coach Morrison enough for this opportunity as I believe that he’s done a great job with rebuilding the programs, and he makes me feel wanted as a person, not just as a number.” We’re pumped you’re with us, Charlie!

Today we are thrilled to announce that Iain Gilmore from Blissfield HS will be joining the family. Iain says “ I’m so excited to attend Kalamazoo college this fall! Going as a student athlete to my top college is something of a dream come true. K provides me with so many opportunities such as the ability to double major and studying abroad my junior year, both of which I plan to take advantage of. I’m eager to study and run at K, can’t wait to share the track with you all next year!”
Welcome, Iain!

Today we welcome Madeline Riker of Gull Lake to the family. Madeline will become our next team manager and we’re thrilled to have her passion for the sport as part of our program. Madeline says “ever since I toured K through a field trip class in fifth grade, I knew it was the place for me. From its study abroad program to the flexibility to double or even triple major, it sounded like the school I wanted to continue to learn. The students, professors, and mentors are people I look forward to getting to know. After meeting with Coach Morrison this fall, I was sold on K. I can’t wait to be a team manager for the cross country and track teams!”
Welcome, Madeline!
