As the dust has settled from the 2026 summer training, here are the top performers from our metrics that went into the scoreboard. The first page shows the top 10 total point scorers throughout the entire summer. The additional pages are the top 10 in each separate category. Fun to see the top 10 make some big improvements from the early part of the summer to the end.

What a summer! This is the closest our scoreboard has been at the end. Congratulations to Abby Klaphake’s team on coming out on top when it was all said and done! A big thank you to all the athletes who committed their time, energy, and efforts into showing up and working to better themselves and their teams. Another big thank you to the coaches (Kaydence Bertram, Ria Nelson, Brandon Welle, and Ike Vesel) who helped assist me in making this summer another great one. Another thank you to Lindsay Anderson for helping fill in when needed.

One week remains of our summer training. With the final week setting up to be the biggest potential week for points, 1st place is still very much up for grabs for a number of teams. Last week, Paige Stommes' team had a 54.45-point lead. Her team now enters the final week with only a 31.36-point lead. Can't wait to see whose going to show up this last week and make the final push for the top spot!

With only two weeks of summer training left, the leaderboard is heating up! Can anyone close the gap on Paige Stommes’s team, or will they hold their lead until the final whistle? Let’s see who finishes strong!

As we are a little over the halfway point of the summer, we have some good movement happening on the scoreboard, and some margins are becoming narrower!

We have had 3 weeks of solid training by our athletes! Here you will see where our scoreboard sits after those 3 weeks, as well as our top results in some of our testing metrics that go towards the scoreboard. Can't wait to see who can crack the top 10 or climb to the top for the second half of the summer!

As the school year comes to an end, our final Performers of the Month go out to Sophomore Wyatt Klaphake and 8th grader Nell Wiechmann. Both of these athletes are extremely dedicated and hardworking. They are both the type of athletes who not only make themselves better, but also make everyone else around them better. They embody the team-first culture, and that elevates everyone else around them. Looking forward to seeing how much further they will take their athletic development!

The 3rd annual Speed School Throwdown with Minnewaska Athletic Development has come to a conclusion. I am pleased to announce that Melrose was able to come away with the victory and regain the traveling trophy! It was a lot of fun to see a number of Personal Bests by the athletes who showed up and competed. I will post an additional slide in the coming days of some individual numbers. Great work, everyone!

April Performers of the Month 💪
The Team of the Month for April was the Junior High Track & Field Team. This group trained 2x a week and did a great job each time they stepped into the room. These athletes are building a foundation that will help them in all their athletic endeavors moving forward!
The male and female performers of the month are Eric Braun and Avery Braegelmann. These two juniors are no strangers to our athletic development program. Both are regulars for our morning Speed and Strength and have established a well-rounded year-long training routine. They continue to make small improvements as they stack quality training days on top of each other.
It was a great month of training for the Dutchmen!
