Micah began running cross country in 6th grade at CLS. During high school, he not only qualified for state as an individual but also led the boys’ team to the state meet. As a result of his dedication, he earned a scholarship to Carthage, where he continues to excel.

Former CLS coach Marcy Hyllberg reflected, “Micah was not only a great runner but also a role model. He showed how hard work and perseverance pay off. Therefore, we are very proud of him.”

Ultimately, Micah’s success continues to inspire the CLS community as he thrives at the collegiate level.
