Performance of the Week: Troy's Olivia Jasniewicz
April 11, 2025
Olivia Jasniewicz ♦ Troy
Junior ♦ Soccer
Jasniewicz scored the go-ahead goal as Troy defeated reigning Division 1 champion Rochester Adams 2-1 on April 3, not only giving the Colts an early advantage in the Oakland Activities Association Red race, but also avenging Troy's overtime loss to Adams in last season's Regional Final. Jasniewicz sent home an Ava Fleming pass with 16:27 to play to put their team ahead for good.
A forward and midfielder, Jasniewicz made the Division 1 all-state first team last season as Troy finished 14-2-3 and won the OAA Red title. The Colts are 4-0-1 this season and No. 3 in Division 1 in this week's first rankings of the season, just ahead of Adams at No. 4. Jasniewicz moved to Troy from Canada a few years ago and played volleyball and basketball for Troy earlier this school year after growing up also competing in cross country, swimming and track.

Performance of the Week: Pickford's Talya Schreiber
October 24, 2025
Talya Schreiber ♦ Pickford
Senior ♦ Cross Country
The Panthers' distance star capped her high school cross country career Saturday by winning her third-straight Upper Peninsula Division 3 Finals championship and obliterating her race record time clocking an 18:31.6 at Pictured Rocks Golf Course in Munising. That time outpaced her record run last year by more than 17 seconds and also would rank as the second-fastest in both UP Division 2 and Division 1 Finals histories.
Schreiber dominated throughout her season, finishing first in 11 races, third once and fourth once, and while making several trips to face downstate competition. She finished first at the Portage Central Early Bird Invitational on Aug. 15 and also first in the Division 4 race at the Oct. 4 Portage Invitational, where she bested the field by 30 seconds. She placed third in the Division 1-2 Gold race at the Veterans Serving Veterans Invitational in Cadillac and fourth in the Elite race at the Shepherd BLUEJAY Invitational while running a personal-record 17:46.5 against some of the Lower Peninsula's fastest runners. She also this spring led Pickford to its first track & field UP Finals championship since 2007, winning the 800, 1,600, 3,200 and leading off the winning 3,200 relay in Division 3.
