Performance of the Week: Huron Valley United's Stella Musialowski
January 30, 2026
Stella Musialowski ♦ Milford
Senior ♦ Gymnastics
Musialowski – who competes for Huron Valley United, a cooperative team of Milford and White Lake Lakeland students – finished first in the Division 1 all-around competition at her program’s Jeanne Caruss Memorial Invitational, which featured 20 teams from across the state. She scored a 38.0075, with first places on balance beam (9.7) and uneven parallel bars (9.4), a second place on floor exercise (9.675) and third on vault (9.3).
Her all-around success led Huron Valley United to a third-place team finish behind only annual Finals championship contenders Rockford and Farmington United. Musialowski – who played hockey and softball as well growing up before focusing on competitive gymnastics – is accelerating toward a big finish to her high school career. She finished 15th in Division 1 all-around at the MHSAA Finals as a sophomore and improved to sixth last season with a score of 36.800.

Performance of the Week: Okemos' Alena Li
October 20, 2023
Alena Li ♦ Okemos
Junior ♦ Golf
Li carded a 72 to win last week’s Lower Peninsula Division 1 Regional at Currie West in Midland, leading Okemos to an overall 350 score and team championship. The Regional win came shortly after she shot a career-low 66 at the Capital Area Activities Conference Blue Tournament in leading the Wolves to a championship there as well.
This weekend’s MHSAA Final at Michigan State’s Forest Akers West will be Li’s third, and she is expected to again be among contenders in a loaded field. She tied for ninth at the Final as a freshman, when Okemos placed third as a team, and tied for sixth last season as her team finished ninth.
