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: Whitmore Lake's Kaylie Livingston
November 8, 2024
Kaylie Livingston ♦ Whitmore Lake
Sophomore ♦ Cross Country
After finishing runner-up as a freshman, Livingston took the championship step to win her first MHSAA Final in this sport, claiming the Lower Peninsula Division 4 title Saturday at Michigan International Speedway in 18 minutes, 6.5 seconds. Livingston built an 8.6-second lead during the first mile and won the race by nearly 14 seconds, and in the process also led Whitmore Lake to a repeat team championship.
Livingston won 13 races total this fall, finishing second once and sixth among a field that included two more eventual Finals champions in the Shepherd BLUEJAY Invitational Elite race. She also plays basketball for Whitmore Lake, making the all-Michigan Interscholastic Athletic Conference first team as a freshman, and she's just a few months removed from winning the 3,200 meters, finishing second in the 1,600 and running on the winning 3,200 relay at the spring's LPD4 Track & Field Finals.
