Performance of the Week: Grandville's Caden Livermore
September 18, 2026

Caden Livermore ♦ Grandville
Senior ♦ Cross Country
Livermore has been one of the state’s elite cross country runners for more than a year, and he proved it once again at Saturday’s Spartan Invitational at Michigan State, winning the “Elite” race in a time of 15:19.4, 12.2 seconds ahead of a field that included several of the state’s top returning runners from a year ago.
The Grandville senior is coming off a third-place finish at last year’s Lower Peninsula Division 1 Final and at the Spartan finished just ahead of Kalamazoo Central’s Samuel Baker and Northville’s Brandon Cloud, who placed 22nd and second, respectively, at Michigan International Speedway last November. Livermore’s top time this season of 15:03.1 ranks fourth on the state’s top times list, all divisions included. He’s also coming off runner-up finishes in the 1,600 and as part of the 1,600 relay at this spring’s LPD1 Track & Field Finals, and after graduation he’ll be competing in both sports at Grand Valley State University, where he’s interested in studying kinesiology and business.
