The State Champs! network visited the MHSAA's Student Advisory Council during a meeting this spring and this weekend filed a report detailing the work SAC members contribute throughout the school year.
The Student Advisory Council is a 16-member group which provides feedback on issues impacting educational athletics from a student’s perspective, and also is involved in the operation of Association championship events and other programming. Members of the Student Advisory Council serve for two years, beginning as juniors.
With the addition of the Class of 2017 this summer, members will have represented 79 schools from 42 leagues plus independent schools that do not play in a league.
This school year's Council included seniors Eliza Beird of Holland Black River; Grant Osborne, White Lake Lakeland; Amanda Paull, Cheboygan; Jonathan Perry, McBain Northern Michigan Christian; Emily Starck, Remus Chippewa Hills; Connor Thomas, Marlette; Caycee Turczyn, Lapeer West; and Aaron Van Horn, Kingston; and juniors Tucker Gross of Beal City; Katie Hartzler, Bridgman; Benjamin Kowalske, Livonia Stevenson; Jordan Michalak, Birmingham Seaholm; Bekah Myler, Gaylord St Mary; Jared Pittman, Muskegon; Trevor Trierweiler, Portland; and Greta Wilker, Belding.

October 16, 2026
Levi Lengemann ♦ Imlay City

Lengemann won both of his matches at No. 1 singles Oct. 5 at the Blue Water Area Conference Tournament, completing a perfect run against league competition this fall and leading Imlay City to its first league championship in boys tennis since 1984. He finished this season 17-4 overall and was named BWAC Most Valuable Player.
The Spartans' ace hadn't played much tennis before high school but began his career playing No. 4 singles as a freshman. He climbed the next season into the No. 2 spot before playing No. 1 his final two seasons, and he finished with a 41-31 career record. Lengemann also plays baseball for Imlay City and previously played basketball. He's considering studying business in college and would like to eventually become an electrician.
