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.
