Four members of the Student Advisory Council will represent the MHSAA at the inaugural National Student Leadership Summit hosted by the National Federation of State High School Associations from July 20-22 in Indianapolis.
Ben Kowalske of Livonia Stevenson, Bekah Myler of Gaylord St. Mary, Trevor Trierweiler of Portland and Greta Wilker of Belding will join an expected group of at least 100 students who are active in leadership programs in their home states.
Students will be split into groups for instructive discussions on communication with peers and adults, relationship building, social media usage and proper perspective in high school athletics. Attendees also will participate in a community service project with the Indiana Special Olympics.
MHSAA assistant director Andy Frushour, who advises the Student Advisory Council, will be among state association staff serving as adult ambassadors.
Check back at the end of July to learn how the Summit will help Michigan's representatives continue to provide strong student voices in educational athletics. Click to learn more on the Student Advisory Council.
Performance of the Week: Marquette's Olive Krueger
February 21, 2025
Olive Krueger ♦ Marquette
Sophomore ♦ Swimming
Krueger led Marquette’s girls swimming & diving team to its fourth-straight Upper Peninsula Finals championship with wins in the 100 (57.42) and 500-yard freestyles (5:40.30) and swimming on first-place 200 medley (1:59.32) and 200 freestyle relays (1:46.51). Those victories brought her grand total at Finals to three individual and three relay titles over two seasons.
As a freshman, Krueger won the 100 free and swam on the championship 400 free relay. She improved in the 100 at this season’s Finals by more than a second over last year and had finished runner-up in the 500 as a freshman as well – with that double rare as the 100 is a sprint and the 500 the longest high school race.
