Performance of the Week: Farmington Hills Mercy's Campbell Flynn
September 27, 2024
Campbell Flynn ♦ Farmington Hills Mercy
Senior ♦ Volleyball
The 6-foot-3 setter had 28 assists and five kills as top-ranked Farmington Hills Mercy swept rival and No. 4-ranked Bloomfield Hills Marian 25-15, 25-15, 25-21. Mercy is the reigning Division 1 champion – having ended Marian’s three-year hold on the title last fall – and Flynn is considered among the top seniors nationally and earlier this month was named one of 10 finalists for this season’s Miss Volleyball Award from the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association.
Flynn entered this fall as a two-time Division 1 all-state first-team selection and made the third team as a freshman. She also has built up significant international experience as well over the last two years as a member of USA Volleyball’s U19 and U21 national teams. She will continue her career at Nebraska, which is ranked No. 2 this week and has finished NCAA Tournament runner-up two of the last three seasons including a year ago.

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.
