On Aug. 9, three members of the MHSAA Student Advisory Council participated in the filming of a video for Bally Sports Detroit that celebrates the 50th anniversary of Title IX and the opportunities it created for high school student-athletes.
Detroit Renaissance junior Christian Sanders, Clarkston senior Keira Tolmie and Dearborn Advanced Tech Academy junior DaNia Womack appear in the video produced at Bally Sports Detroit’s studio. Natalie Kerwin is the narrator. The video will appear during “Football Fridays” presented by Southeast Michigan Ford Dealers on Bally Sports Detroit and during livestreams of high school games on the NFHS Network.
Tolmie also documented the day of filming in the following Tik Tok video.

Performance of the Week: Macomb Lutheran North's Lauren Timpf
October 27, 2023
Lauren Timpf ♦ Macomb Lutheran North
Senior ♦ Golf
Timpf closed her high school career over the weekend as one of the most accomplished champions in MHSAA golf history. She carded a final-round 5-under-par 67 at The Meadows at Grand Valley State University on Saturday to finish with a two-round 141 and win the Lower Peninsula Division 3 individual championship by eight strokes. The championship was Timpf's third at a Final, as she and Ann Arbor Greenhills junior Mia Melendez (who won the LPD4 title over the weekend) joined just six others in Lower Peninsula girls golf history to finish as a Finals medalist three times.
The 67 tied for the second-lowest 18-hole score at a girls MHSAA Final, all classes and divisions included, and was just a stroke behind Timpf's Finals-record 66 from the first round of the 2021 LPD3 championship tournament at Michigan State University's Forest Akers West. The 141 tied for the eighth-lowest 36-hole score on the all-class/division Finals list (on which Timpf's 2021 score of 139 remains tied for third). She will continue next season at Purdue.
