The MHSAA's Student Advisory Council met for the first time Tuesday for its annual 24-hour leadership camp at Mystic Lake near Farwell.
Check out this "Flipagram" from the MHSAA's Instagram page to see some of what these 16 students experienced during the trip.
Returning members of the Council who will graduate next spring are Eliza Beird from 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.
They are joined by incoming juniors Tucker Gross of Beal City; Katie Hartzler, Bridgman; Benjamin Kowalske, Livonia Stevenson; Jared Pittman, Muskegon; Bekah Myler, Gaylord St. Mary; Jordan Michalak, Birmingham Seaholm; Trevor Trierweiler, Portland; and Greta Wilker, Belding.
The Student Advisory Council 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. Eight new members are selected annually to serve on the SAC, with nominations made by MHSAA member schools.

Battle of the Fans: Vote Now
February 20, 2012
The time has come to decide the winner of the inaugural MHSAA Battle of the Fans contest.
And we've put the decision, in part, in your hands.
Vote today through Thursday on your favorite of five finalists -- Petoskey, Rockford, Reese, Grand Rapids Christian and Frankenmuth -- by clicking the poll link on the right side of this screen.
But before you do, be sure to brush up on each by clicking on the stories behind all five sections and watching our MHSAA-produced videos of those student cheerers in action, shot over the last five weeks during the MHSAA tour of finalists' schools.
The contest is sponsored by the MHSAA Student Advisory Council, and the winner will be decided by a combination of SAC and public vote. You must be a member of Facebook and "like" the MHSAA page to take part.
The champion will be announced Friday on Second Half. Video of all five finalists will be compiled and shown on the main scoreboard during the Girls and Boys Basketball Finals in March at Michigan State's Breslin Student Events Center.
And now, the finalists, in alphabetical order:
