This is a list compiled by Coach Masters and Lew Horn (previous BHS track coach) of the top 10 individuals for each event over the years. Also included are the school records for the relays and MHSAA All State Performers. We continue to hear from graduates in regards to possible errors and or omissions from this list. We are appreciative of your interest in making this list as accurate as possible. If there is adequate documentation made available for review, we will update the list accordingly. Times from official post season events are also eligible. Nine new entries from the 2009 season are included.
