The Tippecanoe Athletic Department would like to recognize Luke Schwietermen as the male athlete of the week. Luke is a senior captain on the varsity cross country team. Coach Lieber shared that Luke ran a clutch race at the MVL Championship, finishing 4th with a personal-best time of 16:30. His performance was critical in helping our team secure the MVL title, as his effort broke up a strong pack of Troy runners. Luke truly embodies our team’s core values—Effort, Teamwork, and Attitude—every single day. Whether he’s organizing team stretches, motivating younger runners through tough workouts, or checking in on a teammate who’s struggling, Luke constantly puts others before himself. His leadership isn’t loud or boastful; it’s steady, thoughtful, and deeply respected. Our younger athletes look up to him not because he tells them what to do, but because he shows them what’s possible when you do things the right way.
Great Job Luke! Keep up the great work! Good luck at Districts.
Tipp Pride!!!
