Tyler describes himself in one word: prudent. Known for his dedication in athletics, he says he will likely be remembered most for his commitment to track and field. One of his proudest accomplishments was qualifying for the state track meet, a milestone that reflects the time and effort he has invested in the sport.
One of Tyler’s favorite high school memories was competing on the 4x800 relay team during his freshman year in 2023, an experience that helped shape his passion for running and teamwork.
Outside of the classroom, Tyler enjoys running, gaming, watching and playing basketball and football, and competing in track and field. His favorite class is math, which he enjoys because it comes naturally to him and connects with his interest in data science.
Tyler says the person he most admires is LeBron James, whose work ethic and success both on and off the court have made him a role model. His favorite teacher and coach is Mr. Kopff, whom Tyler describes as “a cool, genuine dude and a good coach.”
If Tyler had a theme song that played every time he walked into a room, it would be “The Man” by Aloe Blacc.
Tyler looks forward to continuing both his academic and athletic career at UND.

Keegan describes himself in one word: attitude. He enjoys football, track and field, and spending time outdoors. His favorite quote, “Your mind quits before your body does,” reflects the mindset that pushed him to improve in track and field, where he is most proud of being recognized as Most Improved.
One of Keegan’s favorite high school memories was his sophomore year football game in Gwinner, when his team defeated the number one team in the state. Outside of school, he enjoys sports, video games, hunting, fishing, and spending time with friends and family.
Keegan says the person he admires most is his Grandpa Tom, who has always been there with advice and support. He also credits Mr. Larson as a favorite teacher because of the easygoing conversations and sense of humor they share.
If a song played every time Keegan walked into a room, it would be “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. When he graduates from DPHS, Keegan jokes he’ll probably be remembered for “always being hurt,” given his history of sports injuries.
