The series of Flight Hankamp Open Runs recently traveled to Lake Michigan College. The school was gracious enough to host the event at their gym, making the run a high intensity and high pressure event. First, let me say that all the players showed up and showed out. Every single athlete impressed the onlookers in various ways.
These were the participants in this Flight Hankamp Open Run:

The Most Outstanding Player was very tough to name, considering all of the great play that we witnessed at Lake Michigan College. That being said, we chose <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="230786" first="Bridget" last="Crombie"] </strong>as the MOP. She’s a skilled forward in the class of 2023.
<b>Crombie </b>impressed in so many different facets of the game in the Flight Hankamp Open Run at Lake Michigan College.

She also showed versatility on defense, defending in the paint as well as on the perimeter.
