Mitch Klingler, a graduate of Albion College in 2014 from Jackson, MI, has been immersed in the world of running for the better part of his life. His dedication to the sport, disciplined training regimen, unwavering family support, and a genuine passion for running have been the driving forces behind his achievements, both as a student-athlete at Albion and in his post-collegiate career as a marathon runner.

From his first moments at Albion, Tyler Hood, ’21, felt at home. For his first campus visit, he stayed overnight at a fraternity house and was immediately impressed.

The nearly 60-person gathering earlier this fall included the dedication of a memorial bench at the Davis Athletic Complex.

Maddie Darby, ’20, can’t even remember a time when she wasn’t on skis. Or on a horse. “I’ve always enjoyed it and I like them both for different reasons,” she said. “When I’m riding, I’m usually working toward a competition. When I’m skiing, I’m just relaxing, going down a hill and having a good time.” They may seem like separate and mutually exclusive activities that require very different skills, but not for Darby. To her, there is not one without the other.
