Mike Miklusicak, a 2014 graduate of Wayland High School, gained 210 yards on 20 carries Saturday for Hope College in the Flying Dutch’s 52-23 victory over MIAA rival Alma.
The ground total moved his career mark to more than 2,000 yards, making him only the 10th running back in Hope College history to achieve that milestone. He now has 2,062.
Miklusicak is a first-year senior who had to sit out all of last year with an injury.
As a Wayland star running back, he led the ‘Cats in rushing during their last playoff season in the fall of 2013.
Hope now is 6-2 on the season.
Mike is a very nice young man. Good parents, too. Congratulations.
Outstanding effort from a dynamic, determined young man! Congratulations on the tremendous accomplishment.
