About Us

Many timing sites forget to tell you who they are — we don’t want that to happen. We have several key members of our organization who handle most of your event management and arrange for your timing services. We also act as dealers of IPICO and FinishLynx Timing products. We are also Hytek certified timers. 264_13_SPRT.END_HytekBannerUpdate_150x82_Arev

Eliot Borst

Eliot joined our team in 2017-2018 track season, but became a trusted timer. With head timer at the MHSAA D1 and Horizon League Championships credentials during his first season, he has shown the ability to handle high level competition as well as complicated multi-camera sets. His easygoing personality is a nice counter-balance to a couple of our other timers who can seem tightly wound, but don’t let his fantastic demeanor fool you — he is sharp, quick and accurate — he is just hard to rattle.

Mark and Lisa Werley

Mark and Lisa are a husband/wife team, both retired from full-time employment in the Zeeland Public School System. The pace of the MichianaTiming.com LLC Team fits with their current desire to work like crazy in several month batches, followed by the resulting opportunity to visit grand kids in Texas and Arizona. Mark has years of handling and organizing big events, having been the D2 MHSAA Track and Field Meet Manager a number of times. Mark and Lisa are proficient track and field, road race and cross country timers having handled large invites, MHSAA regional cross country and track, MITCA D4 Championships and the MHSAA D4 Championships, to name a few.

She has worked at brittanymany championship level meets over the past number of years. Brittany often assists with pre-event planning and race day rapid registration.
