Zeeland West junior Danny Bauder was the 2012 O-K Green champion in both the 100 and 200 meters. So with those track bonafides, it wasn’t too surprising he blew away the field in the 40-yard dash at the Lake Michigan Football Report Combine held March 17 in Grand Rapids. He twice finished in 4.4 seconds, two-tenths ahead of the next fastest. Bauder the football player? Last fall he was a reserve running back for the Dux behind the potent triumvirate of Marcus Lambert, Jon Pung and Braden Werley. But he showed just how talented he was in Zeeland West’s playoff loss to state champion Grand Rapids Christian, when he ran 11 times for 159 yards, including TDs of 31, 73 and 23 yards.
