50 Tickets to Brooklyn (#37)

The List.

37. Julia Finley, Belding

Again, the well-detailed and always informative (Coach) John Carlson, offered this:

• Went from 22:36 her first race to 18:39 PR at regionals at Uncle John’s Cider Mill
• Took first place 5x in 2020
• Set a PR by 36 seconds and broke 19 at Benzie Central
• Broke 19:00 5x
• PRed this season by 55 seconds
• Improved from 79th to 23rd at finals and dropped 69 seconds (finished 3 seconds out of the top 15)
• Loves to go to the front and race to win

37. Jamin Thompson, Caledonia

• Seemingly every athlete featured lately has a level of stability and Jamin is no different, staying under 17:00 the entire season
• That strength early resulted in some notable accomplishments, 3^rd at Spartan and 1^st at Otsego
• Josh Oom and Thompson will likely be one of the better duos in Division 1, or at least, Caledonia will have one of the better 2^nd runners in the division
• Career-wise, Jamin has notched a few honors as well, twice top-5 in his region and twice top-3 in the OK Red
