50 Tickets to Brooklyn (#30)

The List

30. Drew Seabase, Traverse City Central

• Drew has long been one of the better runners for his grade, his freshman year he was slightly hidden behind the Smith brothers of Alpena, now he’s vying for his 3^rd straight All-State
• When you’re that good that early, it’s tough to see that year to year progress, but Drew has had time drops in each of his last two years
• Winner of the prestigious Northern Michigan Championship in 2019 and has finished top-10 there all three years
• Three-time state qualifier
• Traverse City Central is always a top program, this year no different, he and Venhuizen will be needed to get low points up front

30. Cookie Baugh, Ann Arbor Pioneer

• A big factor in ranking high here is steadiness, no subpar races, and Cookie is a prime example
• Her lone poor races were a hot day at Jackson, finishing 10^th, and a 5^th place finish at the SEC Championship
• Her best races helped Pioneer win a Regional title and a State title
• She had tremendous improvement in more than one area
  • Ratings, approximately a 0:45 drop on average
  • Durability, she competed all year in 2019, her previous season was cut short
  • Her personal best, going from 19:11 to 18:39
• Along with a runner to be named later, contributes to another great duo that will be important to Pioneer’s bid for a repeat
