Joe is another example of the emphasis on year to year progress
He was above 18:00 as a freshman, ran into the 17’s as a sophomore, and then had his breakout in 2019
Saline has always been transparent with the work their athletes are putting in, and if you dig back into last summer, Joe had plenty of time on his feet
Which resulted in opening with his first foray into the 16’s
That continued into October, with multiple sub-16:10’s
And if you take a glance at the summer work ethic, he is once again hitting the roads with major volume
24. Londyn Swenson, Plymouth
Funny how we see so many duos in this list, but Londyn and another Plymouth girl are another two that will be at the front of many races this season
Jumping off an already impressive freshman year, she’s racked up a few accomplishments the past two years
Twice top-3 in Wayne County
Twice All-Region
Twice top-5 in the KLAA
All-State this past year
That All-State was an especially great performance, other Plymouth runners may have struggled, but she matched her regional time in much, much tougher conditions
Plymouth will be a great team this fall and having Londyn as one of the better #2 runners in the state is a major help
