The List
7. Emma Squires, Petoskey
- Emma has an already had a standout career in XC, but then she had to shock the world by running 10:42 this winter
- Times like that shouldn’t surprise anyone, after all, she’s improved through every season, spring or fall
- The Petoskey girls began to make a name for themselves in late 2018 and haven’t looked back– Squires is the leading force in this
- Her 18:15 at 2018’s Northern Michigan was the breakthrough; she has been at that level since
- Accomplishments include: Regional Champ (2018), 3rd at Portage (2019), and Twice Top-10 in Division 2
7. Jack Kelke, Romeo
- The torch has been passed – from Brenden Allen to Jack Wilson, now to Jack Kelke
- Kelke has some great bloodlines, I believe his father ran for Macomb CC
- He showed the talent from those genetics as a freshman, breaking 17:00 in late October
- But his inclusion high up on this list is because of his development into 2019, the equivalent of more than a minute drop across the board
- He went from 36th to 3rd at Regionals, 22nd to 3rd at MAC Division, and 172nd to 33rd at State Finals
- Romeo’s team success will depend on Fringer, Sharnas, and Wallace, but having leaders such as Jack doesn’t hurt either
