The List
3. Arianne Olson, Holland West Ottawa
- I’ve mentioned that middle school Portage list multiple times, well, Arianne is at the top of it
- And based on her accomplishments this season, one can see the potential she’s working with
- Arianne won almost every race, save two, Spartan and the State Meet
- But Spartan was her highest-rated and we can hardly call losing to the national champion a defeat
- Showed major progress in terms of time throughout the year, lowering her PR down to 17:26 on a true test at Portage
- West Ottawa has been very transparent about their training this past spring, and it was incredible watching her 16:39 5k on the roads
3. Hobbs Kessler, Ann Arbor Skyline
- Hobb’s obvious talent has started to come to fruition in the past training cycles
- As with a few others previously mentioned, spent considerable amount of time in the 15’s in major races
- Stepped up huge from his regional performance, only dropping one (!!!) place at State
- Showed his mid-distance capabilities this winter, narrowly finishing 2nd in the MITS 1600m championship
- Then closed an 8:53 3200m in 4:20 just a few weeks ago
- We’ll see if that speed is realized on the course, but his past results give him a great baseline
