Riley had a sensational freshman year in 2018, finishing All-State and breaking 16:00 late in October
In terms of progress, that doesn’t always carry over to the next year, but he was able to drop significant time
And given that, we can expect to see more development
Riley was able to lower his PR from 15:39 to 15:09 (on Portage, a legitimately fair track)
He’s been the lead guy on Hartland for a few years now, a team looking to bust into the top-10 at MIS
He’s been very accomplished, especially in the championship season, racking up All-Conference, All-Region, and All-State honors in each of his first two years in high school
2. Audrey DaDamio, Birmingham Seaholm
Audrey has been on the track to greatness since her freshman year
She showed her potential early, nearly breaking 19:00 that year, and has been steadily improving since
That improvement culminated with a 18th place finish at FootLocker this past fall
She’s one of three returning FootLocker qualifiers (I think you can guess who the top boys and girls are)
Her season in Michigan wasn’t too shabby either – Oakland County Champ, OAA Red Champ, All-State, and numerous sub-18 performances
She continued that improvement into the 2020 indoor season, setting PRs in both the 1600m and 3200m (4:52/10:24)
