Highest Rated Seniors

• Coleman Clark, Carson City-Crystal

Coleman has been on the precipice of breaking 16:00 the past two years and I’m betting this is the year he breaks through.  Two-time regional champ at Shepherd, finished 5^th and 2^nd at State the past two years.

• Caleb Rivers, Morrice

Has been top-10 at this regional all three years of HS.  Finished 2^nd last year.  The 2019 season was full of improvements, including a 16:45 PR and first All-State honor.

• Calvin Clark, Carson City Crystal

Steady improvement has been the formula for Calvin.  Each year, he’s improved by 30-40 seconds on average.  This past season, that culminated in multiple high-17:00 efforts, including an 8^th place regional finish.

Career Achievement

• Owen Doerner, Morrice

Pretty amazing how far Owen has come, even in the course of a season.  For his first two years in HS, Owen flirted with the 20 min. barrier, this past year he broke 18:00.  That regional race led to a 12^th place and his first trip to MIS.

Anyone Else?

• Nathan Lott, Webberville

Profile.

• Braylan Majesky, Whitmore Lake

Followed the same path many freshmen take, starting slow and kicking hard to finish the year.  Still notable, no matter which way you shake it.  Broke 18:00 on a fast day at Gabriel Richard, then repeated that effort in a 15^th place regional finish.

• Liam Wilder, Webberville

One of the faster 8^th graders last year, especially at bigger meets.  4^th at both Carson City and Kayla O’Mara, both in sub-12 fashion.  Freshmen are hard to predict, he could bolt Webberville into the top-3 at State.

Ranked Teams

Lansing Christian (1), Fowler (11)

Highest Rated Seniors

• Madison Volz, Lansing Christian

Three straight top 5 finishes at MIS.  Two straight Regional Titles.  Three consecutive years breaking 19:00.  Madison is the best runner on the best team in Division 4 and has a great chance to repeat her already astounding success.

• Natalie Tebben, Lansing Christian

Natalie showed some incredible improvement in her junior year.  Greater than a minute drops at Greater Lansing and MIS, also her highest regional finish yet (3^rd).

• Molly Dailey, Carson City-Crystal

Although she’s ran at States with her team, last year was her first as an individual qualifier.  Her 21:25 PR at Scottie Classic was almost repeated by her 21:29 (6^th place) regional finish.

Career Achievement

• Leah Wieber, Fowler

Fowler has been a consistent team at the D4 level and runners like Leah are undoubtedly a reason why.  Consistently been in the low 20’s over the 50 races she’s run in their uniform.  Two All-Region performances too.

Anyone Else?

• Ashlyn Kephart, Lansing Christian

As a freshman, progressed down to a 19:54 to end the year.  Dramatic improvement was seen even into late October, where she set a massive PR at the GLAC Championships, that sub-20 at Regionals (2^nd place), and then an All-State performance the following week.

• Brooke Craven, Whitmore Lake

Brooke took almost the identical path to Ashlyn.  She broke into the 20’s at Stockbridge in late September, and put together identically impressive performances to close the season. 4^th at this region and then 28^th at State.

• Hope Tebben, Lansing Christian

Could be the 5^th runner that Lansing Christian needs.  Has been consistently in the 14’s at the middle school level, but always turns it up for Greater Lansing, running under 13:30 the past two years.
