Emily is probably the only girl to finish higher in her Region (10th) than in the State Meet (8th)
After adjusting for heat, the course, and what not, her performance at MIS rated out to be almost 30 seconds better than any previous race
It’s not as if the performance came out of nowhere – she had run in the low 19’s a few times throughout the season and was an outstanding middle school athlete
Her track season didn’t have the same breakout performance but was very consistent
She had multiple sub-5:20/11:40 efforts, indicating a bit of improvement from her average cross times
Has a chance to cement his legacy as one of the better Muskegon area runners of all time
Klay has dominated the GMAA scene for the past 2 years, winning two cross titles and the distance triple this past track season
After a solid freshman cross campaign, he exhibited some speed in track, breaking 2:00 late into that year
Following the two year track hiatus, he was able to improve upon that mark, reaching 1:57.5
His local success hasn’t translated into All-States, but honors like those are usually heavily senior driven, he’s definitely in the conversation for this fall and next spring
