Can Petoskey double up?

Where: Chippewa Hills HS, Remus

The Course: The Course: Groomed and blowdozed to perfection. From what I hear, it’s a true cross country course. Hills, woods, trails, fields. It ran a little fast last weekend, but my intuition tells me that was a bit off. I’d expect this to be one of the tougher regional courses. Be on the lookout for Coach O’Neil’s new book, “Zen and the Art of Cross Country Course Maintenance”.

What to Watch For: Is Fremont here to spoil Petoskey’s party? They’ve been ascending (or descending, you can use either verb) as the season has wore on. In the last two weeks, Conor Somers has had his two best races of the year. They’re finding new newcomers and the Schulers have been consistent all along. But Petoskey took a hit at Spartan and have gradually been finding their way back here.

The difference between Benzie and Chippewa Hills. I’m curious to see how teams used to a burner will adjust to a tougher course. On the contrary, I’m not worried about Fremont in that regard.

The girls individual battle. Storey, Vanderwall, Schopieray all have the ability to win this. Does the home course advantage help?

I’ve been very impressed by Sparta’s boys this year. They absorbed the loss of what could have been a key piece and I think it may have made them even more resilient.

Projected Individual Qualifier Cutoff: Depends if Sparta or Ludington qualifies. If Sparta, it’ll be further back, if Ludington, probably further forward. Sounding like a broken record at this point, but top 15 is a guarantee.
