The Great D4 Debate. Concord vs. Hillsdale Academy.

Where: Ella Sharp Park, Jackson.

The Course: Absolutely love this course. Great for spectators, adore the cute wooden course map, and it’s a fast one for runners. Tight turns, rolling, but gradual downhills. About as fair as you’ll get, though my guess is it’s a bit fast compared to other courses this weekend.

What to Watch For: Concord vs. Hillsdale Academy. Hillsdale opened the season with a statement at Holly, Concord returned the favor at Portage. Hillsdale added an 8th grader last week for some depth, but Concord continues to close in. The Yellowjackets are projected to win here, but may dip a little lower at MIS unless a 5th runner emerges. Izzy Freakin’ Brooks took charge over at the Lenawee County Championship to procure her first ever win. We love those championship moments. Can she repeat the feat here at Regionals?
