IT’S WORD EATIN’ SEASON

Where: St. Francis Retreat Center, DeWitt

The Course: From what I understand, this is a roller. From the course map, I see many turns. Early in the year, this rated out as pretty hard. For comparison (at least to us Metro Detroiters), it appeared a few seconds faster than Kensington or Cass Benton, which should land it among the tougher regionals. That being said, I feel that Lani can get after the course record if she so desires.

What to Watch For: Look for the 5th girls of both Lansing Catholic and Ithaca. Both teams are exceptional at the front, LC through 4, Ithaca through 3. Both of their 5th girls have shown signs of breakthrough and could hold the key to MIS glory.

Pewamo-Westphalia’s Pirate Girl Pack. They’re strong through all seven runners. That doesn’t have as much impact in a regional field, but if they can get on the right side of the bubble in Brooklyn, watch out.

Espen Lehnst. Won his first race last week and has been turning it on as of late. Harbors hopes of getting into the Top 10 by State and a huge performance here would help his cause.

I’m curious who steps it up as an individual for the girls – I’ll be honest that I don’t know much about the teams beyond the Top 3.

Carson Brunk has something to prove. When he’s on, he’s been a Top 10 caliber runner. That’s occurred a few times this season. He might be holding back in his other races, which doesn’t help in a rating sense, but 100% helps in a resting your body for championship season sense. We’ll see what he can unleash.

Projected Individual Qualifier Cutoff: Ah, a little more useful in this region. Top heavy for the individuals, so I have the cutoff at 24th.
