The plan is to go through these regionals in the same order that they were posted. Friday first, starting with regions with less divisions, working towards those with more.
They’ll be a basic show of the ratings and a runner that stepped up. I plan on working back on regional recaps after the season, I always love showcasing success and there will be ample opportunity (and the real factor – time) to do so. Those recaps will feature more teams and individuals.
If you’re a senior (or are a parent/coach of one) that qualified for State, send me a pic of you in your uniform, either running or not running. I want to use those pics in my State Finals graphics. Those that I don’t use in the graphics, I’ll use in the recap.


How Are Speed Ratings Calculated?!
Region 28 Preview
Region 19 Preview
28 Girls Adjustment: +42
19 Girls Adjustment: +50
28 Boys Adjustment: +35
19 Boys Adjustment: +28
People have been clamoring for me to rate different races or divisions on the same course, same day. I agree with this notion as the course can change and so can the weather conditions. It does produce a bit more variability in ratings when you’re working with a smaller sample, but I feel it’s applicable for regionals this year. And since I have the time to do so, I’ll do so here. Some don’t make as much sense, but you have to understand there’s a range of error with each listing. The smaller the race, the higher that range. You’ll see that here, but I believe the change throughout the day will make sense.
PRIMETIME PERFORMERS
Madalyn Agren, Johannesburg-Lewiston: Johannesburg-Lewiston doesn’t just have a boys team, they’re darn impressive on the girls side as well. The Gaschos, Natalie Zochowski are always there, now Madalyn has begun to enter the fray. 20:45 and 3rd place, 10 spots ahead of where she was last year.
Ava Pomaranski, Traverse City St. Francis: There’s a reason St. Francis is always dominant in the Northern Michigan D3 scene (heck, they’re pretty good in the whole scene). Athletes such as Ava raise their performance level on regional day. She busted out a 20:29 here, a far cry from the 22’s she was running early in the year. Two consecutive top-15 regional efforts for this girl.
Samuel Ford, Fairview: I’m here for the HUGE PB’s. Through 17 5k races in his career, Sam had barely scraped under the 19:00 barrier twice. At East Jordan, he nearly broke 18:00.
Charlie Ward, Elk Rapids: Going into the race, it appeared Elk Rapids was in a tight knit competition for the third spot. To play his role and contribute to a MIS berth, Charlie would need to stay ahead of Kalkaska’s #2 and perhaps beat Harbor Springs #2. He beat ‘em both and although it wasn’t enough, he more than played his part.
