50 Tickets to Brooklyn: #46

I love to spin a tale of remarkable improvement, but Griffin has just been remarkably good his whole career
He reached great heights as a freshman, slipping into the 16’s late at Regionals
He hit his first state qualifier as a sophomore, along with an All-Oakland County finish
Then as a junior, finished higher at Regionals, higher at State, and higher at County
One might see his personal best “only” improve by 27 seconds across the three years, but his accomplishments as a junior far outweigh those as a freshman, and when you finish Top-10 at the toughest county meet in the country, you’re doing damn well
In track, he’s been able to display some serious strength, having run multiple sub-10 efforts in the 3200m despite a 1600m best of 4:40
He’s been a near qualifier in that 32, hopefully 2023’s spring season can be the breakthrough

Speaking of remarkably good, how does three for three on the All-State podium sound?
No matter the division, no matter the year, Hannah always shows up when it counts
Her career is littered with outstanding performances, but I think 2021 contained the best of the bunch, back-to-back 18:35’s at Cadillac and Shepherd, followed up by 18:48 at Portage on a tougher course
Hannah has many accolades on the cross course, but track is where she truly shines, a true mid-distance girl
She showed that prowess in her initial track season, grabbing 12^th in the 400 at D2 State
Then as a junior, smashed the 60 sec. barrier late in the year on her way to a 3^rd place finish at D3 State

And for the first time ever, you get video footage! Look at those wheels!

Apologies to P-W, that’s just a great anchor leg
