2022 Mid-Season Regional Projections – Huron Meadows

REGION 26

SUMMER PREVIEW

• Algonac.. Algonac?
  • Junior David Clemons is back after missing his sophomore year, the new version of him better than ever
  • He’s broken 19:00 twice, most recently a gigantic personal best at Goodells
  • Two of the Muskrat freshmen – Julian Walker and Owen Benidit are performing as to expectations, Jack Reyes is right outside of the projected top-20, but the key additions are David and Griffin Melrose
• The Dansville score may look similar from July until now, looking deeper, I missed a key addition
  • Sammy Schmidt returns, also after a year hiatus
  • He picks up where he left off in 2020, where he closed the season with a 17:56 at Sharp Park
    • In 2022, he’s been sub-18 in four of his six competitions
• Since the teams match almost exactly what I had written a few months ago, let’s note two individuals that are having landmark seasons thus far
  • Carmellina Biafora of Bishop Foley slipped under 22:00 for the first time ever at the first CHSL Jamboree, her 4^th placing there by far her best finish in a league event
  • Rebekah Hallock has been dropping minutes in almost every instance, starting with a 25:00 at Corunna, trending downwards to a 22:07 at that old Carson City course

REGION 4

SUMMER PREVIEW

• Ran into a few Ann Arbor Skyline folks at Jackson and my message to them there is the same that I’m writing here – this is the best top four in the State
  • I don’t even care what my numbers say, four under 16:07 at Sharp Park is unreal
  • The question that’ll be ringing in the Eagles ears will be – can they find a fifth?
    • Paul MInock and Aidan Hale both have progressed throughout the year, both are capable of sub-17 on the right day
• As of this writing now, Brighton’s 4^th-7^th loom large and will work as displacers
  • Watch out for Tyler Brock as one of them, he’s been near the 18:00 mark for the past few weeks, though a deeper dive reveals some gnarly courses – Mt. Brighton, Possum Hollow, Forest Akers on a hot day
• Far and away, Dexter is the team of the region, at least in terms of how much they’ve surprised relative to the August writeup
  • A few Dreadnaughts that have stood out for these first five weeks have been Annabel O’Haver and Caleb Snyder
  • Caleb had a pretty darn good freshman year, one you can build upon, and that’s exactly what he’s done
    • Caleb’s last three races have gone 18:08, 17:37, 16:55, indicating he’s found a wave of confidence, I’m curious how far he keeps going
  • In Annabel’s case, you can just compare places between years
    • Her best SEC finish in 2021? 27^th at the 2^nd Jamboree. 2022? 20^th at the first Jamboree
    • Jackson? 47^th in 2021, 17^th in 2022
    • That Jackson race was easily the best of her career, smashing through the 20:00 mark with a 19:14
