The question in the summer was – how much would the addition of Jackson Rodriguez and Ian Palacios impact The Potter’s House, and would that impact be enough for a state title? Ian, coming back from injury and Jackson, fully committed to XC after an excellent track season, were welcome additions to the duo of Lezawe Osterink (the defending state champion) and Logan Swiney (a 2x all-stater in his own right).
Their title campaign started off with a banger of an opener, crushing a field of D1 and D2 teams at Under the Lights. Placing five runners under 17:10, the question shifted from a shot at the title to a shot at the all-time low point total. Undaunted by those lofty expectations, the Pumas still went about their business, capturing titles at Allendale Falcon, Portage, the Alliance League, and Region 31 before last week’s fateful day.
With such a heavy favorite occupying the top spot, attention shifted towards the battle for the other podium spot. In the Region 28 preview, I had remarked about how Petoskey St. Michael would need to add numbers to establish a contender, and boy did they ever find some athletes. The Guardians always find a few, this season it was two freshmen, Lynus Cadarette and Cody Bradley, both of whom were able to find sub-18 marks by the end of the year.
Early in the fall, it appeared as if St. Michael and Johannesburg-Lewiston were on a collision course for altercations at Regionals and State. That thought was based on Johannesburg bringing a full squad. As the year wore on, the injury bug found its way to the Cardinals, both Malaki Gascho and Ronin Vaden missing many mid-season meets. With COVID wrecking their title chances in 2021, Coach Marcum’s squad could have given up and folded, but they were determined to not let that happen, finally pulling together a complete squad at Region 28. After St. Michael took victory between the two squads at Portage, Johannesburg captured the Regional trophy, and we were all set for a state showdown.

WANTING IT MORE IN DIVISION FOUR
Ian Palacios, The Potter’s House: This was Ian’s second trip to MIS, his efforts two years apart. As a freshman, he placed 80th, running well above his season best. His junior year, 11th, nearly matching his effort from Under the Lights. He’s absorbed much adversity, both missing his sophomore year and missing considerable time throughout this September and October, but battled back to help the Pumas grab the all-time lowest point total in Division 4 history.
Malaki Gascho, Johannesburg-Lewiston: Like Palacios, Malaki missed quite a bit of time throughout the season. After sitting out over two months’ worth of races, he finally started his comeback at Region 28, placing 8th in 17:22. At State, a patient strategy paid off. Ki was 5:44 at the mile, 94th place. Over the final 3400 meters, he moved up 65 places, nabbing that second to last All-State spot, a great contributor to the Cardinals obtaining the second place trophy.
Adair Artis, Concord: The Yellowjacket senior has seen improvement each and every year. 18:42 to 18:11, 17:06 to 16:29. Those last two years have resulted in a guy that has accomplished two All-States and a Regional Championship.
Reece Poole, Hillsdale Academy: What a leap from his freshman to sophomore year. Just last year, Reece was barely under 19:00 and wasn’t part of the Chargers’ state outfit. This time around, under 17:00 for the first time ever and 13th place.
Evan Suydam, Petersburg-Summerfield: Ever since his 24th place finish at 2021’s State Finals, Evan has been a consistent figure for the Bulldogs. His senior year brought about many honors – another All-Region selection, another top-5 finish in the TCC, and best yet, another All-State medal.
Cameron Griffin, Whitmore Lake: Of the 249 competitors in the first race of the day, only 13 crossed the line in a SR or PR, Cameron being one of them. The Whitmore Lake junior gave us a season full of ups and downs, 17:2x performances mixed in with 20:00+ efforts. But he brought it on the big day, helping his Trojans grab a 6th place finish.
