2022 Ratings: Division 3 Boys State Finals

Yes, I’m alive. Turns out I needed much more of a break after the season than I had anticipated. I’ll be mixing these in with some winter projects (think: history, a new way of doing track rankings, and already laying the foundation for next year so I’m not burning the candle at both ends).

Team Scores through each mile

RUNNIN’ FREE IN DIVISION THREE

Hunter Jones, Benzie Central: One thing to love about Hunter is despite all the national titles, All-American finishes, coast to coast publicity, he always brings his best efforts for the state level. In November, that was the best time on the MIS course since the days of Dathan, a 14:46 that would’ve surely been faster if not for the windy conditions (there will be more on this later in the winter). All in all, Hunter closed his regular season CAREER undefeated amongst D3 competition in Michigan. After his final victory lap at MIS, he went on to win the Regional Championships at both Champs Sports and NXR, then placing 10th in each respective national meet.

Seth Ackley, Hart: Throughout his first three years, Seth had been a low-17 guy, a solid contributor on a perennial contender. As his Pirates rose into the top spot in the state this fall, so did Seth’s fortunes. Ten of his sixteen regular season efforts were of the sub-17 variety, including a lifetime best here that was good enough for 12th place. And more importantly, helping his team hoist a championship trophy.

Jaden Barnes, Bloomingdale: In the fall of ’21, Jaden emerged as a name to watch in Division 3. He proved his worth in those State Finals, placing 14th in what was then a personal best of 16:25. Barnes built on that success during the fall, notching many similar efforts, even dropping into the 15’s with a SW10 championship. And here in early November, grabbed his second All-State honor.

Cameron Pierce, Leslie: With quick times in each of his three high school seasons, Cameron had already established his legacy at Leslie. His senior year more than cemented that legacy. He swept all the GLAC conference meets, resulting in a league championship. His second-place finish at the Sharp Park Regional led to his third consecutive State Finals appearance. His finals effort of 16:37 gave Cameron his first podium finish at MIS.

Landon Pestrue, St. Louis: The Sharks’ steady rise up the D3 ranks (a yearly occurrence at this point) was helped in a major way by Pestrue. Late in his freshman year, Landon dipped into the 17’s and was able to find that mark early in 2022. Those St. Louis boys almost never settle for early season success, Landon one in a tradition of many that run their best to close the season. His 16:37 at MIS was a 14 second personal best and 40+ place improvement from 2021. By my pre-meet calculations, Landon came into MIS with a 3% chance of attaining a podium spot – he impressed in a major way.

Logan Weis, Centreville: Coming into state weekend, Logan was a guy right on the cusp. He had a few notable efforts, namely a 16:01 in a second place SW10 finish (behind Barnes), but also a few slower efforts. One major indicator of his November success was a 16:39 at Portage, placing 15th in that loaded field. His 25th place finish at the speedway was right on that time, capping a senior year that saw him lower his personal best by nearly 2 whole minutes.
