To see how your team has been ranked over the course of the season, hit the links below:

Week Three
Week Five
Week Seven

At the bottom, I’ve added some individual rankings. For Jumps and Vault, this wasn’t really a thing, but for everything else, it can be. With some exceptions of studs such as Annabelle Densmore, hurdlers are doing both the high and low hurdles. It just naturally follows that a guy like me who wants to analyze stats a bit deeper would want to know who is the best hurdler over the course of the year. Scroll to the end and find out!

HURDLERS OF THE YEAR

As always, check out Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org for the OFFICIAL lists and rankings for each individual event. Jeff’s lists stand up to scrutiny, because for a historical record, a mark must be wind-legal and verifiable. These here rely on athletic.net and do not exclude if no wind gauge is present. My rankings are more of a fun exercise as everyone doesn’t have access to a wind gauge (but how do you not have one as a track coach?). Each set of rankings have their purpose.

The individual rankings are scored in the same format as the team rankings, with scores corresponding to times from each individual event. These scores were calculated based on the national lists from the 2022 season. Here is the table for each event.
