INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

For the individual rankings, I decided to use an athletes’ top-two events. There are some girls with range across the board, excelling in all three, but commonly someone will pick two distance events in which to concentrate. I wasn’t going to penalize someone for skipping the 3200m all year or knowing they didn’t have the requisite speed and bowing out of 800m training.

Check out the chart here to see how times match up to scores, those scores formulated by looking at the national lists for the 2022 season.

As always, check out Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org for the official lists for each event. Give him a few days to process everything from this incredible season, as many of our great athletes have hit marks that will stand the test of time.

Rachel Forsyth, Ann Arbor Pioneer

It’s taken awhile, but she captured her first individual MHSAA titles on the track just a few weeks ago. After getting her bearings during indoor, Rachel kicked it up notch by notch as the season wore on, eventually ending on a 4:41 full mile to place 6th at New Balance.

Jessica Jazwinski, Hart

Huge contributor to the Pirates state title team, contributing 24 points on her own and taking part in 5 more as a part of the 4×8. A week later, competing for herself individually, she rocked a 4:49 full mile.

Madison Osterberg, Jackson Lumen Christi

Opened some new horizons and expanded on the great traits she already had. The mid-distance specialist blasted her previous personal best at MITCA, her 2:08.87 ranking her #11 all-time in Michigan. A week earlier, she used the fear of her kick to make the final move en route to a victory in the D3 1600m.

Anna Delgado, East Lansing

Finished what she started way back in September. Before an injury derailed her senior cross season, Ann was on track to be a force in Division 1. Come June, she was that force and more, giving Rachel Forsyth all she could handle in the 1600m, then doubling back and outlasting the field in the 3200m.

Selma Anderson, Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills

Had arguably the greatest improvement of anyone in this top-10. The event where she dropped the least amount of time was the 1600m, where Selma “only” placed 4th in Division 1. All in all, she was great across the board, registering top-10 marks in the 800m – 3200m. Perhaps Jeff Hollobaugh knows, but I gotta imagine she’s one part of the fastest brother/sister combo in the same year in any distance event.

Aiden Harrand, Buckley

Raw talent beginning to show its way forward. Had one of the greater triples of the year in the early season, running 2:11/4:53/10:54 at Reed City. But she’s not all about times, this girl wins. Came through in cross and captured the distance triple on a scorcher of a day.

Annika Sandman, Lowell

An eight lap grinder, Annika reeled off seven straight sub-11’s to close the season. On State Finals day, she was unable to hang in there late, but I’m betting that disappointment played a major role in her success two weeks later. That success came in the form of an All-American honor, where she placed 4th in the New Balance 5000m.

Lucy Cook, Rochester

Undefeated as an individual until State, where she placed 8th in the 1600m. But in context, that 8th is a bit more impressive considering it was hours after her 2:14 800m split that helped her Falcons grab 4th in Division 1. This past weekend, she flashed that speed once more, closing in 68 at the end of her 10:26 3200m.

Taylor Pangburn, Grand Ledge

Talk about coming through on the big day, Taylor has done it two years in a row. In 2022, Taylor dropped a second from her previous best to grab 7th in the 800m. A year later, she broke 4:50 for the first time ever, accelerating on the home straight to place 3rd in the 1600m.

Arianne Olson, Holland West Ottawa

Senior year of track capped off a career full of honors, accomplishments, and memories. It was her third straight year in the top-2 of the 3200m. Altogether, 10 All-States in XC and track as an individual, a team state title on the grass, and an individual title of her own.
