DISTANCE RUNNERS OF THE YEAR

For the individual rankings, I decided to use an athletes’ top-two events. There are some boys 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. The individual events contain marks listed on athletic.net at the end of the day Sunday.

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.

Benne Anderson, Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills

Year in, year out, Ottawa Hills produces runners ready to hit the college scene rolling. Benne has definitely been on a tear, a long one extending back to November. His state title in cross led to appearances and high finishes at NXN and CHAMPS. This spring, he dominated the elite races with wins at GR Elite and Shepherd. In the OK Gold Championship, he made a serious run at the 4 min. barrier, falling just short in a victory. Name any event and his prowess shines through, his 1:49 is a state leading time, his 8:40.9 3200m was closed in 27.7, and he won a state title in the 1600m. With his light racing schedule and rapid rise, the future looks very bright.

Hunter Jones, Benzie Central

Absorbing the lessons from the defeats at the past two Division 3 Finals, Hunter finally conquered a goal that had been gnawing at him for a bit, winning the distance triple. And with those 30 points (plus a contribution in the 4×8), he was a major help in bringing home a team trophy for the Huskies. A great cap on an historic career.

Seth Norder, Grand Haven

The patience paid off. After three second place finishes, two in the closing stretch, Seth outlasted the 3200m field at Division 1 State to capture his first state title. Earlier in the day, he closed in the low-1:50’s to bring home the silver for his Bucs squad. Other than winning, he showed tremendous growth, especially in the 3200m where his 8:46 ranks #3 amongst juniors in the entire nation.

Thomas Westphal, Anchor Bay

His attitude expressed in the 1600m at Division 1 State greatly encapsulates his junior year. Tom is not afraid of any challenge. On the grass, that was setting torrential paces and daring anyone to run with him, on the track it was more of the same. That attitude resulted in wins at the Barnyard, Macomb County, Region 10, and the MAC Red. And it surely had a part in his sub-9 at Shepherd.

Brendan Herger, Northville

Huge part of the national and state champion 4×8 squad for Northville. To win the national title, his split was under 1:50, looking effortless but surely putting it all on the line. Competing for the Mustangs, he won all but one race the entire year, grabbing KLAA and Region 6 titles in the 800m and 1600m.

Trent McFarland, Utica

Back to back 800m titles for Trent. Surprisingly, the race played out in the exact same fashion as 2022, but I’m guessing McFarland had something to do with that, strategically navigating through the first 500m before putting himself in position to unleash his devastating kick. Didn’t only excel in the mid-distance either, as he ended up dropping his 3200m best by 16 seconds and ran a 4:13 indoors.

Michael Hegarty, Dearborn Divine Child

In my mind, has always been a grinder, an endurance specialist. This spring, Mike did great work to expand his repertoire and nail down his specialty. He was one of five Michiganders to dip under 9:00 for the 3200m and he dropped his 1600m best from 4:18 to 4:14. With those improvements came CHSL Bishop titles in the 1600m and 3200m, a Wayne County title in the 800m, and two All-State honors.

Nolan Clark, Grand Haven

After missing a majority of the cross country season, Nolan had a nice comeback season. He set PB’s in all three distance events. In the 3200m, he claimed an OK Red title, in the 800m he was a teammate on a squad finishing 2^nd in Division 1.

Aiden Sullivan, Forest Hills Eastern

Another one flashing back to back 800m titles, claiming the title in the finishing stretch as well. Aiden’s 1:53.9 to win Division 2 State wasn’t his fastest time ever, but it may have been his gutsiest, as I believe he was under the weather that week. He’s not just a distance runner either, as he slipped under 50 seconds to win the OK Gold 400m. With him and Trent heading to Michigan next year, the Maize n’ Blue have a great chance at continuing that mid-distance tradition.

Solomon Kwartowitz, Cranbrook-Kingswood

Showed promise as a sophomore when he quietly ran a 9:22. Capitalized on that promise as a junior with personal bests across the board. Nearly broke 9:00 in the 3200m in a historic race at Shepherd, placed 2^nd in Oakland County’s 1600m, and claimed regional titles in the 1600m and 3200m. He’s now setting up for a senior year where he may be the Oakland County favorite in cross country.
