The Rundown
Just as Whitney in the post earlier today, my same theory applies for Ethan. His case is a bit different though, his running and his times accelerating at a high rate compared to earlier in his career, but still playing a prominent role in the title-contending Pinckney program. That early career contained two years of State Finals experience and time in the mid-17’s, then his sophomore season of track providing a glimpse (4:36/9:53) of what was to come. What transpired the following fall and spring were massive leaps. Ethan averaged at least a minute faster than his 2021 version during cross and was the 4th man on Pinckney’s 3rd place team. This past spring, he handled the stick on their All-State 4×8 while again dropping considerable time. Pinckney will again be in the mix for many D2 honors and Ethan will definitely be relied on to aide them in their journey.
