Showed a bit of promise in the 800m this spring, moving down to 2:18 by season’s end.
Potential Newcomers
First off, Riley Weed is a great cross country name. Secondly, he proved formidable at the longer distances while still training as an 8th grader. 17:08 at Allendale, followed up by a 17:39 at MIS.
Might take a bit more time to get acquitted to a full 5k. At the 3k in Terredise in mid-November, he may have had his best race, placing 12th at NXR.
Seems to be one of the more well-equipped athletes to handle the high school distance, his 18:12 at Allendale as evidence. Placed 8th in the West Michigan MEGASTAR 1600m.
One of the better 8th grade 800m runners, dipping down as low as 2:17.
Right on that 12-min. mark with a few breakthroughs, most notably his 11:45 after conquering Mount Bulldog.
Closed his track season out with three consecutive 2:24’s.
Only three races on his portfolio, the final of which a mid-12 win in the West Michigan open race.
Mid-12’s through much of the end of the XC season, then showed to be a little stronger in the mid-distances on the track, where he placed 14th in the West Michigan MEGASTAR 800m.
