The Rundown

I really loved this MLive article that delved into Megan’s evolution as a runner, check that, a racer. Looking back to her sophomore year, there was a definite uptick in her times and ability to hang with the best in the state. She had reduced her 3200m time from 11:46 to 11:15, not only winning her region again, but putting herself in the mix at the State Finals. The All-State may not have happened, but sometimes I feel those are the best results. Narrowly missing out on an honor, but knowing you improved. Runners seem to always respond to that sort of motivation, Megan being another prime example. Her junior hopes for stepping on podiums came true in many fashions, both individually and with her teammates. With everyone back from their State Title squad, the Otsego program is on good footing with Megan (and her girls) leading the way.
