Made great gains in the 1600m this spring, thanks to a valiant try in making it to Rockford. His 4:24 at Grand Ledge was excruciatingly close, yet in the process he found a 6 second personal best. A lesser man may have folded in the 3200m later day, but Tyler worked his way toward his first individual qualifier.
Was able to pull off the impressive double at Region 4, qualifying for State in the 1600m and 3200m, hitting personal bests along the way.
There aren’t many better programs than Brighton at developing from cross to track, track to cross, winter, and summer. Tyler’s 9:41 in the 3200m was nearly a minute faster than his freshman best.
Looking again to those 9:4x’s, use his freshman track campaign for comparison. He didn’t run the 3200m in 2022, but he did run in the 1600m, barely staying on the north side of 5:00. Decreased his pace by 2-3 seconds a lap while doubling the distance.
Two years ago, he began his career with three consecutive 20+ min. efforts. One year ago, he closed his fall with five of six 16-min. performances.
Rocked his first sub-17 ever late and decided he wanted more, winning the Huron Meadows PROM with a 16:59.
This distance depth is unreal, the Bulldogs could have seven possible scorers on any given day. First year of track emitted a 4:35 and 9:58.
After 30+ races stretching between his freshman and sophomore years, Bode managed to sneak under 17:00 in a late September tri against Northville and Plymouth.
If he keeps up this pattern of dropping time in two minute increments, he’ll be in the 15’s this fall. Seriously though, Josh has gone from 21:48 to 17:36 in two years, that progress continuing towards a 4:33 1600m in late April.
