The Rundown

Throughout the ’22 season, here’s how the Pirates moved up in terms of their ranking:

Week 2: 18^th
Week 3: 17^th
Week 4: 5^th
Champ. Season: 5^th
County Week: 3^rd
League Week: 3^rd

And then in the Division 2 State Finals, Pinckney placed 3^rd. Who was the main driver behind their quick descent? Paul.

What began as a season flirting with the 17-min. barrier quickly turned into one where he was capable of stepping onto the speedway podium. His 16:10 at Portage shredded his previous best (16:34 @ State the previous year) and set the stage for a championship season where he had six excellent races, culminating in an All-State spot and 15:33 at Shepherd.

During track, we saw him start at a much better place, running sub-4:30/10:00 early, which turned into someone who qualified for State in both events. He unfortunately wasn’t able to compete as an individual, but he managed to do what others ranked before him have done – right those wrongs. He did that to the tune of a 9:10 for a full two miles at New Balance.

I don’t know what the starting point will be this fall, but if he starts out quick, I don’t even wanna know where he ends up at.
