The Rundown
I can keep going on those accolades if you want?
Do I even need to?
Emmry’s greatness spans from racing on grass to burning up the track. Did we have any clue that she’d turn into a mid-distance beast? Maybe, if you look back to middle school, she was running 28’s for the 200m, which with the proper development could turn into a sub-60 girl on the track.
Well, that proper development occurred extremely quickly. As a freshman, she was able to speed toward a sub-60 by late April, then clinched a number of titles. Region 25, the LCAA, Lenawee County, before matching her regional performance with a 57.93 winner on the track. Personally, I don’t think the 400m has much correlation to the 5k, but Emmry has shown my personal opinion to be completely incorrect. Using that long sprint endurance, she was able to extend up to 5k, holding sub-6’s for the longest time. She did so aggressively, such as at Jackson, extending an enormous lead from early on. And she did so patiently, running even splits at MIS, holding on for 3rd place.
That endurance built up during cross paid off in the spring, where she not only bettered her 400m best, but pulled off one of the tougher doubles you’ll find, outdueling Madison Osterberg in the 800m. These two girls are only naturally back-to-back on here, as their greatness pushes the other. If you’re an XC fan in southern Michigan, you’ll have to be at Jackson, Region 23, and State, watching the two duel, and Emmry put on forth her best material.
