2023 Ratings: Marauder

The above infographs are from last season. I’ll make some new ones with updated stats for 2023 (actually started working on this today!).

With the early season ratings, a couple of notes:

Elite, more experienced runners will always be a bit overrated early. They tend to come into the season in better shape relative to the rest of the field, and thus are closer to their championship season fitness compared to someone newer to the sport.
With smaller meets, they’re not as accurate as they may be later in the year. Smaller samples and less ability to compare makes it hard to come up with an adjustment. Which explains why I’ll concentrate on the larger ones early, then work my way back toward the smaller ones.
Adversity tends to have a greater impact early. Whether that’s heat, hills, humidity, or even all three, those less fit will tend to struggle a bit more early, possibly overcooking the course adjustment.
The girls adjustment will typically be a bit more, as they’re spending more time on the course.
These will get weighed less and less as the season rolls on, meaning virtually nothing come October. As a coach, I’d stress not losing sleep over early season times. On here, I’m stressing the same thing.

Girls Adjustment: +1
Boys Adjustment: NONE

As always, these writeups below will shoutout someone or a team that stood out from the race. That may not be the best runner or the winning team. Perhaps a team that surprised, a runner breaking through, or a runner contributing to a team victory. Of course, if you come to me nicely and want to brag about a fellow team/competitor/teammate, let me know, and I’ll try to give them love further down the line.

MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS

Hard to believe this classic came out 30 years ago.

Lauren Walker, Holt

She’s an unassuming junior that has finished each of the past two years running in the 18’s. Both of her best efforts in 2021 and 2022 were at Regionals, each placing in the top-10. At the beginning of her junior year, Lauren looks to be on the same trajectory, albeit faster. Her 19:10 here is the best early September mark she’s had and her second win in four races.

Jacob Essenmacher, Lapeer

Good to see that the tradition has continued since the Williams bros and Connor Martin. Jacob’s 7^th place finish helped the Lightning secure the large division title and only continued his late season sophomore form. Those low-17 efforts late in his 10^th grade year were a massive improvement from his freshman year, over 4 minutes quicker. Given that it’s early in the year and he hit 4:41/10:19 in track, don’t be shocked if the 16’s come soon.
