2023 Ratings: Shamrock

The above infographs are from last season. I’ll make some new ones with updated stats for 2023.

With the early season ratings, a couple of notes:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The girls adjustment will typically be a bit more, as they’re spending more time on the course.
5. 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: -31
Boys Adjustment: -29

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.

IT AIN’T THE LUCK OF THE IRISH

Logan Brazee, Otsego

Girl’s just been continuing what she ended with last fall. With an 18:59 opener at Southwest Rustbuster, she’s already ventured into the 18’s, a feat that eluded her until late September of ’22. Considering that she ended her junior year with a series of 18:4x efforts, the fact that she’s begun her senior year more than a minute ahead of last year means we might see much lower efforts to come in a few weeks.

Boden Genovese, Coloma

With Hunter Jones moving on south, there’s a void towards that Division 3 Boys title. Early on, Boden’s making a serious bid, throwing his name into contention. We know he can get it done on the track, placing 3^rd in both the 800 and 1600m at State. This is probably his best start to any of his fall seasons, three low-16 efforts in his last three meets. His 16:09 on a warm Tuesday was a personal best, winning by 15+ seconds over some very accomplished Division 2 talent.
