How Right/Wrong Was I?
12/12, back on my game. I figure if you all have personal bests, goals, I can have some of my own. But unlike you, I cannot remember what my best regional predictions were. I think it was 192 of 216. Currently at 81/90, so slightly ahead of pace!
SHARP AS A SPIKE
I will highlight one kid from each race for a little writeup. With Regionals and their survive and advance attitude, I’ll try to shout out someone who extended their season another week when they weren’t expected to, or contributed to a team that came in with a clutch performance. Of course, that leaves out many athletes who gave a great effort, and all of the athletes that were winners for toeing the line this weekend. Congrats to all.
Trenton Fetter, Adrian Madison
The Madison sophomore has gone through a ton of races this year – 15 to be exact, and his one on Friday was the fastest of the bunch. A 17:25 on the rolling Sharp Park hills was his 4th sub-18 in his past 5 races.
Kutter Vanaken, Reading
Going into last week’s Big 8 Jamboree, through 40 races of his career, Kutter had never been under 18:00. His 17:54 broke that streak and to celebrate, he found one more accomplishment: a top-10 at Regionals that led to another State Finals appearance.
Brooke Smith, Pittsford
7th to 5th to 2nd to a winner. Four years of regional races at Jackson, four top-10’s, one victory to cap it all off. The Pittsford senior now moves onto MIS where she looks to grab her third consecutive All-State honor.
Ava Hathaway, Bronson
Probably one of the more unheralded 14th place finishers in the State. That 14th place came at last fall’s State Finals and it appears she’s right on track to find her way there again. Ava has moved up from 5th at 2022’s Regionals to 3rd place on Friday, hitting a nearly 20 sec. season best on a course that didn’t seem to run as fast as normal.
