Track is back and we’re here with more rounds of our Best Crew rankings. These started in 2022 with one version, then in 2023, I used this current method, which was much more efficient, easy to tabulate and calculate. What these aim to do is recognize which teams excel in their various event areas – whether that be jumps, throws, or sprints.
The explanation from 2023 is spot on, so click here if you want to read the recipe for how these are created.
Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:
These contain results uploaded to athletic.net by 6PM Saturday (4/20). And thanks to the folks who’ve been continually competing north of the bridge, we now have some Upper Peninsula rankings!
If you’d like to delve more into how individual performances relate in a historical sense, please subscribe to Jeff Hollobaugh’s MichTrack Newsletter . Jeff always does an excellent job of recapping our athletes and their individual greatness, along with providing stories and thoughtful anecdotes. These rankings attempt to capture the here and now, but it’s tough for me to do this and shoutout to the great individual marks. So check out the newsletter and learn more about the superb athletes from our state.
Have you noticed that I’m copy/pasting the same intro each time? Well I haven’t had any complaints just yet…
