Best Throw Crews: Girls Week 5

Yes I know this is a Saturday, not the most optimal day for social media or postings. But there were a ton of meets Friday and a few days ago, I made the decision to work on Barnyard intros instead of posting this here.

Week Three

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:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

These contain results uploaded to athletic.net by 9AM Saturday (4/27). 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…

Top Individuals – Best Throw

Thought I’d throw this in here for additional flavor. Using the tables which convert a distance from each event into points, then comparing the two events, the best throws of the year thus far:

Abigail Russell, Allen Park – 163′ 5″ Disc, 554 points (5th in nation)
Abigail Russell, Allen Park – 45′ 5″ Shot, 514 points (23rd in nation)
Lorelai Zielinski, Traverse City Central – 42′ 4.25″ Shot, 481 points (5th freshman in nation)
