Best Hurdle Crews: Boys Week 6

The path towards a State Championship is often made much easier by an elite hurdling crew. Can any of these top boys squads help their respective teams hoist a trophy in early June?

Week Four Rankings

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 Tuesday (4/29). 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 Race

Thought I’d throw this in here for additional flavor. Using the tables which convert a time from each event into points, then comparing the two hurdle races by highest amount of points. These don’t take illegal winds into account, just a listing of the best marks.
