The Rundown

One must be careful with teams such as Northville. If you’re not intently watching, talent lurks in the cut, bides its time, and suddenly springs upon you.

A freshman year of cross was inauspicious, but fast at the end, Ben running in the 17’s for much of the year on those tough KLAA courses, before dropping a 16:51 at the Meadows and 16:42 at Willow. Sneakily good for a youngster, but nothing that predicted the onslaught we’ve seen the past three seasons.

First, a 4:31 freshman 1600m that ranked #8 amongst all 9th graders. Second, a 15:37 and 24th place finish at MIS, 10 spots better than his projected placing. Then a perfect 4×8 relay leg that led to Powell and Herger sealing another state championship.

Coming more and more into the light, Ben Hartigan.
