The Rundown

In last year’s Region 13 Preview, I wrote, “Following his sub-16 and subsequent All-State, appears poised for another breakout based on his 9:37 during track.” His predicted place was 4th in that post, and while he was one spot back, the prediction for the breakout was certainly correct.

The break may have not occurred in a traditional way, but there was clear improvement from his sophomore to junior self. Four sub-16’s in 2023 compared to one in 2022. His championship season didn’t go as great in terms of place, missing the MIS podium when he had made it before. Instead of sulking, Dominic attacked the MITCA race and came out with a 15:35, nearly half a minute faster than his 10th grade best.

Track provided more ammo that this junior version was ticking along the right way. After running a series of 10+ minute efforts, sprinkled in with a few 9:4x’s, Lowrie was able to take advantage of his state qualifier, running a 9:26 in those adverse conditions. Racing to your highest level at season’s end, that’s a surefire way to lead into a great summer and senior season.

I’m gonna double down: another breakout is on the way.
