The Rundown

In only two full seasons, Landen has accomplished what many would desire to accomplish in four. Sub-16? Ran twice, each a closer at MITCA. The school record? All his with a whopping 15:25, again at MITCA. All-State? Accomplished in 2022 without having run at MIS before.

Following an outstanding freshman track season where he barely was on the high side of 10-flat and sped to 4:32, it was only natural that Landen would find his way onto Frankenmuth’s XC roster. When donned the Eagle jersey for the first time on the grass, it was as if he’d been there all along – 16:21. Frankenmuth runs a ton of races, and Landen was game for many of them, especially so come championship season. Top-10’s all throughout with one exception, 12^th at State. We’ll take that one exception.

2023 was a bit stagnant for much of the year, staying at the same times and not stepping onto the MIS podium as he had in ’22. Which can be explained away by his lack of a track season the prior spring. One race did give hope and I’m sure has carried the motivation since, that 15:25 at Shepherd. Subtracting 25 seconds in a year proved that progress was there, it just had to be carried out in the right environment.

Landen’s past spring was much more full of activity (1:57/4:20/9:25). Expect a repeat of that sophomore season, but much faster.
