The Rundown

Numbers can capture the trend, they aren’t always the greatest predictor. Looking back, we can see the signs that led to Seth’s breakout, but in no way could we anticipate his late-fall run.

What we knew is that late in his sophomore XC season, Seth had come into his own. Throughout much of the season, he’d race in the high-16’s, with the occasional 17+ effort. Held at the fast Riverside Park, the OK Red Championship served as the confidence builder. A 16:16 there led to another personal best at Regionals, then two weeks later, his first jaunt into the 15’s. A similar breakout occurred during track, where Conner pushed to a 4:19, earning a 6th place spot at the D1 Finals. Those two seasons combined would typically lead to a kid running in the mid-15’s.

Which Seth sort of did for a bit there. A few openers in the 15:50’s, then he progressed to the 15:30’s at Allendale, Ottawa Hills, and Portage. In the 12-day break between Portage and another OK Red Championship, a new Seth appeared. At that same Riverside Park, 15:12. The following week, 14:54. 5th at State. MITCA Champion. Seth was already superb at the close of his sophomore year. In 2023, he was nearly a minute faster.

What’s in store for 2024?
