Infographs from last season. Over the next few weeks, I’ll build out for this year with updated graphics.

Girls Adjustment: -34
Boys Adjustment: -28

As always, these writeups below will shoutout someone or a team that stood out from the race. That may not be the best runner or the winning team. Perhaps a team that surprised, a runner breaking through, or a runner contributing to a team victory. Of course, if you come to me nicely and want to brag about a fellow team/competitor/teammate, let me know, and I’ll try to give them love further down the line.

BROUGHT IT AT BRIDGMAN

John Keser, Buchanan

Buchanan as a whole looks better than their 18^th rank over the summer. All five boys placed in the top-12 here, leading to an easy victory for the Bucks. Can they challenge Saugatuck in Region 22? Maybe, especially if John shores up that fifth spot and definitely so if he improves at the rate he did last year. His average time in his first two meets of 2023 – 21:31. 2024’s average thus far is 18:22.

Melanie Warren, Bridgman

Moving from D3 to D4, the Bees were always gonna be a presence. Senior Clara Fast, the Howell sisters, Shuler. And now you’ve got a Melanie Warren throwing down a PR in her first meet of the year. Her junior season last year was her first on the cross course and she was pretty darn consistent – running in the 21’s for much of the year. I wouldn’t be shocked if that consistency is a bit lower this fall. Top-2 in the division is a reach, but no reason these Bees can’t compete for a top-5 spot.
