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

Girls Adjustment: -59
Boys Adjustment: -55

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.

REMUS HILL CONQUERORS

Shepherd’s Boys

The Bluejays are back. Last fall, we saw the signs of a young team who could once again transform into a mid-Michigan force. Bryce Cahoon and Nolan Longuski both placed in the top-3 all-time of Bluejay boys on this Chippewa Hills course. On a hilly track such as this, PRs aren’t common. Of the 68 sophomores to seniors that competed, only 16 achieved one. Two of them were Bradly Gould and William McDonald, valuable members of a Shepherd seven that can put all varsity runners under 18:00.

Vestaburg’s Girls

In the past three years, the Wolverines have earned two team qualifiers to MIS. 2024 had been looking like another one, but now it appears that they’re ready to make some noise in the team standings. Abigail Davis will be a factor up front, today only a continuation of her track season. The key will be what their pack can do, and they’re definitely bolstered by Jessica Stouten. Her opener was a personal best (even faster than last year’s quick day at MIS!) and 3+ minutes faster than what she laid out here in 2023. Vestaburg’s girls all hang together in the 22-23’s and they’ll go quite a way.
