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

Girls Adjustment: -39
Boys Adjustment: -43

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.

SAINTLY

Caiden Caswell, Vicksburg

There were flashes during his freshman cross season, quite a few mid-16 efforts. There were also humbling moments, such as placing 207^th at State. The former showed he was quickly learning the sport; the latter prevented him from being mentioned among Michigan’s best freshmen. Track saw more consistency, running in the 4:40’s and ending his 3200m campaign with a 10:14 PR. If he combines the speed he displayed here with the ability to always bring it from track, standing on championship podiums is a definite possibility.

Berkley Holtz, Sturgis

First off, I see you, Emma Hoffman. Maybe chill on challenging your Otsego school record a bit?

Secondly, this girl. Berks had been showing signs of her elite racing on the track, running 2:20 or faster the past two years, sub-5:20 as well. But it hadn’t really translated to cross. Sure, she’d been good, top-10 at Regionals, St. Joseph County champ (x2). But this is a whole ‘nother level. For comparison sake, her opener here last year was above 20. 18:55 yesterday.
