Infographs from last season. Over the next few weeks, I’ll build out for this year with updated graphics.
Girls Adjustment: -53

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.
BIG HILL BALLERS
Sulley Zietlow, Three Rivers
For the Region 13 preview, I wrote that Sulley had big goals for his senior year. Was one of them nearly breaking 16:00 on one of the tougher courses around? For real though, this is a performance that launches him into the upper echelon of D2 runners. Last year’s Big Hill effort was above 17, he ended 2023 running in the low-16’s. This year, racing already in the low-16’s, we can only imagine what lies ahead.
Claire Vos, Plainwell
21:30
22:29
24:28
Those are Claire’s season bests from her freshman through junior years, respectively.
20:40 at the Viking Stampede, 21:42 here. Where did this start to her senior year come from?
