2024 Ratings: Michigan Catholic

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

Girls Adjustment: -41
Boys Adjustment: -32

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.

FIERY AT ST. FRANCIS

Gibson Shore, Jackson Lumen Christi

With Ziggy and the addition of Swags, the Titans were always going to have an outstanding top-two, among the best in the division. Now with Gibson Shore moving up, add another one and call it an outstanding top-three. Shore was a mid-17 kid for much of last year and he already surpassed that on this hilly track. Right now, TCSF is looking every bit like the championship team they could be. But if they slip, Lumen Christi is now right there, aided by Gibson’s substantial improvement.

Bella LaFountain, St. Mary Catholic Central

Call it a lil’ coming out party. After two 5^th place finishes, LaFountain finally claimed the Michigan Catholic crown. Her performance yesterday was her best time on the course by 9 sec., if she keeps that up through the end of the year, sub-19 is in the equation. But whatever times come about, Bella is further establishing herself as one of the better D3 girls.
