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.

RUST SHATTERED

Owen Fisher, Mattawan

Capitalizing on what was established late in 2023. Midway through Fisher’s sophomore year, he ran his first ever sub-17, a 16:49 at Cougar Falcon. He’d hit that under that mark three more times, including a 16:37 to place 16^th in the SMAC. He’s already exceeded that with a 16:34 on Friday night under the lights. This effort was 20 sec. faster than last year on a course that seemingly ran much slower than last year’s version.

Emma Hoffman, Otsego

Already held the Otsego school record and then lowered it even further. First girl in the Bulldogs’ illustrious history to break 18:00. Emma was already a standout runner, she’s taken it to a completely new level thus far in 2024.
