2024 Ratings: Portage Regional (Friday)

Girls Adjustment: +10
Boys Adjustment: +5

MIXCSR VS. REALITY

Division One went about as expected, actually scores were a bit more spread out than anticipated. Division Four contained a minor upset, with White Pigeon’s Girls making it to MIS for the second year in a row. Peering at the history books, the Chiefs had never qualified before 2023. Perhaps this is the start of a new tradition. All of their girls ran exceptionally well, but especially Lydia Byler, a senior who had been over 27 min. for the majority of the year. 25:35 on Friday, 18 seconds faster than her Portage performance three weeks back.

A few individuals that stood out were:

Jay Bronsink, Athens – a sophomore in his first season of XC action. He’d been dropping time all year, streaking in October with a slew of 19:1x efforts. Good enough to be projected 20th, yet he placed 12th, running well into the 18’s.

Annie Alkema, Kalamazoo Central – showing why she’ll be valued at Grand Valley State. One, she’s durable, having completed all four of her high school seasons. Through that durability, she’s improved each year by a significant margin. And she just gets it done in championship time. Low-18’s for her final four races, a SMAC and Regional Champion.

Eli Velting, Caledonia – from last year to now, he’s only dropped five seconds from his personal best. The difference is, he ran very close to that best today. I’m sure the 17:02 and 31st place from 2023 was on his mind for the past 52 weeks. I’m guessing the good feelings from grabbing a 15th place and state qualifier will greatly cancel those previous ones out.
