A summer tradition returns.
Hard to fathom that I’ve been penning these Summer Previews for now, 7 years. Just as in the past, I’ll have the 50 best returners, then as time rolls on, the Regional Previews and Top Ten Teams.
Differing from the past is the format. Individual posts for each region and ticket are a TON OF WORK. Instead, I’ll be knocking off the 50 Tickets with sets of 10 and Regional Previews by their division and gender. Hopefully with these methods, I’ll be finishing on time and actually spending effort detailing what could be some great regional battles.
Anyhow, starting with the girls (they run first this year), your 50 Tickets to Brooklyn. These celebrate our top-50 returners – based on the 2024 XC season, 2025 track season, projected improvement, and a tiny bit of my own opinions.
Enjoy!

Breakout Race
An 18:29 at the 2024 Portage Invite. She had already slipped under 19 at the tail end of her freshman year, but this was truly a time drop. Her October opener kicked off a stretch where she ran in the 18’s in five of her final six races, including an 18:06 at MIS that was good enough for an 8th place finish.

Breakout Race
You pick – either Jackson or Ottawa Hills from this past season. Both were sub-19 efforts, nearly matching her previous PR from 2023. But both were facing many of the runners she’d see in early November and were undoubtedly a great preparation for that stage. Ava then succeeded in that realm, blasting an 18:40 personal best that sets her up well for this upcoming season.

Her opener at St. Joseph. Throughout her career to that point, Holtz had been more of a track star, dropping 2:16’s, 5:13’s, and grabbing podium spots. Solid on the grass, but more accomplished on the oval. Her 18:55 to kick off the 2024 season brought on a season full of her best cross accomplishments. Highest placings at State, Regionals, and in the Wolverine Conference to go along with a 40 sec. personal best.

Switching to the track, the 2:14 from Distance Night. Running amongst the state’s best and prime D1 competition, Isom hung right in there, placing 5th and attained the added confidence needed for the following week. For those D1 Finals, Isom wasn’t in a favorable position, needing to hit a time from the first section. But she harkened back to her previous performance, notching another 2:14 in a section win, good enough for 9th in Division 1.

It feels like there’s been a career full of them. But I think that Emmerson’s (and Romeo’s) 2022 State Finals set the stage for these past few years. The Bulldogs finished 2nd that year, a major part of that finish being Clor’s 19th place finish. Her time of 18:47 wasn’t anything outstanding compared to future efforts, though it signaled that she’s a reliable girl in key moments.

Breakout Race
Elliana was at a whole new level in 2024, all fall long. So only naturally, her opener at Under the Lights. Two years in the past, she had commenced the season with a 21:26. Last August, that was a 19:53. As the season wore on, that 19:53 blossomed into a low-19 at Greater Flint and then a 18:43 at MIS.

2023’s Pete Moss. Ellie had rapidly improved throughout her freshman year, beginning in the 21-22 min. range and moving to the 19’s in two of her final three races. The Eagles had a championship-worthy squad that year and Scholma’s improvement would have been an added benefit. Who could’ve foreseen the runner she turned into? A 5:30 1600m in her 9th grade track season gave us a glimpse, but it sure didn’t foretell a 18:51 sophomore debut. From that point on, she’s broken 19 on plenty of occasions and nabbed a MIS podium finish.

Very rare can a girl point to a 17:xx on her resume. Hailey can, thanks to a massive 17:53 at Stockbridge. The course always runs fast, even in spite of that, it’s an impressive mark. Creisher finished 2nd behind the venerable Emmry Ross and ahead of Eliza Bush (both D1 runners, which should let you know of Creisher’s ability). The time was over a 90 second course PR and without a doubt contributed to the confidence that led to a 6th place finish in early November.

The easy selection might be her 10:53 in the 3200m at Farmington. In the weeks and months prior, Siene developed the tools necessary to race so aggressively. Winter mileage, day after day, led to an indoor 1600m PR. Coming back to racing in April, another positive data point in the speed department came from an 800m best at Oak Park. A perfect set up for a breakthrough at Elaine Leigh, in which Siene came through with a 5:10 in the 1600m. Two weeks later, the immaculate 10:53. Trust me, she’s working to prove she can bring in on the grass as well.
