50 Tickets to Brooklyn: Boys 30-21

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!

His Championship Season

On the track this spring was spent getting incrementally faster. Lennox entered May with a 1600m best of 4:24 and a 3200m of 9:52. Starting at the SVL Championships and ending at Nike Nationals, things got better and better. He earned a 4×8 qualifier with his Powers teammates and two on his own. The 1600m qualifier gave him an opportunity to PR at State and the 3200m qualifier gave experience in tripling at Michigan’s highest level, something he’ll likely be doing in the future.

His Championship Season

In cross was by far his best one yet. All year, Gal had been showing glimpses, such as a 16:20 at Spartan and his first ever sub-16 at Allendale. Come October, the times and honors started flowing – 15:53 at Portage, top-10 finishes in both the OK Red and Region 1. The end of all that was truly the special one, a significant personal best at State that was coupled with Aron’s first All-State ever.

His Championship Season

Contained win after win. Morgan already had experience winning, capturing the CAAC Blue crown as a sophomore. One championship win as a sophomore transformed into three as a junior. He claimed Lansing-area supremacy at Greater Lansing, then went up the road to Shepherd and knocked off many from the wide-ranging Region 2. Confidence gained from the previous weeks definitely aided Ian at MIS, as he jumped nearly 50 places to grab a podium spot.

His Championship Season

Showed that Abraham had one of the bigger gaps from fall to spring. Whereas McHugh placed 47^th at XC State, he was 8^th in Division 2’s 3200m. I know the field is smaller and some appear in other events, but no matter which way you shake it, that’s a leap. If we’re thinking on a year to year basis, McHugh subtracted over 30 sec. from his 3200m and 12 from his 1600m.

His Championship Season

Used the championship experience from the previous year and expounded upon it. In 2024, the Lindens and Essers teamed up for a great 4×8, earning the Redhawks a medal at State. Unafraid of big stages as a junior, Linden took advantage of every opportunity to get back to East Kentwood. He was victorious in the long distance double at Region 10 and helped his Athens teammates make a return trip in the 4×8.

His Championship Season

Expounded on the ability that he displayed at the close of his sophomore season. Toward the end of his sophomore season, Keller had barely scraped under the 16-flat mark. When it came time to run fast as a junior, he was solidly beneath that. First, league titles were to be won, as Caleb claimed his first Big North crown. Getting that out of the way, he dropped two 15:4x’s, placing 2^nd in Region 2 and grabbing the final podium spot at MIS.

His Championship Season

Came at the culmination of a trying year. Switching schools, running for himself, a less headstrong runner may have given up hope of progress. Not Jazwinski, who took advantage of quick west side fields in order to establish new personal bests – 1:59 for the 800m and 4:17 for the 1600m. If he can do that on his own, just imagine if he’s running for something.

His Championship Season

Was, like the other years of his career, full of heroics. Back in 2022, Harper made a name for himself with a clutch regional performance that got his Chieftains to State. A faster version has emerged for the past two seasons, one that was able to hit All-State for the first time as a sophomore. He doubled down on that greatness with wins at Macomb County and Region 9, brought home another podium finish, then rattled off his fastest time of his career at MITCA.

His Championship Season

May have sealed a state championship. Nope, not in cross, because his Falcons dominated in D2. But in track, where a sudden drop in the 800m undoubtedly helped Allendale clinch a state title. He had shown mid-distance prowess at various spots in his career – 54.9 in the 400m as a freshman, breaking 2:00 in the 800m as a sophomore. As of May 26^th, he hovered around that 2-flat mark, but a day later, he had dropped 5+ seconds from his sophomore best. In a pressure-packed anchor leg with Good, Dixon, Bidwell, Gross, and Larson bearing down on him, the 1:53 Ronnie was enough for Allendale’s distance crew to claim another team title.

His Championship Season

Was the fastest stretch that Andrew has put forth in his career. He’d had individual races that were close in speed – a surprise 16:21 at 2022’s regional to help the Giants in an upset, a few 16:0x’s as a sophomore. Earlier in the year, Wright had found his way into the 15’s. In late October and November, he made himself a home there. 15:37, a personal best, was his best SMAC finish ever. Then sub-16 again at Region 3 and MIS.
