2025 Ratings: Happy Acres

Finally finished with the summer previews, onto REAL, ACTUAL performances by the great kids making up the sport in our state!

You’re gonna have to bear with me as I build out the 2025 apparatus and how I want the posts to appear this year. There are some areas I think I’ve shored up, getting the math done even quicker, so more time can be spent focused on the athletes. No I have not learned how to program (I never will – sounds boring), everything is still pumped out in trusty ‘ol Excel. The graphics below are from previous years, the plan is to update those over Labor Day weekend.

As always, I’ll do my best to give a few shoutouts on these posts. Early in the season, these will be concentrated on names I don’t immediately recognize or athletes that are running much faster than I had anticipated. If someone’s given love, they probably deserve it, because there’s a ton of dedication that goes into finding those improvements. If you’re a coach/parent/teammate that feels someone deserves a mention, nicely e-mail/message me, and I’ll do my best to write some words about that person.

HAPPY BEGINNINGS

Malynda Lambros, Whitmore Lake

The Trojan sophomore is continuing the downward trend established last fall. Malynda began her freshman season on the outside of Whitmore Lake’s contributors, then as October rolled around, found herself in the 21’s as a crucial part of their lineup. At the D4 Finals, she busted through into the 20’s and now in her first two 5k’s of the 2025 season, she’s stayed there. Her opener at Lamplighter was a personal best and her 20:02 here far eclipsed that. Sub-20 is coming soon.

Raymond Herek, Williamston

The progress has just been precipitous. If we peek at his openers, we get a sense of how far he’s come. Just two years past, Herek begun his season with a 19:31 at Haslett. A year ago, his year started here with an 18:09. And now, 16:59, the second sub-17 of his career. If Herek can continue his trajectory, he’ll be a major help in his Williamston boys springing an upset and qualifying out of Region 14.
