Here we are, the first batch of rankings!
Previous years had these out a week, even two weeks earlier. This year’s is a bit later, mainly because I was out running at Woodstock, but also because I wanted more information. With a majority of the state coalescing around the major invites of the past weekend, more information and data were found. All meets with over 50 participants of each gender are included (even if the ratings themselves aren’t posted to the site, they’re in my database). The main exception to that is the UP, those will come out next week.
The rankings take the individual ratings from each race and weigh them using factors of recency, field size, and field competitiveness. Those weighted ratings are then sorted by team, scored against the entire division, and ranked. Thus, teams with more depth tend to be ranked a little higher than they’d be at a regular invite or even the State Finals. But I know no better way to rank all the teams in a division than to compare against all teams in a division.
As always, these are for fun and a vehicle to drive interest in the best sport in the world. If they cause undue stress or pressure or motivate you to write me unkind messages (only happened a few times this year, but gotta get out ahead of it!), this site might not be for you. That’s fine, the many XC fans of Michigan will enjoy it all the same.

Twice defending champs, Whitmore Lake is rounding into form. Kaylie Livingston is better than she’s ever been this early in the season, breaking 18:00 on a date way before she ever has. She’s brought Malynda Lambros into the D4 elite realm. And seniors such as Elodie Weaver, Carina Burchi, and Sofia Robertson are reliable as ever. Holly’s first HS race of the day was covered in red, five of the top-11 spots claimed by the above girls.
Surprises
In a crowded, competitive Region 29, state spots at a premium, someone was going to take this pressure cooker and turn it into a reason to attack this early season. The Buckley Bears have done just that, five girls sub-22:30 at their home invite, narrowly placing 2nd behind a quality Benzie Central squad. They’ve added a senior in Mirthe Breuker, first-year runners always a prospect to improve greatly. Freshwoman Brooklyn Griffin has dropped nearly a minute from her opener at Pete Moss. It’ll be tough to advance from this region, but the Bears have made great headway in ensuring that they can.
Looking Forward
A few teams are taking the next weekend off, many are heading their disparate ways, but two will find their way into the same field in Cadillac, Grand Traverse Academy and Buckley facing off at Veterans Serving Veterans. The two squads from the highly-competitive Region 29 have gone against one another twice, the first dominated by GTA, the second won by Buckley. The two teams are separated by a mere point when comparing against the whole of D4, further separation may be found after Saturday.

The Lansing Catholic Cougars are working through their typical early-season routine. Stay in the friendly hills of St. Francis Retreat Center, venture out to Kensington for a taste of bigger mountains, then in a few weeks’ time, get their share of fast courses to feast upon. Thus, times aren’t their consideration, but the results are. A perfect score at their home invite, the lowest girls score ever at Michigan Catholic, winning at Averill in a field full of D1 teams.
Surprises
I was happy in the summer when I saw that Grand Rapids NorthPointe Christian was projected to be in the top-27 teams. Seeing schools that aren’t normally ranked means a greater diversity of kids are being introduced to and excelling at our great sport. The Mustang team was expected to get upperclasswomen contributions and contend for an MIS spot. That has happened, but buoyed by freshwomen Kylie Zwiep and Jenny Woznick, each of whom have been sub-21:30 and helped NPC earn the top spot amongst D3 and lower teams during the early session at Ottawa Hills.
Looking Forward
Hosting their home invite and inviting some of D3’s best are the Pewamo-Westphalia Pirates. They’re a D3 mainstay and always a team that performs better as the year wears on. So I would expect some movement from their #5 ranking, with #1 Lansing Catholic and #2 Saugatuck as the perfect foil. In a Region 23 preview at Sharp Park, #4 Olivet and #6 Jackson Lumen Christi will go at it.

State Contenders
Coming into the year, the Otsego girls were favorites, but not by much. Emma Hoffman, a known quantity, her fellow upperclasswomen reliable as well. Much was to be laid at the feet of what could be outstanding freshwomen. And they’ve answered the call thus far – Adelyn Verhage, Taylee Fox, Addelyn Sabatke, and Alayna Verhage all slipping under 20:00 in these first few weeks of the season. The youngsters have handled a trip out to Minnesota and hung right in there against D1 competition.
In close proximity however, are Holland Christian and Grand Rapids South Christian. Each school put their packs on display, the Maroons at Ottawa Hills and the Sailors at Sparta. Running 2nd in the early session at Riverside, eight Holland Christian girls were able to dip under 20:00. The next day at Sparta, six South Christian girls placed in the top-20, enough front range power to throw forth a 20-point win in a Gold division win against many top-ranked D2 outfits.
Surprises
A minor one, as the Fighting Irish came in at #17 in the pre-season and now sit at #10. Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard has had steady gains from their three best returners, but the major reason for the jump is the addition of Regan Faut. The sophomore opened with a few efforts in the 21 min. range, then made a substantial jump on the Holly hills, running a 20:30, placing 13th, and helping her AAGR teammates claim a D3 win.
Looking Forward
Many on the schedule with the weekend off, preparing for the major D2 showdown at Otsego in eleven days. But the Bulldogs ain’t resting, looking to run fast at Cougar Falcon, joined by #4 Grand Rapids Christian and #8 St. Joseph.

State Contenders
It’s looking like all Ann Arbor Pioneer at this point, close to the middle of the year. Coming into the year, the purple women undoubtedly had one of the better top-three, the question was just how good their 4th-7th girls and depth could be. Affirmatively answered, as the Pioneers have added two freshwomen to go along with three steady upperclasswomen, the five combined with personal bests under 19:20.
Surprises
The summer preview curiously didn’t include Grace Snyder or her sister Lexie (weird, because I remember knowing they’d have an impact). That there would’ve moved the Hudsonville girls up a bit higher, but maybe not to the level we’ve seen. The Snyder girls have each crossed the line under 19:20, helping the Eagles win their division at Ottawa Hills, Saranac, and Under the Lights.
Looking Forward
Jackson is the epicenter of D1 action (a major reason I’ll be there!) with four of the top-six teams ripping it in the early morning. #1 Ann Arbor Pioneer, #2 Romeo, #5 Brighton, and #6 Ann Arbor Skyline. All four teams are coming off tough courses at either Holly or Spartan, the Ann Arbor schools fresh off wins at their respective invites, thus momentum will be at a premium either in terms of time or a less-adverse course. I love road trips and it’s good to see#4 Northville taking one to Cadillac, where #8 Traverse City West will welcome the Mustangs. Another quick course, so expect some blazing times from the north.

INDIVIDUAL RANKINGS
As the years pass, I’ve decided to keep the in-season stuff concentrated more on the teams and less on the individuals. I do feel it’s important for individuals to know where they stand, so here’s the top-50. When it gets to crunch time, more will be written, for now, this’ll do!
