MIXC vs. REALITY
All the team qualifier projections were correct, save for one: the Rogers City Girls. Commonly, it’s Avery Langlois defying the numbers, this time her teammates joined her. Don’t get it twisted – Langlois still performed well, earning her third straight All-Region honor. Reese Brege had one of the larger moves from her projection (12th), placing 7th. Her 20:53 was a 30+ second personal best, with those 5 points necessary as the Hurons left Mancelona with a 4-point margin over 4th.
Despite the teams going as projected, a few individuals require mentioning:
Alaina Civinskas, Roscommon – projected 7th, placed 2nd. That’s a common surname in Roscommon distance lore, but surnames don’t advance to state, tough freshmen do. Alaina had been running in the low-20’s for the previous few meets, then ripped the bandaid off with a 19:14, nearly a minute personal best.
Liam Mahaffy, Grayling – projected 12th, placed 10th. As a sophomore, Mahaffy competed at the State Finals and if the past two meets are any indication, he made it his mission to return. A 9th place finish at the Northern Shores Championship was a return to the 17’s and his 10-spot here was a lifetime best, 17:06.
Paxton Downing, Hale – projected 20th, placed 10th. The Hale senior will be making his first ever trip to MIS. What a comparison to last year, where Downing was 55th here, >21 minutes his time. In potentially the final race of his career, Downing busted out a 17:37, a lifetime best.
