MIXC vs. REALITY

Have you made it this far? Have you read ALL of the regional ratings? Are you worried that I won’t have time to delve into the State Final Projections?

If you’ve read all of these, you’ll have noticed that the projections identified 193 of the top-3 teams. That’s not the best total of all time (197 or 198 last year, I can’t remember), but it is in line with what I expected. Adding all the odds from the projected top-3 teams, the grand total was 194 of 216. A one team difference out of the many races, regions, and teams is a win in my book.

The state math is mostly finished. I just have to write. And write I will. But first!

Rachel Byler came through for her underdog girls from White Pigeon. She was projected to finish 12^th, but made it across the line in 7^th. Those five spots were greatly impactful, as her White Pigeon team advanced by a mere 2 points. She’s ending her senior year on the right note, hitting the 22’s in her past six races, a mark she hadn’t come close to in the previous three seasons.

Max Barron of Tekonsha also had himself an outstanding race. In terms of where he stood against his projection, it was about the same (projected 10^th, placed 11^th). But when you peek at his times, that’s meaningful. The first sub-18 in a career full of 18ish minute efforts.
