MIXC vs. REALITY

Poor damn Forest Hills Eastern. Come in as the #12 team, leave without a state qualifying team in this monster of a region. Thankfully, with three powerhouses up front, additional qualifying spots went far back, all the way to 19^th, and three of the Hawk girls were able to advance.

With such up front strength, there was a high chance that the chalk would move on and that they did. Regardless, the Grand Rapids South Christian Girls performed their usual task of proving the numbers wrong. Commonly, that’s advancing when not expected. Now it’s winning where I didn’t see it coming. Two girls jumped off the page with considerable PB’s – Isabelle Oostema and Annalise Wiltjer. With the regular season starting and ending at home, you got a point of comparison. Oostema debuted at UtL with a 20:51 and dropped more than a minute to her 19:43 here. After beginning the year in the 21’s, Wiltjer joined her in the 19’s with her 19:54.

Two other individuals deserve a little mention:

Ava Benedict, Ionia – projected 30^th, placed 17^th. At each step of the season, the sophomore has shown improvement from the previous fall. At Spartan, that was a four-minute drop. Greater Lansing, nearly two of ‘em, baaarely missing out on a sub-20 (which came the following week). And the best of all, moving up 28 places here and ensuring her place on Saturday’s starting line.

Owen Moore, Portland – projected 29^th, placed 13^th. South Christian isn’t his home course, but it sure must feel like it. He’s raced here on multiple occasions over the past two years, each of them in the 16’s. His fastest performance still holds – 16:24 from 2024’s regional. But Saturday’s was pretty dang close, a 16:37 season best and his best regional placing ever.
