2026’s Best Throw Crews: Final Rankings

Hitting you early with the post-season rankings!

An explanation:

The Best Crews have been a thing around here for the past few years. They take their cues from USTFCCCA’s event squads and the World Athletics scoring system, combining the two ideas in order to compare Michigan’s teams against events in their common areas.

The goal of this is to help recognize the athletes and coaches that create cultures, history, and traditions in their respective event areas. Think about it like this: Minnesota always has great hockey, basketball hoops are nailed to Indiana barns, Texas churns out football talent, every Iowa boy has cauliflower ear. Where in Michigan does hurdling reign supreme? Is there a town where kids learn to shot put before they can tie their shoes?

2023’s explanation goes through much of it, but two things have changed for 2025 (and now, 2026).

the Boys 200m points have been re-mathed and edited, as previous versions sold short athletes such as Jeremy Dixon and Jake Machiniak when it came to season end rankings.

instead of using a team’s top-four athletes to generate their total for an event, I’m using their top-three. Belleville’s hurdlers are the main reason for this, there’s no way they shouldn’t have been the top D1 squad in 2024. I feel this will better portray a team’s top athletes.

Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

These contain results through the State Finals.

Very simply, one had to have hit a regional qualifier to earn points. If a team had three regional qualifiers, all three earn points. And so on with two and one. For these throw crews, the Shot Put and Discus are the two events where points are added and combined.

D1 Qualifiers
D2 Qualifiers
D3 Qualifiers
D4 Qualifiers – which I used for Upper Peninsula athletes and teams

The Past Four Years

The Best Crews have been around for five seasons, four in the current format and methodology. I thought I’d look back and see how many crews have made it into the top-10 all four years and who has been ranked #1 more than once. A single year is a great piece of evidence. Multiple years of success and high achievement definitely speak highly of a program’s culture.
