It’s baaack. A summertime tradition has returned, the 50 Tickets to Brooklyn. These lists celebrate the top 50 returners – based on a concoction of the ’25 XC season, projected improvements, the ’26 Track season, and a tiny bit of my own input.
Enjoy!

And while his 800m’s may have the least correlation to XC, they’re still worth mentioning as a show of his career. Caleb has been excelling at the two-lapper for the past two seasons, both in different regards. During his sophomore spring, Blonde was able shoot past the 2-flat barrier, dropping nearly 5 sec. from his freshman PR. But even with the fast times, state success eluded him and his team, both finishing off the podium. A year later, Caleb’s PR didn’t undergo a significant change, but the accolades did. He carried Jonesville to an early lead in their winning 4×8, then doubled back and improved his individual finish from 12th to 3rd. Although drastically different events, two accomplishments that Blonde can build upon.

And Herron’s has been incremental and steady, moving up slowly season by season. Thus, I’d prefer to look at the whole picture. For example, the entirety of his freshman year was spent on the high side of 17-flat. As a junior, he was 15:xx on four separate occasions. Accomplishments and places too, improving from 64th in D3 as a freshman to 20th as a sophomore to 6th as a junior. Decent jumps that when added together, signify an impressive progression.

And Skyline was on a roll this past spring, with MacArthur being a prime example. Coming off his second straight cross campaign with a mid-16 personal best, Oskar was due for a breakthrough. The hits came during indoor, where he erased his freshman best at Distance Fest, racing to a 1:56 in the 800m. That early fitness paved the way for an immaculate 1600m spring, where MacArthur was one of three sophomores to toe the line at D1 State and where he blasted a 4:15 to end his season, good enough for the 2nd quickest sophomore in the state.

And what a rise between 2023 and 2024. Macri had a solid freshman season, competing on the varsity squad for Lutheran North, even slipping into the 17’s at the ultra-fast Dakota Invite. A year later, solid was out the window, and Joshua was a Macomb County force. Sub-17 on all but one outing (where I believe the runners took a wrong turn). As low as 16:16 at Goodells, Region 17 Champ, earning an All-County spot. On average, something like a two-minute improvement, hitting an uncharted level where he’s been for the past two years.

And while I know the signs were apparent during Snapper’s 9th grade spring, I’d just like to call attention the comparison from race to race, freshman to sophomore fall.
Under the Lights: 18:28 to 16:12
Ottawa Hills: 18:30 to 15:55
Otsego Bulldog: 17:48 to 15:58
Portage: 17:38 to 16:41
Even the race with the least progression was still nearly a minute faster. Given his track season, I see no signs of Bennett slowing down.

And Rylen’s came this spring, particularly in the 3200m. For one, he improved just through the sheer volume of races. Back in his freshman spring, Richey was successful in the event, slipping under 10:00 twice. But he completed the eight lapper a mere six times. A year later and he was a mainstay in the event, toeing the line on twelve separate occasions. Of those twelve, he was sub-10 in 10 of ‘em, even jumping down as far as 9:28, a 23 sec. improvement from a year past.

And Derksen became a wholly new runner between his freshman and sophomore campaigns. 18:01 to open his career (still very good!) to 16:35 at the close of his 10th grade fall. Competing at Regional and State after missing out on both in his first year. Dropping sub-17’s in a majority of races, in comparison to largely being in the upper half of the 17’s. Josiah’s sophomore season set the stage for the incremental improvement that came as a junior, both on the grass and track, that leads him to this stage here.

And I was announcing at Bluejay, trying to make sense of all the names, attempting to relay what was happening in the penultimate section of the 3200m. My binoculars were at home, my eyesight failing to realize it was Logan Youngman leading and winning the race. That 3200m on the magical Shepherd track was a 23 sec. personal best for the Charger junior. Four weeks later, Youngman proved that he wasn’t finished, dropping a 9:26 to win the D3 crown. All told, the Hillsdale junior subtracted over 30 seconds from his previous PR.

And it’s pretty evident that the junior underwent a major one this past spring. Laansma has always been an accomplished D4 runner, racking up a 9th place 3200m finish as a freshman to go with All-States on the grass in the fall. When the weather warmed up this spring, Lincoln became one of the better runners in his class and set up himself up to be in the D4 mix in the coming years. His 9:39 in the 3200m became 9:19, the 3rd fastest D4 time of 2026 and the 3rd fastest time of anyone in the sophomore class or younger. Even at the shorter 1600m, where he progressed from 4:33 to 4:20, Lincoln ranks 6th amongst all sophomores and freshmen.

And Todd has proven he can start a cross season in one manner and finish in a whole different one. Part of it is how Milford sets up their schedule, gaining tough race-day experience until it comes to be championship time. Though with Tobin dropping significant time from early season to late, he’s a major factor as well. Each of his fall campaigns have commenced at the Averill Invite, 17:37 and 16:42, respectively. As a freshman, he took that 17:37 and turned it into a 16:14. As a sophomore, 16:42 to 15:41. A minute or more each fall.
