PEAKING AT THE RIGHT TIME

Annie Isom, Richland Gull Lake

What can’t Annie do? Fifth XC race of her career, already earning a SMAC title. Isom after middling around in the mid-18’s to low-19’s for her four prior races, Annie laid down a 18:10 with a championship on the line. With two more important races left, it’ll be a wonder to see where Annie can go.

Fletcher Stucky, Kalamazoo Loy Norrix

Stucky is on a course he’s taken throughout his career. Gradually whittling his time down during the season and running his fastest when the meets are most consequential. Last fall, that resulted in two sub-17’s here and in Region 3, followed by a 16:20 at MITCA. His 16:27 from yesterday sets him up for a similar show, albeit a tad faster.

WAB = Weighted Average Before, comparing a team’s top-5 avg. from the previous week’s rankings

Of course, comparing to State/Regional day isn’t perfect, but if you’re hitting these marks on less consequential days, that’s likely a good omen for championship season. And if not, I’m sure you’ll summon a superhuman effort when it matters more. With the Weighted Average Before, it can be a sign that based on this particular meet, a team could move up in the rankings.
