STEPPIN’ UP ON REGIONAL DAY

A very quick day up here in Benzie played out in the same manner as the projections anticipated. What they didn’t anticipate were the out-of-bounds performances from a few individuals, such as:

Levi Hall, McBain – the standout freshman opened his career on this Benzie course, breaking 18:00 in his first HS 5k ever. Over two months have passed since that day, as have nearly 1.5 minutes, with Hall being able to run a 16:34 over the weekend.

Jimmy Kolehmainen, Frankfort – just over two weeks ago, Jimmy was in the midst of a season that featured many efforts in the 18’s and 19’s. A solid debut campaign, but nothing that foresaw the results of the next two weeks. First, a 17:47 at the Northern Michigan MoC, then a 17:13 on Saturday.

Lydia Soelberg, Shelby – the Tiger senior made it to MIS as a freshman, but hadn’t qualified since. That freshman year was also home to her personal best, a 20:09 that had stood for ages. Soelberg only raced once in 2025, but had been back for the entirety of 2026. The culmination of that full season? Her first sub-20 ever, a 19:45 that earned a return trip to MIS, three years in the making.

Elena Meyer, Lake Leelanau St. Mary – 8^th grade? No issue. Meyer has progressed mightily over the course of the fall, moving from the 25-26 min. range in September to a 21:32 qualifier on Saturday.
