MIXC vs. REALITY

The projections definitely had their fair share of misses here on the west side. Among them:

Holland Girls
Gobles Boys
Montague Boys
Coopersville Boys
Hudsonville Boys

Each of the above teams had multiple kids step up, but a few that stood out were:

Tessa Nienhuis – her Dutch were definitely in the running, entering Saturday with a 33% chance of sneaking into the top-3. Most of that was based on their conference championship, where Holland matched Unity Christian late in the race. Tessa hit a PR there and nearly found another one yesterday, her 20:20 right up there with the competition’s 4.

David Sager – another team listed as an underdog, but still with a legitimate chance of qualifying – 40%. But when you have a senior, potentially in his last race ever, rip a 40 sec. PR, you end up advancing.

Brock Hunter – his Wildcats weren’t even listed with a percentage, I leave out anything below 5%. Montague placed 3rd, 5 points ahead of 4th place. Hunter had been in the 18’s all year, including an 18:35 here a month ago. If he’d run an 18:35 again, Montague would be sitting in 5th place, with no road trip planned for this week. Instead, his first sub-18 ever and he gets to run at MIS for the first time ever.

Brandon Peterson – Coopersville had been consistent all year, but maybe didn’t have the breakout performance letting you know that the State Finals were a possibility. Well it came yesterday, Peterson a huge factor. He dropped a nearly 30 sec. PR (and is nearly 2 min. faster than in 2024), aiding the Broncos in their 3rd place finish and first ever trip to MIS as a team.

Lucas Dykhouse – I was wrong, this was the chaos region. At one point in the live results viewing, four teams were tied for 3rd with 100 points with 3-4 teams incomplete. As I said in the preview, Hudsonville would need to take momentum from their OK Red race and Dykhouse did just that. He set a slight PR, coming in as the Eagle 3rd runner and making sure BOTH Hudsonville squads will have a place on the infield on Saturday.

In the races where all three projected teams qualified, a few individuals had a day:

Melanie Jones, Vermontville Maple Valley – projected 19th, finished 13th. The freshman has established some consistency late, hitting in the 22’s in her last four races, including a 22:04 PR here.

Esther Cahill, Saranac – projected 18th, finished 7th. Quite the dichotomy between her early season and October. Whereas she was always over 21:00 early, she’s been in the 20’s for 4/5 October races. Including a 20:25 PR here.

Willa Prinsen, Forest Hills Northern – projected 14th, finished 11th. The Huskie senior qualified for State last year, but hadn’t *quite* reached that level yet in 2025. Until last week when she had a breakout race at Riverside, her first sub-19 ever. I guess she decided she likes the 18’s, as she found another one on Saturday, 18:58 with one last race to close out her FHN career.

MIXC vs. REALITY

11/12 on the team projections with one exception – the Williamston girls. The pre-race projections had the Hornets in 5th place, 13 points out of 3rd, and with a 17% chance of qualifying. Projected two spots out, but still having a chance, the margins were expected to be tight. Williamston had season bests from six of their seven girls and a personal best from Reggie Cooke, Kate Duffy, and Madison Thomas. Sophia Schafer did not obtain a personal best, but her performance may have been the most crucial. The junior went sub-20 for the second time this season, a much faster performance than the 20:30+’s that defined her early season.

Beyond Williamston, a few others had great races on Friday:

Anna Halliday, Howell – came in projected 26th, placed 16th. Coming into Friday’s race, Halliday’s personal best had been 19:35. Before this fall, it was over 20:00! By improving nearly a minute from her sophomore best, Halliday gets to extend her season by another week.

Ariston Dallas, Owosso – what a journey for the Owosso junior. This was his first race at the regional level since his freshman year, a season that concluded with a 20:48 and 73rd place on this DeWitt course. Fast forward two years later, past the incomplete sophomore season, past the many 17-min. efforts of this fall, and you land on a masterful regional performance. 16:40, 20+ personal best, first sub-17 ever, and the last spot heading to MIS.

For the Division 1 Boys, all the teams and individuals qualified as projected. So I guess I gotta give it to the Brighton boys, who were a bit of an underdog at 37%. Two names jump out immediately as impactful: Roarke MacArthur and Evan Cummings. Both were within 10 sec. of their PR (both set at Gabriel Richard) and both finished about 10 spots ahead of where they were thought to be. Enough to make up the 18-point margin that they had in victory as the Bulldogs roll into State.

2025 Regional Projections: Division 1

My favorite and most controversial posts of the year!

The rankings and ratings from each race and each week are one aspect of the work that I do, this is another. These take those ratings and the variability from a runner’s resume, then apply that to a projection.

An explanation from previous years that still holds true:

Through a season’s worth of speed ratings, one can determine a runner’s average rating and the variability of those ratings. Both those factors are then weighed towards more recent meets, which are then simulated thousands of times using a Monte Carlo analysis (also described by TullyRunners here). Over those thousands of race simulations, one can determine a team’s average place and average score, a runner’s average place, odds on winning, and odds on qualifying.

These are useful in cross country scenarios, where you have consistent runners and those who are a bit more up and down. For example:

Tanner TimeTanner RatingTanner Avg.Tanner StDev.
15:30210  
15:45205  
16:00200  
16:15195

16:09197  
16:12196  
16:15195  
16:18194  
16:211931951.58

Jacob at his best might be faster than I in four of the five races during the season. I’d almost never be All-State in Division 1, but he might contend for a top-5 spot or place 60th.

If we did 20 simulations, this is how it might turn out:

I’d win four times, but I’d never have the ability to win a title like he had in Race 18. He’s usually All-State, but may cost his team a title through his effort in Race 7.

The simulations give the possibilities of those scenarios and all the various scoring scripts. A sixth girl that can pop off on any certain day, a reliable boy who always runs 17-flat, you name it. Hopefully, they better elucidate our contenders, qualifiers, and how these races play out over the weekend.

At the regional level, the projections were pretty darn accurate. I gave qualifying odds for the top-3 spots and ended up thinking I’d be accurate on 198 of the teams, the final total ended up being 197. The State level was a different story, where a few wholly unexpected teams hit the podium.

With that in mind, these simulations are a bit different than last year. Last year’s sample filtered out a runner’s lesser performances, which was fine in the regional setting, but didn’t account for the otherworldly MIS efforts that the Saline/Saugatuck boys had. In an attempt to capture more of the variant State Final performances, the samples for 2025 contain all of the invites and championship meets, hopefully giving more of an idea of how one performs when going to the well.

I should also mention that in order to be included, a runner had to take part in a rated race over the past 4 weeks. This will attempt to account for injuries.

Hopefully these can give an accurate portrayal of what’s to come, help with a little added motivation, or give a calming confidence. As accurate as they potentially could be, I live for the tales of the underdogs and look forward to hearing about (respectfully, of course) those unseen triumphs.

I have to warn you. All of the writeups below concern the boys’ races. It’s not as if I don’t care about the girls, I think my volume of work over the years more than speaks for itself. But in many cases, the places appear to be set in stone. In others, the guys projections are more chaotic.

What this also means is that when an unexpected win or qualifier occurs, it’ll be the story of that region or even the division. Check back on Sunday to see who defied the math.

REGION 1

Any Big Battles?

Can a Hudsonville or a Forest Hills Northern pull the upset?

All year, both Grand Haven and Rockford have been a bit of a step above. Their team averages per meet are among the highest of the four teams. At Portage, the two squads finished ahead of Hudsonville and FHN.

But the gap is closing with Hudsonville, who in the OK Red Championship, were 15 points back of Rockford and a mere 6 away from Grand Haven. All of the Eagle scorers found a PR on the Riverside Park course, a definite boost heading into regional action.

Forest Hills Northern will hope for the same breakthrough, having all of their OK White Championship scorers at 17-flat or below.

REGION 2

Any Big Battles?

One of the more chaotic and top-heavy regions you’ll see.

Midland is probably safe. They’ve got seven guys that could score on any of the other teams. Milford is Milford, racing on occasion and being a constant bane of my existence with regard to ratings. Toeing the line on such few instances means that the LVC and Oakland County Championships weigh heavily. The Mavericks won the latter in a rout, beating the closest competition by nearly 40 points. Yet, there’s a world where they don’t advance out of this banger.

Why? Because Traverse City West, Grand Blanc, and Traverse City Central all have teams with top-fives under 17-flat. Central may be a bit underrated, as the most recent major meet for the Trojans involved an upset win over West. The Titans might need to capture a bit of their early-season magic, such as a Pete Moss race where their 4th and 5th runners hit PRs. And Grand Blanc KNOWS they can find their best when traveling to mid-Michigan, as the Bobcats can point to a Bluejay race where they cleared TC Central by 45 points.

REGION 3

Any Big Battles?

This is the chaos region.

From the League Week Rankings, you have:

#3 Lowell – RCA Champions
#4 Kalamazoo Central – SMAC Champions
#10 Portage Central – home course advantage
#14 Caledonia – OK Green Champions
#15 Zeeland West – OK Black Champions
#18 East Kentwood – OK Red Champions
#21 Holland West Ottawa – winner of the first OK Red Jamboree

All championship squads or those who’ve shown they can race at a championship level.

There are always scenarios where the 4th team has 4 boys in the top-20, but when a field is so elite, that percentage is quite low. As a result, at least four deserving teams will have their season end.

At leeeeeast most of these squads were at Portage, which can give you a picture of how this chaos might play out:

Or it can point to a scenario where Portage Central, Caledonia, and East Kentwood use revenge as a factor in advancing through this utter gauntlet.

REGION 4

Any Big Battles?

Brighton is the traditional power throughout time. Team Champs in 2019 and 2021, typically always a top-ten team in D1. Ann Arbor Skyline is a program finding its footing. The ups and downs of the new school are generally trending up and you can see where the vision will lead in the near future. Grand Ledge is having the year, a band of upperclassmen making memories and winning championships.

Centering around Brighton, there are a few common competitions. One major one was in early September on the Averill hills, the Bulldogs having the upper hand over the Comets. The difference there was most evident at the fifth spot, Brighton holding a 10 sec. advantage over their GL counterparts.

Even though I think the Averill ratings are a bit undervalued, that wasn’t the best effort of the year from either team. For Grand Ledge, that might be from Bluejay, where all five scorers were sub-16:35 and for Brighton, that could be Gabriel Richard, where it was all orange under 16:15.

Neither of the squads have had the absolute high of Skyline, who at Holly were able to defeat a crowd of ranked teams. Climbing the Holly hills were a pack of Eagles, their first four ripping 16:30’s and below. It’s been awhile since they’ve reached that level, but it exists.

REGION 5

Any Big Battles?

Woodhaven vs. history. If it comes to fruition, it would be the first ever state qualifier for the Warrior Boys. Individual runner-ups, many News-Herald champs, plenty of All-Staters, and those who went onto run in college. But no team. There’ve been a few occasions throughout the year where the purple crew has solidified their standing. Otsego is the most prominent, when the Warriors placed 3rd in the D1 field, six boys crossing the line in a sub-17.

REGION 6

Any Big Battles?

Don’t worry, all the schools are included. Aiden Pengelly, quietly on the comeback trail from track, will look to claim another individual championship for Canton. I wouldn’t sleep on Austin Mercado, the Salem junior who is progressing quite quickly.

It’s likely gonna be between Plymouth and Salem for the team title. Plymouth is on its traditional late season rise, hoping to spoil the Rocks, who’ve been at the forefront of Wayne County all season.

Back here in early October, Salem placed six boys under the 17 min. barrier, the white singlets packed up and displacing many fools. A 35+ point win over Churchill and Plymouth. But in a more competitive KLAA field, Plymouth was able to close that gap. 12 points separated the two teams, the lessened difference impacted greatly by Adrian Clarke and Dylan Kosik, running the rare PR on the Bennett Park course.

Whomever wins, it’ll be earned.

REGION 7

Any Big Battles?

Um, really nothing? Of course I say that and a team that always defies the ranks might advance. That’s usually White Lake Lakeland. The Eagles will need their full lineup in action. One of the occasions that occurred was in a tri against Walled Lake Northern and Milford. Given the results there, one can extrapolate a world where Lakeland challenges for a top-three spot.

REGION 8

Any Big Battles?

What do you base it on?

Is it the OAA Red Championship, where Rochester and Oxford were 2nd and 3rd, operating at a 10+ point gap over 4th through 6th.

Do you look back to the Oakland County Championship, where Troy and Rochester Adams split the spots between Oxford and Rochester.

One aspect you can seemingly count on is the Wildcat ability to pack up. At both the county and league level, Oxford was able to have, at the most, a 22 sec. difference between their 1st and 5th. Also, Oxford’s 5th runner was the best of both competitions.

By the numbers, neitherTroy or Rochester ran their best at either meet. For the Falcons, one of their better efforts on the year was at Jackson, with four boys sub-16:50, finishing just ahead of Troy. The Colts may have been behind there, but excel on the tougher courses such as Holly, where they actually beat Oxford, all scorers under 17:30 through those tight turns and steep hills.

Clintonwood is fast and it’ll be burning for those seeking another week of action.

REGION 9

Any Big Battles?

The numbers show a single point separating the UCS schools. I wouldn’t count out Fraser, who in 2024 was a constant thorn in the projections’ side. The Ramblers have had the occasional meet where they’ve shown the ability to qualify. Otsego is an example, all five Fraser boys at 17:15 or below.

But in this Macomb County centric region (side note: is it weird that Utica Ford is over at Region 8?), we look to the Macomb County Championship. Five points separated Utica Eisenhower and Utica. The Chieftains gained an advantage early and held on through their 4th and 5th guys. Eisenhower gained 6 points from their final two scorers, not enough to overcome the 11 point difference between each top-three. But it’s so dang close, as the average gap between the two at each spot was 7 seconds. It might not even be the two above schools that determine their place, another random runner could slide in or out of those gaps and send a team into frenzy when the results come in.
