We’re actually a bit past halfway, but in my mind, Portage is the end of the regular season. Past this upcoming weekend, the schedule will be dominated by championships – county, league, area, regional, and state. In anticipation of that, why not some regional projections?

These projections take on the same format as the rankings, just at the regional level now. Real quick:

Ratings are generated via:

• The top 67% (rounding to the nearest whole number) performances of a runner
  • Runners with three or less rated races have all races counted
• Those are then weighed on recency, meet size, and competitiveness of the meet

Those ratings are then compiled and scored as a hypothetical meet. Every runner that’s run a rated race from September 1st on is included.

Yes, athletic.net has simulations. These are different than athletic.net because:

• They account for course conditions and distance
  • If you ran a shorter course, you’re likely to be overrated on there
  • If you ran only hilly, rough courses, you’re likely to be underrated on there
• They take your best performance, I capture more of the resume

Is one better than the other? The only year (2021) I compared my predictions vs. athletic.net, I correctly predicted 188 of the 216 team qualifiers, a.net simulated 184. 2% difference, but I’ll take it. Last year, I had 194 of those 216 top-3 regional teams, the previous year, 197 of 216. I like my track record. I ain’t no a.net hater either, as I bet I spend more time on there than any human in the US.

Anyhow, as I’ve said on my division rankings, these are for fun. I’m positive in my writings toward everyone, you can be cool toward me. Enjoy.

Any Surprises?

Muskegon Western Michigan Christian

Over the summer, the expectation was that Owen Sytsema, Josiah Scholma, and Eli Morse would be valuable contributors. And that’s surely been the case. The expectation, however, didn’t account for Sam Hwang. Hwang had been a solid long sprinter for the Warriors in the spring, but hadn’t joined the XC squad until this fall. He’s been a quick learner, already vaulting into the 16’s, helping WMC move up in the XC world.

Ithaca

Which probably should’ve been expected given the tradition and culture here. After all, last year, the Yellowjackets were 4^th in D3. Then they went and won Team State on the track. But they did have to replace four boys from 2025’s XC squad. In times of high turnover, reliable seniors provide a great foundation, with Evan MacLaren running in the very low-16’s on a few occasions this fall. Turning to potential-ridden freshman track kids can help, too, as the introduction of Dutch Smith to the fall sport has gone as well as you can hope.

Battles to Watch

Region 21

A cluster! Covenant Christian, Delton-Kellogg, Montague, and The Potter’s House, all ranked between 21^st and 27^th. Add in Lakeview, who’s right there in the conversation of projected points, but just outside the top-27. These guys get here in a number of ways – Montague and Lakeview with low-sticks, Covenant Christian with a strong pack, Delton-Kellogg and Potter’s House with a mix of the two. We do have some recent common matchups, with Covenant Christian besting Potter’s House at Autumn Sunrise and defeating Montague at Allendale. Lakeview and Potter’s House recently locked head at Bluejay, with Lakeview’s advantage coming through their top-2, only putting 8 points on the board.

Region 23

Yeahhhh, this is a rough one. FOUR top-10 teams, including D3’s top-ranked squad. Hanover-Horton, through all they’ve presented, should be clear of this mess. Behind those Comets, you’ve got #5 Jonesville, #8 Lumen Christi, and #9 Centreville. The Titans are ranked ahead of the Bulldogs in the overall ranking, as they seem a bit stronger at the most consequential (in a larger field) 5^th spot. But these teams won’t be racing the entire state at Sharp Park. Centreville and Jonesville are probably running the strongest right now, but Lumen Christi may have the best depth and they’ve surely been there before.

We have not seen all three in the same race. We will on Saturday.

Region 24

Over 75 miles separate the two schools in the wide-ranging Region 24. Considerably less than 75 points separate Belding and Montrose in the mid-season projections. The gap is a single point in the projections, at Bluejay, it was 21 points by way of a Montague’s 6^th place finish. The major gap came up front, with Montrose’s Eli Hobson pulling through with a major season best (17:01 > 16:34). Of course, a regional setting won’t have as deep a field as Shepherd, thus Belding will be hoping the impact of one low-stick won’t be as great.

Any Surprises?

Harbor Beach

Back last fall, the Pirates were 4^th in their region here at Wagener Park, so is it really a shocker they’re in the running to qualify in 2026? Yeah, if they’d stuck in D4. Faced with a tougher situation, the HB girls have responded in a major way. Alexa Robbins has run 1.5 min. faster than ever before, Esther Bulgrien just found her way into the 20’s for the first time ever, and Cailin Spearman can’t stop running in the 20:30’s. Not to mention the freshman addition of Juliet Siemen, who appears to be one of the better 9^th graders in D3.

Holland Black River

Black River was thought to be a solid outfit with some good depth. And they’ve largely been that, but benefitting from the major improvement of Esther Edgington. She’s been a runner that has always spun her best material at regional time, often dropping significant time in her final race of the year. This fall, instead of running 22/23 min. races through the middle of the season, she’s been busting out some 21-min. efforts too. A late season jump could have a very positive impact for Black River.

Battes to Watch

Region 20

A region thought to be close-knit and tight has gotten even more wound up. Summer projections had four teams separated by a 15-point gap. The difference between 1^st and 4^th in these projections has gotten larger, mainly thanks to Benzie Central having nice bounce-back season thus far. Though beyond the Huskies, this could be a crazy one, with Maple City Glen Lake, Hart, and McBain all detached by 3 projected points.

Looming large in the case of a tie or displacing other scorers could be a teams 6^th or 7^th runners. Right now, it’s appearing that Glen Lake has the strongest of the bunch, with their top-7 in the low-22’s or faster. In this highly-competitive Up North region, needing to only score four could play a role, with Caelyn Torry embracing her front-running ways. We can also point to head-to-head matchups. One occurred just recently in the final varsity race of the day at Shepherd, Hart placing 2^nd in the Gold division, 4 points clear of McBain. Through four girls, the two teams were tied, but the Pirates’ Emma Miller sealed the runner-up finish for the red n’ black.

Region 25

Peering back at last fall’s mid-season projections, this was an absurd one. Peering back at last fall’s regional odds, it was still wild, six teams with a >15% chance of advancing. I’m sorry to report that it seems that only five teams are in the running this time around. Although I haven’t cooked up any simulations, I can tell you that 3^rd through 5^th place are disconnected by a mere three points.

Thankfully for a bit of clarity, we did get a tiny preview of sorts from this past weekend’s Wagener Park Invite. Placing three girls in the top-11, Harbor Beach was able to pull off the win in the varsity race. Midland Bullock Creek was 3^rd, a few points clear of Caro (although some of the Tigers didn’t race to the standard that they’ve shown in 2026).

We’re actually a bit past halfway, but in my mind, Portage is the end of the regular season. Past this upcoming weekend, the schedule will be dominated by championships – county, league, area, regional, and state. In anticipation of that, why not some regional projections?

These projections take on the same format as the rankings, just at the regional level now. Real quick:

Ratings are generated via:

• The top 67% (rounding to the nearest whole number) performances of a runner
  • Runners with three or less rated races have all races counted
• Those are then weighed on recency, meet size, and competitiveness of the meet

Those ratings are then compiled and scored as a hypothetical meet. Every runner that’s run a rated race from September 1st on is included.

Yes, athletic.net has simulations. These are different than athletic.net because:

• They account for course conditions and distance
  • If you ran a shorter course, you’re likely to be overrated on there
  • If you ran only hilly, rough courses, you’re likely to be underrated on there
• They take your best performance, I capture more of the resume

Is one better than the other? The only year (2021) I compared my predictions vs. athletic.net, I correctly predicted 188 of the 216 team qualifiers, a.net simulated 184. 2% difference, but I’ll take it. Last year, I had 194 of those 216 top-3 regional teams, the previous year, 197 of 216. I like my track record. I ain’t no a.net hater either, as I bet I spend more time on there than any human in the US.

Anyhow, as I’ve said on my division rankings, these are for fun. I’m positive in my writings toward everyone, you can be cool toward me. Enjoy.

Any Surprises?

Mayville

Who have made the move from a 7^th place projection to 3^rd. They’ve kept largely the same lineup as thought in the summer (additions always a large reason for improvement in the D4 realm), their move up is largely thanks to Gabe Grymonprez. Gabe’s gone from a guy that ended his 10^th grade year in the 23’s to a junior that’s already hit the mid-20’s.

Tri-Unity Christian

They’re not the deepest squad of all-time. Though they sure are significant at the spots they do have. Of course, title contender Lincoln Laansma is one of the contributors. Another one is sophomore Caden Amerine, who has dropped from the 21’s to the 18’s over the past year. They’re even finding 8^th graders to throw in the mix, Isaac Koros running into the 18’s on a few occasions over the past several weeks.

Fairview

Where we can thank the wholesale change of Jaxx Weaver. Of Jaxx’s six 5k’s during the ’25 season, he broke 24:00 in one of ‘em. A year has passed and he’s been sub-20 on four occasions, even into the 18’s during his last big race at Heritage. Of course, the Eagles also have the reliable Carter Toensfeldt, who has been in the top-12 in the regional setting each of the past two seasons.

Battles to Watch

Region 28

Where Ellsworth and East Jordan occupy the 3^rd and 4^th spots, separated by 6 points. Despite the close proximity, the two teams have matched up only once this year, Ellsworth winning at the Charlevoix Classic by a convincing 21-34 score. East Jordan has had significant improvement since that mid-September day, with junior Ethan Sutton dropping 3 min. from his mark there, which can surely cut into that deficit.

Region 30

One single point separating Carson City-Crystal and Michigan Lutheran Seminary in the projections. CC-C goes about their strength by their top-three running close by, impacting the score with each pass. At Shepherd, Zayden Buskirk, Payton Crawfis, and Braylon Satterlee were able to cross the line within ~20 sec. of one another as the Eagles finished 3 places ahead of MLS. The Cardinals however were missing Logan Whitmer, who has been a varsity scorer throughout the entire season.

Region 31

Which has turned into a wild one, with 6 teams ranked in the top-21. Of those six teams, you can surely eliminate Holland Calvary Christian and their impending 1^st spot. I think we can safely say that one is etched in stone. Five ranked teams in the hunt for two qualifying slots. This wasn’t really thought to be the case, but Tri-Unity Christian, Holton, and especially Martin have stepped up. In this concentrated area of elite runners, a low-stick such as Laansma may have a huge impact, with T-UC projected in the third spot. As he has the capability of placing before the Calvary pack, that’s one less scorer impacted by their greatness.

Any Surprises?

Genesee Christian

Coming from a few unexpected spots. First, the transfer of Faith Smith from Davison. Smith was on the cusp of the 20’s during her freshman season, she’s more than found her way into that area as a sophomore. Then, a gaggle of 8^th graders, 2 of whom featured in the Soldier lineup as they placed 3^rd in the D5 race at Holly.

Decatur

Summer figures had the Raiders with four girls total, their roster has 10 runners right now. That in itself is some impressive recruiting. They still have their top girl, Cayla Buss, who just broke into the 21’s for the second straight year. And they found an impactful addition in Amaya Majewski, who has dropped over 3 min. from the start of the season.

Battles to Watch

Region 29

Always a tough one to advance from, 2026 is doing its part to live up to prior tradition. Two top-10 teams in Onekama and Grand Traverse Academy are probably safe. But Bear Lake has been performing serious work in their quest to move onto November racing. Evidence has come from their WMD Jamborees where Melodie Hulinek and Tessa Rutherford have gone 1-2 twice in a row. Of course all that considered, a Buckley team stands in their way. The two squads squared off at Buckley’s home invite a month back, coming in a tie that was decided by Bear Lake’s 6^th girl. Since that matchup a month back, all five Buckley Bears have hit a SB. Great arguments for each to move on!
