At the bottom, I’ve added some individual rankings. For Jumps and Vault, this wasn’t really a thing, but for everything else, it can be. With some exceptions of studs such as Annabelle Densmore, hurdlers are doing both the high and low hurdles. It just naturally follows that a guy like me who wants to analyze stats a bit deeper would want to know who is the best hurdler over the course of the year. Scroll to the end and find out!

INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

As always, check out Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org for the OFFICIAL lists and rankings for each individual event. Jeff’s lists stand up to scrutiny, because for a historical record, a mark must be wind-legal and verifiable. These here rely on athletic.net and do not exclude if no wind gauge is present. My rankings are more of a fun exercise as everyone doesn’t have access to a wind gauge (but how do you not have one as a track coach?). Each set of rankings have their purpose.

The individual rankings are scored in the same format as the team rankings, with scores corresponding to times from each individual event. These scores were calculated based on the national lists from the 2022 season. Here is the table for each event.

Back again with another final ranking of an event area. Vaults get their own category, as such, this is simply a listing of the best vaulting crews from 2023. There are no individual lists contained in here, if you’re looking for that, I highly suggest Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org, which is the official listing of the top vaulters.

Tuesday, the running community lost another one much too soon. Calli (Townsend) Newberry was a standout hurdler and athlete at Croswell-Lexington and Hillsdale. At Hillsdale, she wrote for their Hillsdale Collegian, then took her passion back home to cover sports in the Blue Water Area. You can read the social media posts and news articles, her empowerment of athletes and selflessness showed through in her work and interactions with others. I know she had a great impact on the Cros-Lex teams and had uplifting interactions with many of our track athletes. She even fit me into her busy schedule, interviewing me as her young child fell asleep in her lap. Calli leaves behind her parents, two brothers, husband, and her four-month-old girl.

Brenden Welper of the Port Huron Times Herald wrote an excellent piece on Calli.

You can donate to a Meal Train and/or a GoFundMe to help the family out during this trying time.

Continuing on the best crews theme that I’ve done this year, I’ve compiled one final ranking. Same formula as always, recognizing the teams with the best depth in their respective areas.

I want to do individual rankings for each event area. High Jump and Long Jump have competitors that do both, but it isn’t the norm as it might be for throws or hurdles. I won’t put a graphic on social media, but at the end of the post, I’ll have rankings for those that competed in both events.

For an explanation of what I’ve been doing here, click the link below:
