Best Throws Crews: Girls Week Six

May 3, 2023 mixcspeedratings

Apologies for the late night post, but this is the only time I could get one in after working all day.

Hit the link below if you’d like an explanation:

EXPLANATION

Hit the links below if you’d like to see how your team has (hopefully) moved up.

WEEK ONE RANKINGS

WEEK FOUR RANKINGS

These contain meets thrown onto athleticnet by Tuesday night.

Her toss, her winning toss at the Walled Lake City meet, set a Walled Lake Central school record. The Vikings’ Savannah Breitwiser, another name from a team that constantly pumps out throwers, ripped a 144’9 in last week’s meet. The effort was her season best by 10+ feet and better than her 5th place in the previous State Finals by 15+ feet.

In her outdoor season, she’s competed in 24 finals, ranging from the 100m to the discus, 200m to the shot put. Maelie Hope has won all but four of those finals. And that’s against real competition too. For example, Whitehall has gone to Kent City Elite and the GR Elite Challenge in back to back weeks. Maelie has captured wins in both throwing events at these elite meets.

If there’s gonna be any challenger to Sophia Snellenberger, it’s probably gonna be in the shot put, and your most likely candidate has gotta be Payton Otto. If she’s competing, pencil her in for a 37’+ throw. All of her best throws have been above that mark, and if precision were a thing, she’d excel at that too, throwing within 20” on each of her 7 victories this year.

Three times All-State, is it now time for the big one? With her 37’10 opener down the road at Manton’s Rust Buster, Harley Bear showed she’s quite capable of finally claiming gold. In the past few weeks, she’s showed the first meet was no fluke, with two more 36’+ efforts.

She’s the defending D2 Shot Put champion and runner up in the discus. I had her ranked #4 on the list of returning Upper Peninsula throwers. Based on the early season, Danielle Lund looks poised to return to the podium. She’s won in both throws in her two meets, Manistique and St. Igance and she’s got a personal best in the SP, 33’6.

WEEK ONE RANKINGS

WEEK FOUR RANKINGS

To be included in these rankings, marks had to be uploaded to athletic.net by Monday Night and had to be FAT (with the exception of the UP).

I heard through the grapevine about Sebastian Cervelli’s dual against Farmington. A 1:57 4×8 leg where he went out in 54, 4:28 in the 1600m, 1:58.4 in the 800m, then a 50.3 closer on the 4×4. And I thought to myself, yeah he’s got 1:53-1:54 in him at State. I was partially right, he proved to have 1:54 in him… six weeks before State. The already crowded D1 800m just got a bit more intriguing.

I’m not sure if it’s harder to come back and double in the same meet or get a night’s rest, wake up sore, recover mentally, and come back racing the following morning. Following a 4:16 personal best in the 1600m at the Barnyard, Kyle Eberhard joined his Linden team at Brighton, winning the 3200m in the early morning and coming back to win a thrilling, wire to wire dogfight against Ty Parker (who also came back the next day!).

He’s always been a guy I’ve known for his strength, twice All-State in cross, twice top-10 in the 3200m, but it appears he’s added some speed to his portfolio. Clayton Ackley busted out a 6 second outdoor personal best (matched his indoor effort from January) in the 1600m at Kent City Elite, then came back for another win in the 3200m. He’s already gone 9:34 in the 32 this year, but I bet he’s got much more in him. On Friday, we’ll see if that’s the case…

Competing for the Up North Elite during indoor, Dakota Dykhuis got the chance to run with his newfound brothers, and work out with those at his talent level. We’re seeing the payoff of that winter work now, where the speedster has reached even new heights. Sub-2 in the 800m at the first MSAC Jamboree and a 4:23 at Ithaca were both significant PBs and rank him in the top-5 in D4 in each event.
