Best Vault Crews: Week Five

April 26, 2023 mixcspeedratings

I’ll be on the mic for Friday’s Barnyard Invitational at Romeo. They’re going all out for the distance folks, with fast heats and a runner friendly environment. As part of the hype train, they’re putting together scoreboard graphics and introductions for each elite runner. Being the announcer, I have to do work ahead of time in preparing those intros and that work bleeds into my already jam-packed free time. So unfortunately, no writeups for vaulters this week. 😦

Okay, by the numbers Clare is ahead of West Catholic. The intent of these rankings is to mimic what might happen at our two State Meets (MITCA and MHSAA). The MITCA meet values depth, the MHSAA meet values the teams with the absolute best individuals. Either way, West Catholic, with the two best vaulters in D3, will likely score the most points of any D3 team at either meet. Clare is the only D3 team with four individuals over the regional additional qualifier. By my philosophy and reality, West Catholic needs to be in first in some capacity. So I made the executive decision to override the point totals and put West Catholic in first as well.

I think the flaws I’ve created are either going too far down (4 individuals) in scoring specialized field events or I need to give more points at the higher side of individual heights. Just another way to look into improving next year.

Stepping into the fray with immediate success for the Byron Center Bulldogs has been Jayden Brock. He’s competed in three events this year, his first high school experience on the track, and he’s made an impact in each of those areas. In the 100m, he’s broken 12, in the high jump, he’s been as high as 6’2. But the long jump is the best of that trio. Three competitions, three wins, one of those being 22’3.

Whereas those Mason girls have the team covered, Tyler Baker can score points to match any other team. Thus far in 2023, he’s picked up victories in both hurdle events and both jumps. The Panther Invite itself saw Baker drop 36 points, with two golds and two silvers. His main event over the past three years has been the high jump. He’s qualified for State both in 2021 and 2022, finishing 11^th each time. Is this the year he steps onto the podium?

Into June, past state and after all the dust settles, I plan to do some end of the season “awards”, recognizing the best athletes, just as I do these teams. Holden Van Poppel definitely catches my eye as someone that’s a candidate for all-around athlete. As these are, those will be all numbers-based, but wow his stats are tremendous. 15.37 in the 110h, 43.6 in the 300h, and 21’3 in the long jump. Each of those ranks in the top 20 in Division 3, the high hurdles and long jump are 3^rd in the division.

Braden Prielipp, the defending state champion and likely one of the more unheralded, less talked about athletes is back, rounding into form. He turned the screws late last season, establishing a 3” PR at Regionals, then adding 2” more at State. The result, a 6’9 leap, a state title, nearly setting the state sophomore record. That jump is the highest by an underclassmen in Michigan during the athletic.net era and ranked 6^th amongst sophomores nationwide. This season, he’s ahead of last year’s pace, hitting 6’4 twice, a mark he hadn’t touched in 2022 competition until mid-May. To which new heights can he soar this upcoming championship season?

First year of track as a senior? NBD to Pickford’s David Kozisek. Kosizek has competed in 11 individual events this year, ranging from the 55m indoors to the long jump outdoors, sprinkled in with a few hurdles for good measure. He’s won all but two of those. His best event thus far looks to be the long jump, his 21’4 leap winning the Superior Dome Invite 20+ inches.

Woodhaven’s Maya Justice has been a prodigy for a while. Way back as an 8^th grader in 2021, she went undefeated, even traveling the 2+ hours to Shepherd’s MEGASTAR meet to assert her dominance over the entire state. Her freshman year contained shows of potential, such as a 17’+ wins at Golden Triangle and Region 4, and bouts of disappointment, such as the State Finals. This spring, she’s showed growth from that already impressive freshman self, nearly reaching 19’ as we set up for another monumental Golden Triangle in a few weeks.

She’s been a quick study, quick learner, and in her final two years of high school, has made a tremendous impact on D2 jumps. Lyberty Brandt began competing last year, leaping over 5’ in late April, then winning a Saginaw County title along with 2^nd place finishes at Region 20 and the D2 Finals. In her second year, she catapulted to a 5’7 outdoor opener, then showed that was no fluke with a 5’4 this past weekend. Both are better than any other girl in Division 2.

Addison Hovey is back to her all-around athletic, dominating self. She can sprint, placing high in the WMC and contributing to an All-State 4x100m. She can break ankles, helping lead the Pirates to the state semis on the hardwood. And she can jump, placing 2^nd at last year’s D3 Finals and owning the 2^nd best mark in 2023.

Over the past two years, Marlette’s girls have been a consistent feature in these jump crews. A major factor in their inclusion has been Olivia Findlay. Throughout her career in the jumps, she’s racked up four league and regional titles, three Thumb championships, and four All-States. Could this be the year she adds a state title to her resume? This is as good as she’s ever high jumped in April.

The Upper Peninsula’s best high jumper has made her debut! Faith Spiroff took us by storm as a freshman, grabbing a state title in the high jump, adding a 4^th place in the 200m on top of that. She’s added some speed endurance (66 in the 400m) and is already in peak high jump form, reaching 5’2 on her first time out.
