Region 29 Preview

Scott, Harrand, Hogan.  Pound for pound, the best individual D4 race.

Where: Benzie Central HS, Beulah.

The Course: An iconic course that always produces great times.

Due to time constraints, omitting the “What to Watch For” section.  If you’ve followed JFT, me, or are just a fan of the sport, you should have a good idea. 😊

Will the Beautiful Lady claim some bodies?

Where: Hess Hathaway Park, Waterford.

The Course: Hess Hathaway has some major rollers late in the race.  It tends to run a bit slow, but was curiously fast for the OAA White Championship.  Runners have to be careful not to take the course used for 2020, a few people got turned around in championship meets last week.  Hopefully that’s corrected in prepping the course.

What to Watch For: Sal’s Magic.  Kevin Hanson asked me yesterday to name a team no one is talking about that will surprise people.  After hemming and hawing, Milford is my pick.  They don’t race much, snuck into 2nd at Oakland County (boys), and have a history of success.

Does Peter Baracco burn this up or save his body for his state title bid?  You just know he has something up his sleeve for next.

How much of a role do injuries play?  William Thomas hasn’t run in a month, I’ve heard rumors of others.  Farmington might be waiting in the wings to snatch that third spot.

The battle of the twins.  Kate and Grace vs. Lola and Sophia.  Big fan of all four girls.

Don’t let me forget Lakeland’s boys. Their LVC victory put myself and others on notice. They can definitely compete with the Romeo, TCC, and Grand Haven’s of the world with that kind of running.

It’s the Otsego Show, who else wants in?

Where: Otsego HS, Otsego

The Course: Mount Bulldog looms large and should be a major hindrance to fast times.  But for real, this is a pretty fast one. 

What to Watch For: Otsego’s pack in both genders.  Nick Cockerel and Megan Germain are great, but will have minimal impact on the team scores.  Canales, Brown, Wolfe, Stachura, amongst others, that’s where their advantage comes over many teams in the state.  If they collectively step up (as was the case for their 2019 girls, watch out).

Plainwell’s 4th/5th girls vs. Holland Christian’s Top 4. 

Helena Kerber.  The sophomore put forth her best effort of the year at the OK Silver Conference Meet, can that carry over into regionals?

The Boys Individual title.  Cockerel, Lambers, Bettich, and Meyer are all very accomplished and within a few seconds of one another.
