The Great D4 Debate. Concord vs. Hillsdale Academy.

Where: Ella Sharp Park, Jackson.

The Course: Absolutely love this course. Great for spectators, adore the cute wooden course map, and it’s a fast one for runners. Tight turns, rolling, but gradual downhills. About as fair as you’ll get, though my guess is it’s a bit fast compared to other courses this weekend.

What to Watch For: Concord vs. Hillsdale Academy. Hillsdale opened the season with a statement at Holly, Concord returned the favor at Portage. Hillsdale added an 8th grader last week for some depth, but Concord continues to close in. The Yellowjackets are projected to win here, but may dip a little lower at MIS unless a 5th runner emerges. Izzy Freakin’ Brooks took charge over at the Lenawee County Championship to procure her first ever win. We love those championship moments. Can she repeat the feat here at Regionals?

Guaranteed to be a fast one over at Chandler Park!

Where: Chandler Park Golf Course, Detroit.

The Course: The past few years, has run about 30-40 seconds fast. I’ve heard through the grapevine that they’re changing the course to avoid some standing water. Now does changing the course make it shorter or longer? Faster or slower? I guess we’ll find out.

What to Watch For: Haley Deighan’s return. Okay, I know this is a bit of pressure going straight to an individual. So is returning with three races to go, your first race back being a championship race in one of Michigan’s tougher conferences. Clintonwood normally runs fast, but 18:53 is still legit. Without her, Fraser was hoping to sneak in, right now it appears Seaholm is a lock. The boys look to be set, both Troy and Royal Oak have found young talent while Grosse Pointe South has been waiting to stick it to North for a few years. Somehow though, Bob Stark’s magic might arise. Every year he has something up his sleeve.

What to Watch For: Both genders feature 5(!!!) Top 25 squads. So there will be some carnage out there. I’m interested to see if Gabriel Richard can attain their first regional win in many years (I do not recall any). Everest Collegiate’s girls have had their eyes on Lutheran NW, the two are Top 10 teams. Individually, Van Loton, Teed, Lemke, Keith have all been ranked in the top 10 at one point or another. Teed was my pick before the season, but Van Loton has gone 2-0 against her thus far.

For some reason, Grosse Pointe South is listed for Region 36’s hypothetical meet. So we won’t count this. Dang.
