2025’s Best Throw Crews: Boys Final Rankings

Hard to believe, but it’s over. Another track season, done. Time to reflect on the best crews and best individuals.

The Best Crews have been a thing around here for the past few years. They take their cues from USTFCCCA’s event squads and the World Athletics scoring system, combining the two ideas in order to compare Michigan’s teams against events in their common areas.

The goal of this is to help recognize the athletes and coaches that create cultures, history, and traditions in their respective event areas. Think about it like this: Minnesota always has great hockey, basketball hoops are nailed to Indiana barns, Texas churns out football talent, every Iowa boy has cauliflower ear. Where in Michigan does hurdling reign supreme? Is there a town where kids learn to shot put before they can tie their shoes?

2023’s explanation goes through much of it, but here’s a brief summary:

  • an athlete qualifies by hitting a regional qualifying mark in an event
  • those times from the athletes are converted into points
  • at a maximum of three athletes (with an exception for teams that have more athletes under the state qualifying mark), team scores are tallied up
  • then team scores are added across all events of a certain area (hurdles, distance, etc.)

Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

These contain results through the State Finals. I realize that MITCA’s Champions of Champions meet was last weekend, but for simplicity sake, this is easier for me.

THROWERS OF THE YEAR

As with the girls (and for everything going forward), I decided to split this into two categories: Best Combined and Best Performances. Throwers commonly do both events, but some may have the physical attributes to perform at a higher level in one discipline compared to the other. And since the season is over, I have time to delve a little into each!

2025’s Best Throw Crews: Girls Final Rankings

Hard to believe, but it’s over. Another track season, done. Time to reflect on the best crews and best individuals.

The Best Crews have been a thing around here for the past few years. They take their cues from USTFCCCA’s event squads and the World Athletics scoring system, combining the two ideas in order to compare Michigan’s teams against events in their common areas.

The goal of this is to help recognize the athletes and coaches that create cultures, history, and traditions in their respective event areas. Think about it like this: Minnesota always has great hockey, basketball hoops are nailed to Indiana barns, Texas churns out football talent, every Iowa boy has cauliflower ear. Where in Michigan does hurdling reign supreme? Is there a town where kids learn to shot put before they can tie their shoes?

2023’s explanation goes through much of it, but here’s a brief summary:

  • an athlete qualifies by hitting a regional qualifying mark in an event
  • those times from the athletes are converted into points
  • at a maximum of three athletes (with an exception for teams that have more athletes under the state qualifying mark), team scores are tallied up
  • then team scores are added across all events of a certain area (hurdles, distance, etc.)

Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

These contain results through the State Finals. I realize that MITCA’s Champions of Champions meet was last weekend, but for simplicity sake, this is easier for me.

2025’s Best Jump Crews: Boys Final Rankings

Hard to believe, but it’s over. Another track season, done. Time to reflect on the best crews and best individuals.

The Best Crews have been a thing around here for the past few years. They take their cues from USTFCCCA’s event squads and the World Athletics scoring system, combining the two ideas in order to compare Michigan’s teams against events in their common areas.

The goal of this is to help recognize the athletes and coaches that create cultures, history, and traditions in their respective event areas. Think about it like this: Minnesota always has great hockey, basketball hoops are nailed to Indiana barns, Texas churns out football talent, every Iowa boy has cauliflower ear. Where in Michigan does hurdling reign supreme? Is there a town where kids learn to shot put before they can tie their shoes?

2023’s explanation goes through much of it, but here’s a brief summary:

  • an athlete qualifies by hitting a regional qualifying mark in an event
  • those times from the athletes are converted into points
  • at a maximum of three athletes (with an exception for teams that have more athletes under the state qualifying mark), team scores are tallied up
  • then team scores are added across all events of a certain area (hurdles, distance, etc.)

Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:

GIRLS TABLES

These contain results through the State Finals. I realize that MITCA’s Champions of Champions meet was last weekend, but for simplicity sake, this is easier for me.

HURDLERS OF THE YEAR

As with the girls (and for everything going forward), I decided to split this into two categories: Best Combined and Best Performances. Jumpers have a bit less commonality than some of the other event groups. Some boys have outstanding performances in one, then take to the track. Others hang out in the field event areas all day and don’t see as much track glory. Both deserve a bit of recognition!
