It’s State Championship season. I thought I’d give a little preview of these athletes and how they relate to history, some backstories, then finally, team and individual predictions.

STATE MEET RECORDS

Feeling Pressure

Boys 200m – For over 20 years, Matt Wise’s 22.42 hasn’t been touched. Jacob MacPhee has been close this year, sporting a sub-23 in all of his races, including a 22.53 in Region 41.

Under Duress

Boys 100m – I’m amazed at the progress from Sault Ste. Marie’s Javonte Bellamy. As a sophomore, he stayed above the 12-flat mark, now as a junior, he’s busted through into the 10’s. He’s already slipped under the 10.95 record and given the rapid improvement, I think more is in store.

Boys 800m, 1600m, 3200m, and Girls 3200m – this is the Golden Age of Upper Peninsula distance running. Both the Boys 800m and Girls 3200m have one competitor already under that mark, the Boys 1600m has two more, and the Boys 3200m has a whopping four under the mark. Ella Fure, Gabe Litzner, Rorik Holmquist, Lucas Ballard, James Barch, Seppi Camilli. The times we’re looking for are 11:26 for the Girls 3200m and 1:58.06/4:18.09/9:35.63 for the boys.

Normally, I’d place less of a chance on distance races as when you’re competing in multiple events, you may hold back with races to come. But given the high level of competition, I expect at least two distance records to fall and one of the sprints.

Intriguing Events and Happenings

The Boys Distance Races, Obviously

And the intrigue will be centered around the 1600m and 3200m. While the Marquette boys going at it has its magnificence, it’s when we throw Gabe Litzner into the mix where things get fun. In the 1600m, the Sentinels will counter Gabe with Lucas Ballard, whose 4:17 at the Barnyard was largely on his own. In the 3200m, that’ll be James Barch, who employed a similar strategy on that rainy late April night. Litzner is the defending 3200m and XC champ. That 3200m came off the heels of a devastating car accident and recovery, and I’m sure that he’ll want to prove that when fully healthy, he’s capable of extending into shorter distances.

Strength Extends to Throws

It ain’t just the distance runners raising to new heights and quick times, the throwers are upping their game as well. In last year’s Finals, the winning throw was 46’ 7” and six competitors cracked the 40’ mark. We’ve already had 13 kids break 40’ in these past few weeks. As the UP advances 4 from each region, those 13 were whittled to 8, each spot well-earned.

No Gaps in the Girls Sprints

This is especially the case in the 100m, where a multitude of girls own personal bests from 13.0 to 13.5. At the top, you’ve got four girls above the rest: Lauren Sundquist (13.05), Leah Goodreau (13.22), Macyn Dellangelo (13.02), and Elvera Coyne (13.15). Thursday offered a bit of a finals preview, Dellangelo winning the WestPAC Conference over the other three girls.

Potential Girls Team Champions

Generally, I tend to think this is pretty simple. One needs elite athletes, the advantage being more of them. Those elite athletes need to score what they’re capable of, buoyed by those who scoring above their lower expectation.

Negaunee – a diversified team with the hope for high points in many areas. Nori Korsman excels in the jumps and vault, Sadie Rogers in the sprints and hurdles, and Keira Waterman possesses the blend of speed and endurance. All in all, the Miners have some of the best event groups in hurdles, sprints, jumps, and throws. And they’re just strong enough in distance to not succumb too many points to Marquette.

Marquette – like the boys, the Sentinel girls are concentrated on the distance side of things. Ella Fure and Maija Maki-Warne. The issue, if there is any, is that the two girls run in similar events, lessening their potential points. Marquette will have to find points from sprints and hurdles in order to gain ground on the Miners.

Potential Boys Team Champions

Marquette – their distance runners get a ton of the press, and rightfully so. But the Sentinels are so much more. You’ve got Jacob MacPhee, a potential candidate for a UP D1 State Meet Record. He brings along many other impressive sprinters, such as Ford Richardson, Kyler Sager, and Pierce Pittsley. They’re not done there, as Jacob Norman looks to be a favorite in the hurdles and Talon Smith can hold his own in the throws.

It’s State Championship season. I thought I’d give a little preview of these athletes and how they relate to history, some backstories, then finally, team and individual predictions. Unfortunately, no UP D2 kids submitted any pics, so this isn’t spiced up with any flavor or color.

STATE MEET RECORDS

Lightly Stressed

Girls 1600m – a 5:01.6 is definitely within Talya Schreiber’s wheelhouse, the question is: will she need it? The Pickford junior has nabbed a 5:09 this year, a mark that clears the remainder of Division 2 by over 30 seconds.

Feeling Pressure

Girls 3200m – I could write the same few sentences about the 3200m, that of which the D2 Meet Record stands at an 11:07. I’m not privy to the Panther strategy, but I would imagine that in Schreiber’s last race of the day, she may be more willing to get after it.

Under Duress

Boys High Jump – the most likely one in the D2 crowd. James Sutton’s 6’4 clearing still stands from 2013. Pickford’s John Anderson will be making his 3^rd trip to Kingsford, a place where he’s shown he can handle pressure. 2^nd as a sophomore, the winner as a junior, he’s already cleared 6’4 early in the year.

There have been some outstanding athletes at the D2 level over the past few years. I’ll set the record-breaking expectations at 1.

Intriguing Events and Happenings

Who is the next Danica Shamion?

The former Wykon and current Chippewa is an Upper Peninsula legend, winning 13 individual titles and the past four sprint triples. We’d never want to extend the pressure of matching that, but it’s not as if there’s zero candidates to step into that void. Of course, there’s another Shamion in waiting – Bristol, a multi-faceted one, entered in the hurdles, high jump, along with the short sprints. Amelia Fountain holds the top ranking in the 200m and 400m. Lauren Adams holds top-3 rankings in the 100m through 400m.

Discus – Hoolsema vs. Schiltz

Two different paths to get to where they are. Early on and consistently throughout the year, Ethan Hoolsema has been ripping throws. He’s never thrown under 125’, performing at a high level all spring as the UP’s D2 leader. Coming on toward the end of the year has been Josh Schiltz. Never tossing a disc before this spring, he’s moved from the 110’ range in April to narrowly defeating Hoolsema in Region 44.

Talon Hughes vs. Gunnar Bennin

0.03 seconds separated the two during last spring’s 200m, Bennin claiming a crown. The two are at the forefront of the sprints yet again, both returners occupying the #1 or #2 spots in the 100m and 200m. They’ve gotten much quicker too, especially in the 200m. Each barely snuck under 24.00 in last year’s narrow battle, now both are comfortably in the mid-23’s.

Potential Girls Team Champions

Generally, I tend to think this is pretty simple. One needs elite athletes, the advantage being more of them. Those elite athletes need to score what they’re capable of, buoyed by those who scoring above their lower expectation.

Pickford – it’s all about the distance running from the Eastern UP. Talya Schreiber is the UP’s version of Emmry Ross, racking up points to her team’s benefit. She’ll be a heavy favorite to nab 30 from the individual events, then help enough on the 4×8. In other areas, the Panthers should *just* have enough to win with a comfortable margin, Brooke Portice and Lyric Collins providing aid.

Bark River-Harris & West Iron County – an opportunity lies for each of these teams to steal from another in the sprints. Whichever team prevails may end up giving Pickford a challenge. West Iron County will attempt to overwhelm with depth – two finalists in every individual race below 400m. Bark River-Harris can do the same via their sprint relays, which appear to be favorites.

Ironwood – Aubrey Smith, UP’s Division 2 cross champ, can surely hold her own. If she can stick to runner-up finishes, that’ll give the Red Devils a chance to gain points elsewhere – such as the throws, where Emma Wardon has a chance to win both.

Potential Boys Team Champions

Pickford – probably only Pickford! I wish I could write some more intrigue into this, but the Panthers are a well-rounded team, consisting of well-rounded individuals. John Anderson, Gunnar Bennin, and Tommy Storey are valuable contributors, each excelling in a multitude of events.

It’s State Championship season. I thought I’d give a little preview of these athletes and how they relate to history, some backstories, then finally, team and individual predictions. Unfortunately, no UP D3 kids submitted any pics, so this isn’t spiced up with any flavor or color.

STATE MEET RECORDS

Lightly Stressed

Girls 4x400m – Stephenson reached 4:25 in early May, with 4:20.26 being the record. Perhaps being pushed in the last race of the year will emit maximum effort?

Girls Long Jump – improving by 3 inches in 3 seasons, Elsie Williams owns the best jump in the UP. Her 16’4” is 7” away from the Finals Record.

Girls Discus – Alayna Strahl and Mariska Laurila are two candidates, each tossing the disc over 100’ in Region 48. Strahl owns the better season best and Laurila the better personal best, each within 10’ of the 116’ 1” record.

Boys Long Jump – both Matthew Rahilly and Michael Rexford have leapt over 20’ this year. Both have shown ability to handle championship pressure (1^st and 2^nd last year, both hitting personal bests).

Feeling Pressure

Girls 100m & 200m – The UP D3 Finals records stand at 12.50 and 26.36 respectively. Adanne Nwose, Destiny Bleau, Bianca Briggs, and Emily Jokla each have been in the 12’s and/or the 26’s. The latter two were champions here last year. There was no last year for Nwose, who is ranked #1 in the UP 100m during her first year of track.

Girls 100h – last year’s 3x champ has extended her prowess to the high hurdles. She’s adapted quickly, coming up on the D3 Finals record of 15.97 with a series of low-mid 16 runs.

Girls High Jump – Destiny Bleau has hit 5’4 earlier in May. With a number of girls clearing 5’, a record jump may be necessary for the win.

Under Duress

Girls 1600m & 3200m – all depending on how much effort Samantha Taylor wants to give. The Newberry junior has already thrown down marks of 5:07 and 11:21, both under the D3 Finals records of 5:14 and 11:46.

Girls Pole Vault – Avery Visnaw is no stranger to this setting, placing 2^nd last year and winning 2023’s D2 Finals. This year, she’s cleared 10’ once, last year she even reached up to 10’ 6”. 10’ 0.25” is definitely within reach.

Boys 3200m – once again, depends on how much Kalvin Kytta would like to give. After all, Kytta qualified in all three distance events. He’s a heavy favorite to win all three and his personal best of 9:48 is quite clear of the 10:05 D3 Finals record.

My guess is that 2 of these D3 Finals records fall.

Emily Jokela

In Michigan history, two women (Reed City’s Sami Mitchell and De Tour’s Gwen Wilkie) have attained four wins at the State Finals in back-to-back years. Emily (along with Emmry Ross) will attempt to etch their name into the history books. Last year, Jokela found victories in the 100 through 400, along with the 300 hurdles. She’s added the high hurdles to that regimen, subtracted the 200m, and unsurprisingly has stamped her name on the leaderboard in that event.

Intriguing Events and Happenings

Girls 400m – But when you win four state titles, you put a target on your back. Stephenson’s Faith Cappaert has dropped more than 2 seconds from her 2024 best, winning every single lapper in 2025. She comes in with the UP’s #1 time in the 400m. This could be Jokela’s sixth event of the day. If the winning quad does happen, Jokela will have to earn every milimeter.

Girls Shot Put – winning here and in the discus, Mariska Laurila would claim back-to-back titles in both throws. She’ll face a steadily rising Maddy Dudenas, who just ripped a 33’ 0” to win Region 47.

Girls High Jump – Kiera Isaacson’s late-season consistency vs. Destiny Bleau’s early-season heights. Isaacson has cleared 5’ in each of her last four competitions, all wins. She’s got championship experience, hitting a 5’3 here to win last year. Bleau has the higher PR, but has been under 5’ the past two meets.

Boys Sprints – who will be the new king of the sprints? Tommy Trudgeon, 100m and 200m champion has moved on, so to has Matthew Jokela. Matthew Rahilly is a candidate, as is Thomas Caron. Rahilly excels in the short sprints, Caron in the longer ones. They’ll both lock heads in the 200m, where their PRs are separated by a mere 0.2 seconds.

Kalvin Kytta vs. another distance triple – last year, Kytta was able to pull off the tough triple, gaining 30 points on his own for his Chassell Panthers. His greatest competition will likely come in the 800m, where Ethan Snyder from the far eastern UP has dropped 7 sec. in the past year. But I don’t doubt the championship mettle of Kytta.

Potential Girls Team Champions

Generally, I tend to think this is pretty simple. One needs elite athletes, the advantage being more of them. Those elite athletes need to score what they’re capable of, buoyed by those who scoring above their lower expectation.

Newberry – the orange & black have the benefit of elite athletes in a few events. Samantha Taylor is as close to a lock as you’ll find, her counterpart Abby Taylor will contend for a win as well. Combined, they should generate enough of a gap to win the 4×8. In the sprints, you’ve got Adanne Nwose who will likely be at the front. Spread across enough events, the Indians appear to be the favorite.

Lake Linden Hubbell – will ride the wave of Emily Jokela and hope to find points elsewhere. Last year, Jokela picked up 40 points en route to a Lake win. She’ll need to be close to that total, against what appears to be tougher competition. The Lakes will try to find points elsewhere – such as in the vault, throws, and relays.

Potential Boys Team Champions

Newberry – appear to be the most well-rounded team out there. Matthew Rahilly has added sprinting on top of his jumping prowess. Connor Carlson is right there with him in the longer sprints. Ben Pavey can hold things down in the throws. Altogether, I have the Orange & Black finding significant points in more than half of the events.

Lake Linden-Hubbell – the Lakes path begins with domination in the hurdles. Lukas Axford is their guy in the 300’s and he’s joined by Brad Davis and Kaden Gariepy in the high hurdles. Together, the three combined for 29 points in a Region 47 championship.
