I really had zero content for today and I just won’t settle for that. Numerous runners found their way onto the Top 50 lists when they previously had not been ranked. Showing improvement over the course of the season, a greater rate than others, I’ve decided to highlight a few. I threw the 80+ names into random.org generator, and picked the first 5 boys and girls listed.
Her next race: Regionals @ Centreville
Her next race: Mell Hall Invitational @ Spring Lake HS
Her next race: Saginaw Cty. Championships @ Rittmueller MS (Frankenmuth)
Her next race: Class D State Championship @ Maple Creek Golf Club (Shepherd)
Her next race: LCAA League Meet @ Hidden Lake Gardens (Onsted)
Due to the smaller size of this meet, what would normally be a rout for Corunna on the boys side becomes a little tougher.
Course
Corunna HS. “A flat course with numerous sharp turns. Two loops around the high school grounds is flat thru open fields and wood areas. Can be sloppy after a rain.”

Corunna’s 4th-7th boys are the determining factor making them the favorite. New Lothrop actually has a better average rating through 5 runners, but Corunna’s ability to pack up is a great advantage. In a smaller meet, this effect is a bit muted, but should be enough to pull off a team victory here.

They’ve also faced off once. At Greater Flint, Corunna won 223 to 282.
Frankenmuth’s Rittenmueller MS. From Breckenridge’s coach, “Course is very hilly. Did long runs for SVSU there. You would think it’s flat but it’s not.”

They do it right with an actual ceremony. Medals in the chute is so anti-climactic.
