Michigan XC Speed Ratings

2025 Course Comparisons

February 6, 2026February 6, 2026 mixcspeedratings

Throughout the season, the course adjustments attempt to relate course speed on the fly. But when the season ends and I think of ways to improve the stats for the following year, I always like to take a look back and see how the numbers bore out. One method is a straight up comparison to MIS. Why MIS? Well, everyone is peaking there, everyone is running all out, and there aren’t any other meets that day.

Listed below are meets where over 20 runners per gender ended up running at MIS. Negative numbers mean that meet ran slower, positive numbers mean that meet ran faster.

Of course, the ratings themselves aren’t generated from all the runners running a race. When comparing course to course, or how a runner *should* run against how they did run, I’ll take out anomalies and unusually fast/slow performances.

For instance, the Shepherd’s John Bruder Classic had 83 girls that competed both there and at MIS. Here’s a chart of their comparisons (negative numbers ran faster at MIS, positive numbers ran slower):

Eliminating outliers could filter those marks from around -100 to +50. Or go even further, from -60 to -10. I will always tend toward the more consistent line, which is the latter, coming out to an adjusted average of -34 seconds between the two meets (rather than the -41 second difference if unfiltered).

Taking the next step, I like to compare these filtered averages and the adjustments throughout the season to see where the adjustments were accurate and where they may need to be more/less aggressive.

Average = the difference between MIS and that meet, throwing away outliers
SB Adjustment = should be adjustment, taking into account the average MIS adjustment (+19 for boys, +24 for girls) and applying it to the difference between the two meets
Adjustment = the number I had come up with during the season
Difference = the absolute difference between the above two

What I’ve found is many of the meets during championship season are rated fairly accurately, but this is in large part due to the state ratings being influenced by these late-season races. I was very pleased with the major meets during the mid-season (Spartan, Holly, Ottawa Hills, Bluejay, Otsego Bulldog, Portage), all with the ratings being within 10 sec. of where they “should” have been. Then of course there were ones that were way off, such as the curious case of the Oakland County girls running much slower than the boys. Or the many meets on September 6th or 20th. It seems that many of the early season meets may need to be more aggressive in their adjustments, but the late season ones are *chef’s kiss* spot on.

Division 1 Finals: Stats & Ratings

December 31, 2025December 31, 2025 mixcspeedratings

Hey, I actually finished these before 2026! I still want to make posts for all the team and individual champions, so look forward to that next year.

Surprise Teams

Virtually all the D1 teams hit on their expected finishing range, with only one stepping to the better side – the White Lake Lakeland Girls. A very typical pattern for the school, as they’re a bit more judicious in the amount of their races, saving their legs for their fastest efforts to close the season.

Bringing forth those efforts were:

Maya Pletzer – projected 74^th and placed 61^st, crushing her previous best by 15 seconds and getting into the 18’s for the first time in her career

Morgan Scally – projected 127^th and placed 79^th, subtracting 30+ seconds from her 2024 State Finals and over 1.5 minutes from her 2023 Finals performance

Gabby Marino – projected 172^nd and placed 141^st, dropping a 20 sec. PR

Isabelle Verellen – projected 185^th and placed 146^th, busting into the 19’s for the first time ever

Olivia Mustonen – projected 209^th and placed 174^th, ending her freshman year right on the cusp of the 19’s

Jenna Sievert – projected 200^th and placed 183^rd, hitting a PR for her first race ever at MIS

Genevieve Connolly – projected 211^th and placed 185^th, running her fastest time of the year by over 20 seconds

Unexpected All-Staters

Gracie Carlisle’s fiery season finish extended to the State Finals; MLive

Charley McKay, Woodhaven Brownstown – projected 78^th with a 10.9 chance of All-State, placed 11^th

What did it take? A return to action a few weeks earlier. McKay opened her season at Lamplighter with a 19:46, then was out for nearly two months. On her come back, she’d won the Downriver League and pushed her way into the high-18’s. But none of her October races could’ve predicted McKay chopping nearly a minute off her season best to run 17:51.

Giada Mills, Beverly Hills Groves – projected 45^th with a 20.5% chance of All-State, placed 23^rd

What did it take? Hitting the mid-18’s at both Gabriel Richard and Region 7, then taking those performances to a whole new level. Her 18:03 here was nearly a 30 sec. PR, an excellent way to cap off an outstanding freshman year.

Lucia Llanes, Ann Arbor Skyline – projected 44^th with a 13.1% chance of All-State, placed 25^th

What did it take? Summoning and duplicating her freshman performance. Twice in two years, Llanes has run her fastest mark of the year at MIS.

Gracie Carlisle, Portage Central – projected 46^th with a 27.7% chance of All-State, placed 26^th

What did it take? Building on her regional race. Carlisle ripped an 18:29 to place 4^th on her home course, her 3^rd time in the 18’s on the year and her fastest race since mid-August. A week after a new PR, she dropped 20 more seconds to place 26^th here.

Katelynn Egli, Novi – projected 34^th with a 20.9% chance of All-State, placed 29^th

What did it take? Year to year growth. Back at the close of her sophomore fall, Egli placed 32^nd here, two spots off the podium. A year passed and Egli moved up three spots, dropping 20 sec. in the process.

Charlotte Jones, Rochester – projected 42^nd with a 16.8% chance of All-State 30^th

What did it take? A continuation of the momentum. Jones had a notable championship stretch, placing 10^th in Oakland County then nabbing personal bests at the OAA Red Championship and Region 8. The State Finals were her third straight PR, capping off a month stretch where she lessened her best from 18:56 to 18:12.

Two who surged toward the finish of their high school XC career, one who’s just getting started; MLive

MIS provided a memorable close to Cooper Byrne’s cross season; MLive

Ryan Stojov, Northville – projected 68^th with a 24.7% chance of All-State, placed 10^th

What did it take? Being healthy and a mid-season reformation. For much of September, Ryan was on the shelf, on the mend from a few injuries that inhibited him from reaching his full potential that was shown on the track. As mid-October hit, he reclaimed that form from the spring, dropping a personal best at the KLAA Championship, then smashing that PB by nearly 30 sec. to run 15:17 here.

Ryan Barnes, Clarkston – projected 31^st with a 26% chance of All-State, placed 12^th

What did it take? Capitalizing on the previous week. Eight days prior, Barnes captured the first victory of his cross career, winning at his home regional in a personal best of 15:30. He kept the train rolling for his next race, slicing another 12 seconds off his best to place 12^th here.

Max Houvener, Lake Orion – projected 32^nd with a 37.9% chance of All-State, placed 19^th

What did it take? Showing again that he can show up in the late season. At the close of his junior season, Houvener was able to get under 16:00 twice, a place he’d be on many occasions during his senior season. Three consecutive sub-16’s occurred at the conclusion of his career – 15:36 in Region 8, a 15:31 here at State, then a final PR of 15:24 at MITCA.

Nathaniel Linden, Troy Athens – projected 36^th with a 32.6% chance of All-State, placed 24^th

What did it take? A long-awaited personal best. Late in his junior year, Linden put it all together with sub-16’s at both Region 8 (15:38) and State (15:51). He reached those 15’s early in 2025, but for most of October, his season best sat at 15:51. Even a return to the quick Clintonwood course wasn’t able to produce a PR. But on the friendly fields of MIS, Linden turned in his fastest effort of the season and career.

Brennan Larusso, Saline – projected 65^th with a 25.3% chance of All-State, placed 25^th

What did it take? A return to one of his favored places to race. In three years performing here, Larusso had emerged from the finish line either matching his personal best or setting a new one. November’s race was the latest in those escapades, with Brennan dropping 13 sec. from his 2024 time.

Cooper Byrne, Lowell – projected 43^rd with a 37.6% chance of All-State, placed 29^th

What did it take? A continued ride of the late-season momentum. During October, Byrne nailed sub-16’s in half of his races (and you could argue his Portage performance was worth one). The fiery close extended a day into November, where Byrne unleashed the quickest performance of his career, a 15:41.

Aron Gal, Grand Haven – projected 55^th with a 37% chance of All-State, placed 30^th

What did it take? A summoning of the magic. Back in ’24, Gal had been consistently in the 16-flat range, some sub-16’s, a few just above the mark. But with one exception, his 15:39 here. His next year followed the same pattern, a guy you could rely on to always run fast. And the fastest of those fast efforts was right here with his 15:46, a slight season best.

Brennan Larusso continued to shine on the MIS stage; MLive

Perfectly Paced

2026 Early Qualifying Standards: They’re Out!

December 28, 2025December 27, 2025 mixcspeedratings

Am I the only one to have noticed these? I haven’t seen anything on the coaches’ forums, internet, social media, newsletters, or even an announcement from the MHSAA.

The Early Qualifying Standards for the 2026 T&F season have been posted. Yes, you can check with your own eyes:

https://www.mhsaa.com/sports/boys-track-field/adcoach

Scroll about halfway down the page and look within the navy-blue box. There you have the Early Qualifying, State Qualifying, and Regional Qualifying Standards.

With me being me, I’m always gonna dive a little deeper than the surface. And I usually have numbers and a database from the past season. Posting all the early qualifiers throughout last spring, I have just that, a grand listing of everyone that qualified prior to the final round at regionals (if one hit an EQ in the regional final, they would’ve already qualified via the SQ, so that’s useless data in my opinion). Shading on the charts corresponds with my subjective thoughts, red numbers represent numbers that are too low, green represents qualifying numbers that were a bit too high.

A few observations from those numbers.

Sprints had the highest number of qualifiers.

Sprints will always have the highest number of participants. They’ll also have Michigan weather, not an advantage at all. On the other hand, a wind gauge isn’t required and illegal wind does not disqualify a qualifier.

Distance had the least number of qualifiers.

Distance typically takes up the next highest set of participants. There are certainly more distance runners than hurdlers, throwers, jumpers, or vaulters. Different than the other events are the methods in which one trains to peak for a distance race. To be able to peak in early June, a distance runner usually won’t be in their best fitness in April. My thought is that the current EQ system puts distance runners at a disadvantage relative to the other events.

The higher the enrollment, the higher the qualifiers

Both on a team and relay level. It’s my understanding that the 2025 EQ standards were calculated by the average 6^th place at the State Finals over the past 3. In theory, that should lead to an equal number of qualifiers in that event. In reality, there are all sorts of randomness and anomalies and years where the event is stronger or weaker. For the individual events, there is a clear difference between the qualifying numbers in Divisions 1 & 2 vs. Divisions 3 & 4. I wonder if this is tied to the number of qualifying opportunities. Lower divisions tend to be from more urban areas, where there’s a higher concentration of meets, and thus, a higher concentration of qualifying chances.

These are just observations. Are there solutions where you have a different formula for distance runners or lower divisions? Reading the 2026 qualifying FAQ, my interpretation is that while the 3-year average of 6th place finishes is the baseline, some adjustments were made from that point. There is no mention of how those adjustments were thought out.

All this being said, CHANGES WERE MADE. I have charts for that as well!

From the first set of charts, I outlined events per division and gender that had an egregiously high number of qualifiers:

Division 1 Boys 100m – lowered from 10.95 to 10.90, eliminating 7 early qualifiers

Division 1 Boys 200m – lowered from 22.20 to 22.00, eliminating 7 early qualifiers

Division 2 Boys 200m – lowered from 22.60 to 22.40, eliminating 17 early qualifiers

The Division 1 changes appear reasonable. The Division 2 Boys 200m could be a tad aggressive.

With the exception of the D4 Boys 800m and 3200m, the distance events were low on early qualifiers. Of the 32 distance EQ standards, only 4 got harder (the 2 listed in the previous sentence among those 4), 11 became easier, and the other 17 remained the same.

Divisions 3 & 4 had less qualifiers on average. But compared to the other divisions, their standards got tougher. Of the 68 EQ marks for D3/D4, 33 became tougher (49%). Of the 68 EQ marks for D1/D2, 14 became tougher (21%).

On the flip side of the low division sprints, there were a few events where very few athletes hit the EQ marks

Division 4 Boys Long Jump – lowered from 20’ 11” to 20’ 5”, would have added 3 qualifiers

Division 4 Girls Shot Put – lowered from 35’ 7” to 35’ 0”, would’ve added 3 qualifiers

Division 3 Girls 800m – raised from 2:19.4 to 2:21.0, would’ve added 0 qualifiers

Division 4 Boys Pole Vault – remained the same at 12’ 6”

Division 4 Girls Discus – lowered from 110’ 0” to 108’ 0”, would’ve added 0 qualifiers

Division 3 Boys 100m – remained the same at 11.10

Division 3 Girls 400m – remained the same at 59.40

The first two listed had the absolute lowest figures and meaningful changes were had. The remaining five either have no changes or the changes wouldn’t have an impact on last year’s figures. But a caveat must be made, top-8 athletes from each event, over 90% competed in the State Finals anyhow. The end results were State Finals fields that represented the best of that division, which is intention of any qualifying system.

Matt, you’ve rambled quite a bit. What do you actually think?

The adjusted requirements and changes in the EQ marks follow a logical pattern. I’d love if the MHSAA, in the early qualifying FAQ document, summarized what they felt about last year’s system. From the numbers, it appears as if the inconsistencies in qualifiers were addressed, but I’m curious if the MHSAA believes it was a fair system that ensured the best athletes and relays were able to compete at State. As you’re probably aware, I have no qualms about calling out unfair XC regionals, I definitely don’t toe any company lines, and have no issue calling out issues. That said, I’ll give the MHSAA an A- on these EQ marks and regulations.
