JUMPERS OF THE YEAR

Once again, tougher to rank these as you have great individual high jumpers and great individual long jumpers, but not always the combination of the two. If you’re one of those great individuals, your heights and distances will stand the test of time, which means much more than these rankings. For those that competed in both in 2024, here’s how they rank:

As always, check out Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org for how the marks from this year relate in a historical sense. And also, his newsletter for an immediate recap of this past weekend’s events.

JUMPERS OF THE YEAR

Once again, tougher to rank these as you have great individual high jumpers and great individual long jumpers, but not always the combination of the two. If you’re one of those great individuals, your heights and distances will stand the test of time, which means much more than these rankings. For those that competed in both in 2024, here’s how they rank:

As always, check out Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org for how the marks from this year relate in a historical sense. And also, his newsletter for an immediate recap of this past weekend’s events.

Best Distance Crews: Girls Final Rankings

The poor distance folks got slighted all year. Two rankings (when other crews received three), last minute predictions post (adding the Upper Peninsula predictions took more time than anticipated). I want to stay in your good graces for these next five months, hopefully starting with distance will soothe your anger.

Real quick though:

An Explanation
Week Four
League Week
BOYS TABLES
GIRLS TABLES

When you’re done scrolling through the best crews, there are individual rankings at the end! I actually wrote paragraphs, so you should read them.

DISTANCE RUNNERS OF THE YEAR

For the individual rankings, I decided to use an athletes’ top-two events. There are some boys with range across the board, excelling in all three, but commonly someone will pick two distance events in which to concentrate. I wasn’t going to penalize someone for skipping the 3200m all year or knowing they didn’t have the requisite speed and bowing out of 800m training. The individual events contain marks listed on athletic.net at the end of the day Sunday.

Check out the chart here to see how times match up to scores, those scores formulated by looking at the national lists for the 2022 season.

As always, check out Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org for the official lists for each event. Give him a few days to process everything from this incredible season, as many of our great athletes have hit marks that will stand the test of time.

Rachel Forsyth, Ann Arbor Pioneer

No controversy here. Unequivocally and emphatically, Rachel was the best distance runner in the state this spring. Number 1 ranks in all the distance events, 800m to 3200m. Heck, even her 400m ranks among the state’s best. A resume full of individual wins and team wins. There’s one nick on that resume, a 4×8 at East Kentwood that produced a silver medal, Rachel’s 2:09 leg coming up a few meters back. But I have no doubt that this competitive soul used that as fuel for the rest of the day, racing away to wins in the 1600m (4:38, I believe the 2nd fastest time in state history) and in the 3200m (10:15). Her day was a historic closing statement on a high school career that featured 8 state titles.

Selma Anderson, Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills

Always a closer come championship time, Selma’s 2024 featured the same pattern as previous years, this time in a exceedingly speedy fashion. Check out her a.net profile and notice if you see what I see – in her last race of the season, she runs her best times. In the three distance events, her final race of each respective season has resulted in a season/personal best on 9 of 12 occasions across her 4 year career. 2024’s version included a 2:13 in her 800m state tune up, a 10:37 at the end of a long Saturday, and a 4:40 (that would win the race in many years). Watch NCAA track this week and you’ll see an Anderson donning the Orange and Blue, don’t be shocked when Benne has his sister joining him on the national stage.

Helen Sachs, Holland West Ottawa

I’m always game for a Helen Sachs article, especially the excellent ones where she’s able to share her gratefulness and message. In last week’s Holland Sentinel, Dan D’Addona penned an excellent piece about Helen’s journey. As Coach Barnes said and I wholeheartedly agree with, I can’t fathom what she’ been through.

What I also can’t fathom is her tenacity, taking the stick with the state’s fastest distance runner bearing down on you, then pushing her in the individual events. Helen’s heroics on Saturday helped her Panthers win a state title in the 4×800 and later led to a personal best in the 1600m. Those teammates and her own strength will help lead the path toward a memorable senior year.

Victoria Garces, Midland Dow

Quickly making Michigan her home and quickly leaving her stamp on the state’s distance scene. Just as she did on the cross course (20th at Footlocker, 5th at the State Finals), Victoria has shown dramatic progress through her four seasons as a Charger. From last spring to now, Garces knocked off over 10 sec. from her 1600m best and over 15 sec. from her 3200m best. Each of which were good enough for top-3 finishes at this past weekend’s State Finals. With Rachel Forsyth moving on, the fight for D1 supremacy will be up for grabs and Victoria has positioned herself quite nicely to right in the mix.

Jayden Harberts, Macomb Dakota

Her state finals career began with an All-State with her Dakota teammates, it now ended with another All-State in the 3200m. Sandwiched between were all sorts of accomplishments: Macomb County records, Macomb County XC titles, a commitment to Syracuse, seasons missed, Junior Olympic titles, indoor 3200 wins. There have been setbacks and triumphs, all leading to an incredible Saturday where Jayden nabbed a 1600m PR and a season best in the 3200m.

Lucy Cook, Rochester

Lucy Cook doesn’t let you down when it comes to a championship race. Three Oakland County cross titles, going for four in a few months time. Three individual races at three D1 track finals, three All-States. Contributions to Rochester’s 4×8 teams who have twice stepped on the podium. Saturday’s version included holding the 2nd position for her leg of the 4×8, then battling with Garces, Sachs, and Harberts in the 3200m, where she placed 3rd. One more year to keep the Oakland County streak alive and wow us with her clutch racing.

Emmry Ross, Onsted

Wow, just wow, at that state meet. Emmry was apparently not satisfied with “just” the 400/800 double, she had to go out and place 2nd as a team all by herself. Wins in the 400m, 800m, 1600m, and 3200m, three of those four coming in a personal best and the one that wasn’t a PR was her 3rd sub-5 in her career. I’m eagerly awaiting Jeff’s newsletter as I’m not sure if that quadruple win has been accomplished before. And I’m eagerly anticipating how this determined girl aims to outdo herself again.

Morgan Brown, Livonia Churchill

Coach Kroll really hit the jackpot with this one. Morgan’s talent was apparent early, racing to 2:20/5:19 as a freshman and nearly dipping under 5:00 as a sophomore. For many, those quick times on the track would have led to fall success, but unfortunately, Brown was dealt a few bad cards in her early years on the grass. Lost time was surely made up in the fall, with a sub-18, regional title, and All-State. And the momentum rolled on from there. Indoor State Title, two school records, getting her Churchill teammates a 4×4 qualifier, and stepping on her first podium in the State Finals. Following in her coach’s footsteps, she’ll move to East Lansing after etching her name in Churchill history.

Emily Tomes, Grand Rapids Catholic Central

Scroll through enough Grand Rapids Catholic Central social media and you’ll think Emily set every single Shamrock school record. By season’s end, she grabbed three: the 800m (2:15), 1600m (4:53), and 3200m (10:38). A girl with one of the better kicks you’ll find, Emily showed us wide-ranging skills throughout her career. She came through with her strength in the fall, then flashed the speed in the spring, nabbing 2nd in D2’s 1600m and 3rd in the 800m. She’ll be heading to Michigan next year, where I’m sure her mid-distance talents will be well used.

Gail Vaikutis, St. Joseph

Three years of runnin’ ovals here in Michigan have seen Gail turn into an 800m savant. I don’t throw that word around lightly, her track record speaks for itself. Over the past two years, she’s raced in nearly 20 two-lappers, crossing the line first in all but two. SMAC Championships, Team State wins, Regional titles, and a 2nd place finish on Saturday to cap it all off. Another one heading off to Ann Arbor in the fall, one very likely to contribute to the storied two-lap history in the maize n’ blue.
