Been hearing about Anthony for years now and track season showed me why. A 4:41 personal best in his most important race earned him a state qualifier and opportunity to get some State Finals track experience.
Embraced the switch from Region 33 to 30, moving up 29 places and dropping nearly 2 minutes (on a tougher course, mind you!). He was 5th here last year and it appears that Carter can move up even further.
A little under the radar, but a name to watch in the future. Wesley earned top-10 freshman marks in the 1600m and 3200m.
All that thinking about the State Meet led to a race where he both outperformed his projected spot (82nd to 72nd) and outperformed his previous PR (17:56 to 17:40).
A name I’ve been writing for years and a name that’s ever present at the regional level. Three consecutive 8th place finishes and three consecutive State qualifiers.

Vestaburg ain’t done yet with impactful runners. She’s your defending regional champ and I’m always impressed given where she started, a 33:00+ race at the start of her career. Abigail is a great candidate to move up from her 26th place State finish, hot off a track season where she ran 5:12/11:25, crossing the D4 State line 4th in each.
Always finds a way to bring her best at season’s end. Two years ago, this was a PB at Chippewa Hills that secured a Breckenridge win, last year it was a major PB at State, her first race in the 19’s.
Comes off the best track season of her career, where a 5:47 dropped 12 sec. from her previous best. And then a 12:14 in her first year embracing eight laps, was good enough for 20th at D4 State.
Got rollin’ when October came around. Two 20:27’s at Portage and Class D led to a 3rd place finish here and top-60 spot at MIS.
Initial high school XC season came with many honors, including a Highland Conference Championship and a State Qualifier.
