Regional weekend is here! And hey, if you’re a throws fan, have the afternoon off, and live on the West Side, you may want to head over to Allendale to watch the Falcons compete against Coopersville.

Anyhow, these are the last of these for now. Next week, I’ll be doing my research and the following week, I’ll be writing up State Previews. I’ll come back at the end of the season with Teams and Throwers of the Year.

If you’d like an explanation, press the following link:

EXPLANATION

If you’d like to see how your team has (hopefully) moved up, here’s the past few rankings:

WEEK ONE
WEEK FOUR
WEEK SIX

These lists contain anything uploaded to athleticnet by Wednesday, even the various JV and Upper Peninsula regional meets out there. As with the previous writeups this week, I’ll focus on an individual from each of the top squads.

Coming into his own of late has been senior Evan Berghorst. His first two years of throwing in high school contained zero points at the OK Green Championship. This past Friday, he won the discus, tossing a 146’er. That was a personal best, his second time in above 140, and a 20’ improvement from 2022.

Gave a shoutout to Dalton DeBeau last week, well Derrick Simmons is following right in his footsteps. The sophomore, in his first year of track, has made his most noticeable gains in the discus. He began the year throwing in the 130’s and now in championship season has ripped three consecutive 150’+ throws. One of those was this past Wednesday’s TVC-8 Championship, where he took home the gold.

A new team at the top and it’s mainly because of the theatrics of Maddox Gonzalez. The junior picked up 18 valuable points in the Panthers’ third place finish in the TVC-10. A first in the shot put (personal best and #6 rank in D3) along with a second in the discus (another personal best) and now Standish Sterling holds the top spot at the end of the regular season.

What’s going on over there in Aggie Land? Has the magic of Dave King been transferred onto the current regime? Why all these questions? My athleticnet research say his 43’4 on May 15^th was his first throw ever and Jamisen Latham now has a top-15 mark in D4. Looks like he’s entered for this weekend’s regional, surely there’s room for improvement after one competition. The rich get richer.

He was the 2022 Thrower of the Year and he’s returned to that top form. Last spring, Noah Johnson placed top-4 at the D1 Upper Peninsula Finals in both throwing events. As of May 12^th, with three weeks to go in the season, he’d already reached the marks that vaulted him to the medal stand. 41’6 in the shot and 136’4 at the Negaunee Lions Invite were both season bests, an excellent confidence boost heading into regional week.

As with the distance crews, I thought I’d write about a key contributor from each top team. Mariah Sackett has found a way to improve in each event in each of her past two seasons. Last year, she added 20+ feet to her discus. This spring, it’s been 6+ feet to her shot puts, from 32’ to 38’. That started almost immediately, throwing 35’ at the GVSU Laker Challenge. She’s kicked it up a notch these past few weeks, launching past 38’ en route to a win at Von Ins and an OK Green title.

Talk about peaking at the right time and being consistent while doing it. In her last three meets, Makenzie Johns has hit the three furthest throws of her life. Each of those 38’+ throws brought wins, but the most important of which came at the Big North Championship, which brings her career total to four.

Already wrote out some words for Sophia Snellenberger earlier in the season, thought I’d give some love to her outstanding teammate as well. In her three-year track career, Raigen Horsfall has earned four All-State honors and being ranked in the top-5 in both throws, appears she’s poised for some more. Two weeks ago today in a win against D4 standouts Reading, she tossed her best discus ever, adding 2’ to her previous best.

Abby Affholter has been a contributor out of the gates for the Rangers program. A sophomore in her first season of track, Abby has picked up wins in 5 of her 9 shot put competitions, including a victory at Ralph Crume in late April. After starting the year throwing below 80’ in the disc, she’s added almost 20’ to her throws, now in the mid-90’s.

Another one in her first season of track and finding immediate success is the Blue Devils’ Hannah Maurer. Sault Ste. Marie has spent a good bit of their track season south of the bridge and Hannah has stuck her nose right in those competitions, even beating the best from Petoskey and Traverse City Central in their dual. She currently ranks in the top-15 across the whole Upper Peninsula in both throws.
