2022’s Best Distance Crews

March 14, 2023 mixcspeedratings

Back again with a look at 2022’s Best Crews. This time, the most recognizable to the loyal readers out there – the Distance Crews. This is the first of the bunch that includes relays. You’ll notice the relays aren’t scored in the same ballpark as individuals, rather they’re scaled to attempt to match their importance in a meet and roughly equal the same output as a great band of individuals.

Intro – Detailing the Scoring Method

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

You’ll also notice that the top squads here are eerily similar to those who placed on podiums in November. Perhaps a lesson to those who don’t value track as much. You put in the work this spring and you’ll see the payoff in the fall.

I think I’ve figured out the schedule that I want to release these. I’ll try to rotate through every 2 weeks, in this order – Sunday: Jumps, Tuesday: Hurdles, Thursday: Vault, Sunday: Distance, Tuesday: Throws, Thursday: Sprints. Spreading it out should give me time to write a sentence, paragraph, or word about battles and rivalries in each event, each division.

Hope you enjoy another sub-40 degree day!

2022’s Best Vault Crews

March 12, 2023March 11, 2023 mixcspeedratings

Vaulters get their own category. For one, in my mind, there aren’t any true combinations with other events. Vaulters can jump, sprint, run distance, throw. They need attributes from all those events for success in their event. I think it’s the ultimate test of athleticism, so they get their own special category.

Just to recap the scoring method, here’s how it works:

In order to gain points in these rankings, one has to attain a regional additional qualifying mark. For Division 3’s Laingsburg, there were 5 individuals above 10’6. For Division 1’s Dexter, there were 3 individuals above 12’3.

Grade	Name	Team	Division	Height	Points
10	Jack Borgman	Laingsburg	3	14’7	463
12	Alex Brown	Laingsburg	3	13’6	426
11	Kyle Boettcher	Laingsburg	3	12’0	375
11	Caleb Boettcher	Laingsburg	3	11’0	342
10	Dano Winans	Laingsburg	3	10’6	325
12	Cole Sheldon	Dexter	1	16’1	513
10	Clark Sheldon	Dexter	1	13’6	426
11	Barrett Keller	Dexter	1	12’3	384

The various heights correspond with different point totals found in the chart here. Then the top 4 individuals from each squad have their point totals added together. For Laingsburg, that comes to 1606 points, Dexter 1323.

Now one might see that Dexter’s best three are better than Laingsburg’s top three, which is a valid thought. Using different standards to qualify for points in each division is meant to keep the process consistent across divisions. In a way, doing it this way also adjusts for school size. For the overall rankings, Laingsburg is ranked #1 because they’re better in comparison to the rest of their division than any other squad in the state.

When I said in the intro that comparing across divisions is difficult, this is what I meant. A school with higher enrollment will have an advantage in terms of numbers, a lower division team may have an advantage because of “weaker” standards, which is the case here. Because of this, the Overall Rankings in 2023 will be more of a footnote and the best crews within each division will be highlighted.

2022’s Best Hurdlers

March 9, 2023 mixcspeedratings

A little breakdown of the Best Hurdlers of 2022. To recap, points are given corresponding with one’s best time in an event. Those points are added together to produce a ranking. The rankings are great, but I find it hard to not award a state champion, so the Hurdlers of the Year within each division contain state champions for their respective divisions.

The tables below show the point total for each time:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

Plus a general explanation of what I’ll be doing this spring:
