Michigan XC Speed Ratings

Collin was a magnificent middle school runner for the Pirates, winning the majority of his races, finishing top-5 at Greater Lansing twice, breaking 11:00
He’s carried that over into his high school career, racking up the times and titles
After a track stint at Carson City (where he broke 10:00 and placed at D4 State), he began the season with victories in 5 of his first 6 races
He had a minor hiccup at Bluejay but then turned in a wonderful October and November, claiming crowns in the CMAC and Region 24, stepping on that podium at MIS as well
Similar medals at big meets were attained during track, where he placed All-State in the 1600m
I’m glad he’s found a home over in P-W, he’ll be leading a team looking to place high at State, and he’ll be counted on to run well when it matters, something to which Collin is extremely accustomed

One may look at those times and ratings and wonder, why is AnnDee on here?
Well I’m happy to report that track is a huge factor and she knocked it out of the park this track season
In both the 1600m and 3200m, she was able to thrown down times and rack up awards, 5:05 was good enough for 20^th in D1, 11:01 the 18^th fastest time among all returners, and she grabbed a Macomb County title along the way
- She didn’t quite reach the 2:25 800m level she did in 2021, but those marks in the longer distances are much more impressive
All this came on the back of her first cross season since 7^th grade
I’m not sure the reason for the absence, all I know is that AnnDee more than made up for lost time
A little adjustment was needed, running above 20:00 for the majority of meets before championship season
But come October, she adjusted to circumstances and raced like a veteran
- Muddy, mucky courses at the MAC Championship and Region 9, she placed 5^th at the MAC meet and qualified for State
- Ideal conditions at State, but a competition level rarely seen in her season, she nearly pulled off an All-State
Whatever it may be, her track season sets the stage for a further jump in cross and it’s great to see the rebirth of the Macomb County girls

The Top Tens

It’s been three years of accolades, accomplishments, and awards, though what has impressed me the most is Allison’s ability to bounce back after a “subpar” State Meet
- And I put that in quotes because running sub-19 at State and finishing 37^th would be out of this world for us mere mortals
Allison had one of the more impressive races of the day in Rockford, taking the lead in the final few laps of the first heat of the 1600m
She was one of 16 girls to break 5:00 that day, but hers was a little more difficult than others around the same time, having to take charge
After going to the well in that 1600m, she still summoned enough strength to run a 2:17, the kind of mental fortitude essential for cross country
All that capped a track season where she was able to drop 11 seconds in the 800m, 14 in the 1600m, and 17 in the 3200m, showing that even the best can subtract significant seconds
I hope this carries over to the next few months, where she’ll be poised to make her third trip to the All-State podium

Looking back, you could see the inklings from afar: two sub-11’s as a 7^th grader, a win at Portage that same year, a 17:25 at 2020’s Meet of Champions
Ethan turned those inklings into one of the better cross seasons of any freshman boy, at least from a ratings perspective
- Only two having higher overall ratings, you’ll see them later
With those ratings and times came honors, medals at Wayne County, KLAA, and Regionals
And with those honors came a valuable team member, helping Northville win the County title and finish 4^th at State
During the track season, he proved very capable at both the 16 and 3200m, the latter of which he qualified for State, the former, barely squeaking into the 4:20’s
All in all, a silent contributor to a great team who will very soon come into his own
- It’s a great setup, run with and chase a runner yet to be mentioned, have guys like Brady Heron, Brock Malaikal, Brandon Latta, and David Whitaker to push you – then as a sophomore, junior, or senior, rise to the forefront of Michigan racing
