2021 Rankings: County Week – Girls


A few notes:

  • These are for FUN. 
  • These are all based on the times people have run during the season, not influenced by the past or the pre-season, not judged via any bias on my part.  If you somehow think I have it out for you, please let me assure you that is NOT the case.
  • I’ve instituted the HOBBS KESSLER RULE
    • Last year, with the many dual meets and the top runners cruising through those, their average rating suffered.  To account for that, I eliminated the bottom half of a runner’s ratings.
    • This year, with less duals, still wanting to score mid-week meets, the rule still applies, but amended a bit.  I’m taking the upper 2/3 of a runner’s ratings (rounding to the nearest whole number).  So, if someone has run 5 races, I’m taking their best 3.  8 races, their best 5.
  • The INJURY RULE is in full effect. I hate this rule, but it’s necessary. If a runner doesn’t have a result in the past 30 days, they’re eliminated from the rankings. The second that runner competes again, they’re back in.
  • Currently, there are about 6500 girls rated.  In a typical year, this will constitute a good 90+% of the girls that are competing.  I’m not sure if team numbers are down, I know coaches seemed to think that was the case in the preseason. 
  • The team rankings are based on a hypothetical meet between all teams in a division or in the state.
  • There will be cases where Team A beats Team B in a meet, but Team B is ranked ahead of Team A.  Not all the time, but this is often because Team B was missing a runner.  Or the meet size matters, Team A has a weaker 5th runner that doesn’t stack up as well against the entire division. We’re also getting to the point in the season where cumulative results matter, but I try to balance that with giving more weight to recent meets.
  • The rankings include all the meets listed here, even the ones without links (I’ll post those at some point in time, maybe after the season, maybe this week.  Already burning the candle at both ends here.)
  • Boys will be up tomorrow morning.
  • These are for FUN.  If you don’t like these fun rankings, I’ll send the nastiest portapotties ever to your next meet.

PRIMETIME PERFORMERS

Lauren Hunter, Haslett: After missing the 2020 season, her return to the course has seen some highs, lows, and a few learning experiences. This was one of her better efforts, a season best.

Joey Bowman, St. Johns: Over a 30 second PB. His addition to the Redwings has vaulted them into the top-10 discussion.

PRIMETIME PERFORMERS

Carolyn Bennett, North Muskegon: Comparing across conference meets, which often have the same field, you can see how one improves throughout the year. In her three WMC races, she’s gone from 8th to 6th to 4th.

Jude Meldrum-Roy, North Muskegon: Another one along that same pattern, finishing second after two fifths. North Muskegon must be hitting a stride in their training.
