• If you’ve read through these, you’ll know one of my favorite characteristics is a runner’s range, and Ian Hill has tons of it
• This spring, he showed that in all three distance events, he has the capability of placing high and/or winning a state meet
• He’s shown glimpses of this greatness in the past two years of cross country
  • As a sophomore, a 16:10 at Portage and 30^th place at MIS
  • As a junior, a little more consistency and once again, a very high finish at MIS
• But he really came into his own in track, starting in indoor with a 5^th place finish at the MITS 3200m
• And that continued into outdoor, where he dueled the best West Michigan has to offer
  • His 1:56 came in a victory over West Catholic mid-distance star Quinton Bauer
  • His 4:18 in an incredible final 100m with Parker Lambers
• All in all, look for those gains on the track to have a positive impact on his cross country performance

• On the first Saturday in June came a feat a long time coming for Madelyn, her first state title
• She’s been through a lot, namely a DNF in the 2019 State Meet
• She’s seen other area girls win individual titles and team titles, but not her, until she prevailed in the final 300m over Emma Squires and claimed one for herself
• Madelyn’s been great for her whole career, with 6 sub-18’s and Top-10 finishes in 2018 and 2020
• I feel she turned a corner late last fall, nearly equaling her PB at the Meet of Champions (17:44) and then dropping her 3200m best at Bluejay Elite
• That momentum will carry over into the coming months where she’ll take that winning experience and hope to repeat it in early November
