Regional Previews

• Entered high school as an extreme talent and hasn’t lived that down
• Ran 4:35/9:47 in 8^th grade and has both dropped time and racked up the honors in his first two HS seasons
• You name it: he’s won it.  Saginaw County, Regionals, TVC, Pre-Regionals
• A stress fracture delayed his start to the 2020 XC season and although that hampered his times last year, he still managed to capture a Regional title and nab another All-State award
• Showed some mid-distance prowess this spring, getting below 2:00 in the 800 and 4:24 in the 1600m

• Find yourself a State Meet and you’ll find an Ainsley Workman getting her way to the podium
• No matter what the circumstances or how she got there, Ainsley always seems to step up on the big day
• Even though I know her as a racer, she’s put up some times as well, with 3 straight years spent in the 18’s and multiple 18:3x efforts
• Injuries hindered her track season, but she’s shown speed there too – hitting 5:02 early in her career
• She’ll be an important piece in EGR’s bid to reclaim their state title
