2024 Division 4 Finals Projections

The creative writing juices tapped out after months of writing, this is titled projections instead of preview. Previous iterations of these have had me writing until the wee hours of the night. I want to be my happy self on Saturday, so I’m gonna rely on the narratives written throughout the season and a few paragraphs here.

Just as regionals and other championship meets throughout the year, these projections are done based on thousands of simulated races. How do the simulations work?

Through a season’s worth of speed ratings, one can determine a runner’s average rating and the variability of those ratings. Both those factors are then weighed towards more recent meets, which are then simulated thousands of times using a Monte Carlo analysis (also described by TullyRunners here). Over those thousands of race simulations, one can determine a team’s average place and average score, a runner’s average place, odds on winning, and odds on qualifying.

These are useful in cross country scenarios, where you have consistent runners and those who are a bit more up and down. For example:

16:12196  
16:15195  
16:18194  
16:211931951.58

Jacob at his best might be faster than I in four of the five races during the season. I’d almost never be All-State in Division 1, but he might contend for a top-5 spot or place 60th.

If we did 20 simulations, this is how it might turn out:

I’d win four times, but I’d never have the ability to win a title like he had in Race 18. He’s usually All-State, but may cost his team a title through his effort in Race 7.

The simulations give the possibilities of those scenarios and all the various scoring scripts. A sixth girl that can pop off on any certain day, a reliable boy who always runs 17-flat, you name it. Hopefully, they better elucidate our contenders, qualifiers, and how these races play out over the weekend.

Through the simulated races, you can equate all types of scenarios and groupings. Here are the ones listed:

Projected Place – sorted from lowest projected score to highest projected score
Projected Score – the average score across all the simulated races
Range – 95% of the placings fall within this range
Win % – the chance that team has of winning the meet
Podium % – the chance that team has of placing top-2
Top 10 % – the chance that team finishes within the top-10

BOYS TEAM

Hillsdale Academy is far and away the favorite. The Colts have returned four of their five scorers and five of their varsity runners from 2023’s state championship. This fall, they’ve taken part in three meets with a decent range of D4 competition: Holly, Portage, and Class D. Each were significant victories. Fast and deep, they’ve shown the ability to place all scorers in the low-17’s or faster.

Following a rough showing at Spartan, Holland Calvary Christian has been able to move up and then stabilize. Perhaps the greatest example of that stability comes again from Portage, where the Crusaders packed up in the mid-17’s, opening up a 40-point gap on the rest of the D4 field.

These two teams are the overwhelming favorites to grab spots on the podium. Beyond the two, it appears that 3rd thru 9th places are up for grabs, then a few teams will be in contention for the 10th spot.

GIRLS TEAM

Another returning champion that is in the driver’s seat. Whitmore Lake lost a three-time All-Stater from their 2023 squad and has had girls step up in her absence. The Trojans are unafraid of competition, traveling to Shepherd on multiple occasions to face off against teams from higher divisions. At Portage and Holly, they stuck to their own division, walking away with victories at each spot.

If the Trojans were to fall, likely contenders are Hillsdale Academy and Bridgman. The two squads placed within three points of each other at Portage and have each shown signs that they’re capable of pulling an upset. For the Bees, it was Christian Comet; the Colts, Region 34. Those two races saw the teams place all scorers under 21:30, which would give the hope that they can create enough of a gap on Whitmore Lake’s depth.

I love the combinations of teams that could get on the podium. The most intriguing is Auburn Hills Oakland Christian. Their regional course ran about as fair as one can imagine, yet the Lancer trio of frontrunners were able to slip under 20-flat. Math could work out in their favor if their score through three is low enough.

BOYS INDIVIDUAL

The experience gained from track titles, the endurance gained from ultras, Marek Butkiewicz hit the season blazing and hasn’t let up. Butkiewicz took an early loss at Michigan Catholic against D2’s Colin Murray and has been winning ever since. The times have come too – 15:27 at Otsego, 15:24 at Portage, and 15:11 at Gabriel Richard. He’s a solid favorite.

If there is someone to compete with Marek, it’s Abenezer Cerone. Last year’s 3rd place finisher has won quite a bit himself – at Hansons, Brooks, and a 2nd consecutive regional championship. He’s also faced off against stronger competition, placing 7th in the ever-tough Oakland County Championship. His time there was 16:34, 27 sec. faster than 2023 under similar conditions. A definite candidate to run in the mid-15’s on Saturday.

GIRLS INDIVIDUAL

Over the past two years, Kaylie Livingston has displayed a wonderful ability to remain undaunted by the circumstances. Traveling here and there, running non-descript conference meets, heading to the indoor track in the middle of basketball season. Through this, she’s picked up a track title, indoor title, and placed 2nd here last year. She’s been the class of D4 this time, running into the 17’s in five of her past seven meets. She’s likely the favorite.

Allie Nowak and Libby Smith are two others to watch. Nowak is lightly raced, but she’s well used to these championship races, having won one of her own during track. Smith has been consistently rising over the course of the season, hitting the mid-18’s in five of her past six efforts.

2024 Ratings: Willow Regional

Girls Adjustment: +10
Boys Adjustment: +9

A tradition unlike any other: Clinton clutch on Regional Day

MIXCSR VS. REALITY

Man, Clinton comes through every year. This is an tell that they’re well-coached, as the projections don’t aim to project onto the future, just use the past to give as accurate an indicator of where a team currently stands. Hence, they don’t attempt to capture how much a team will improve in their next meet. The Red Wolf regional race was full of improvements, every single varsity runner racing to a seasonal best. Zachary Taylor in particular, had a great one, dropping 30+ seconds from his LCAA Final race.

Other standout efforts include:

Walker Brose, Ann Arbor Huron – with four deserving teams and a fast course, qualifying here was always gonna require one’s best effort. Walker has raced at Willow a ton over the course of his career (I count 11 meets), this 16:14 was the fastest of the bunch.

Elizabeth Lambert, Erie Mason – a totally transformed racer this fall (and really, this month). Sub-22 in all races, a mark she had never hit in 3.5 seasons of competing.

Becca Jud, Salem – she showed this pattern in 2023, a season spent in the 20-21 min. range before a drastic drop at the regional stage. I’m happy to report that this pattern repeated. She gave us a lil’ preview at the KLAA Championship before running a 19:30 here, a season’s best.

At the end of all the regionals, the projections were correct on 197 of the 216 top-three teams. Best mark yet. Also very close to the expected total, which was 198 (adding the percentages of the projected top-threes).

2024 Ratings: Wagener Park Regional

Girls Adjustment: +51
Boys Adjustment: +48

MIXCSR VS. REALITY

The projections expected Marlette to contend for a qualifier, most likely grabbing 3rd. They did NOT expect a vault into second. Tough to pinpoint who stepped up, as all of the Red Raiders hit or exceeded their projected place. One name does stand out, freshman Brayden Kirkpatrick, who broke 20:00 for the first time ever. When I say broke, I really mean shattered, as he’s inches away from finding his way in the 18’s.

Where will Cara Pruakiewicz go next? Her first foray into the regional scene was a 34th place finish as a freshman. She shot into 10th as a sophomore, earning a state qualifier. She made the most of that Finals appearance, one of the rare ones to drop time from Wagener Park to MIS. Breaking 20:00 here, knowing her tendency to improve from week to week and year to year, I’m excited to see where Saturday and the following seasons lead.

Anyhow, I’m at 186 for 204 with regard to projecting the top-three teams.
