2024 Ratings: Oakland County

Girls Adjustment: -29
Boys Adjustment: -28

As always, these writeups below will shoutout someone or a team that stood out from the race. That may not be the best runner or the winning team. Perhaps a team that surprised, a runner breaking through, or a runner contributing to a team victory. Of course, if you come to me nicely and want to brag about a fellow team/competitor/teammate, let me know, and I’ll try to give them love further down the line.

WELCOME TO CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON

Just as projected, Kyle O’Rourke and the Clarkston boys prevailed. O’Rourke pulled away in the middle mile, opening up a gap that grew to 20 sec. by race end. His fastest time on the course, the fastest winner since 2020, and the first Maverick to win since 2013 (the legend, Brian Kettle). The Wolves had just enough to fend off an aggressive Oxford, freshman Cooper McNaughton coming up huge in the middle of the pack. Fresh off a PR at Hansons, McNaughton was the 3rd freshman finisher in the entire field. With three in the top-10, Oxford had one of the better days relative to expectation. Also gotta love a Jack Dysarz, the senior who moved up 53 spots from last year to place 45th and help the Wildcats finish second.

Four straight came to fruition. In Oakland County history, the second girl to accomplish the feat of four wins in four years (the other – Katie Boyles, 1997-2000). Lucy Cook was her typical patient self, waiting for the bottom of the first hill to open it up. Undaunted and in total control, she cruised to a nearly 20 sec. victory as her Rochester girls rocked the course behind her. The Falcons are looking more and more like a top-5 team in D1, this time buoyed by an outstanding performance from freshman Charlotte Jones. She’s raced twice here at Possum Hollow, dropping more than two minutes in a little over a month. It was also a pleasure to see Linda Lopez showing signs of capitalizing on the potential she showed in middle school. The Dragon sophomore earned her second All-County, 24th as a freshman and 7th this time around.

Championship Season Projections

Started early with the simulations! Maybe I’ll pen another explanation this year, maybe I’ll just continually quote last year’s regional posts. I’m gonna do the latter for now and pray that some free time arises in the next few weeks.

Just as last year and throughout the season, I’m projecting these using race simulations. 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:

Tanner TimeTanner RatingTanner Avg.Tanner StDev.
15:30210  
15:45205  
16:00200  
16:15195  
16:301902007.91
MIXCSR TimeMIXCSR RatingMIXCSR Avg.MIXCSR StDev.
16:09197  
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:

192007.9212.61951.6197.1
202007.9206.31951.6193.9

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.

But always remember, races aren’t run on paper or on a computer. These projections are meant to better our sport, give more attention where little is given. Although I take pride in their accuracy, this endeavor would be quite boring if it were always perfect. I look forward to these being proven wrong and I expect to hear about it as well.

Since this is an election year and if you’re anything like me, following Nate Silver/538/Nate Cohn religiously, you’ll find that election models and speed ratings are very similar! For instance, here’s 538’s national polling average, which would equate to a runner’s average speed rating. Election models weigh polls based on their sample size, margin of error, past biases, and recency. I weigh races based on recency, sample size, and their competitiveness. Election models spit out a forecast, which runs simulations based on the polls, their weights, and other factors. These are essentially a forecast as well, simulations based on weighted average and variability. People get incensed at these statisticians on Twitter and I’m sure kids grumble about me at XC practice. 🙂

I know many of these meets have trophies that are split into divisions, but they’re all run as one single race. It’s a pain to separate, filter, and score those divisions and I’m just getting used to running simulations after 11 months away. So for now, these are scored as they’re run – one race.

2024 Rankings: UP, Homeschool, & Others – Championship Season

Week 3

The above link contains the best explanation of the year.

Week 4

These rankings contain meets through Saturday (9/28). If a runner has had a rated race since September 1st, they’re included (sadly, I have to account for injured athletes). These are for fun and done for free. Enjoy!

Recap

Seeming like it’s all Marquette that I write about, but when you finish 4th at Griak and win Bluejay, it’s all deserved. Vibes and numbers-based, I think they’re the 2nd best team in Michigan right now. In any normal, non-Northville year, the best.

A new arrival to the top-10 is Ironwood, winners in the Baraga Invite. The Red Devils were able to place three seniors under 19. Leading the way has been Zach Smith, hitting the 17’s on each of his last two efforts, hoping to improve on his 9th place D2 finish from 2023.

Looking Forward

Painesdale-Jeffers hoping to secure a Copper Mountain title. The Jets overwhelmed their foes at Ewen-Trout Creek, all varsity runners in the top-11, the kinda form that wins Division 2 titles.

Eastern UP battles between Rudyard and Engadine. Engadine claimed the first one at EUP #1, adjusting to the 4600m distance (due to logging – UP problems), 35-49 over Rudyard. You’ve got another EUP duel and the Rudyard Autumn Classic quick on the horizon.

Recap

Interesting week. At El Harger, Houghton rollllled over Marquette, 26-78. Four in the top seven, pure numbers up front on the way to a substantial victory. Then at Shepherd, the Sentinels’ 3rd-5th girls ran a solid two minutes faster, helping the team place 22nd of 33 in the elite division. Perhaps they tempo’ed at Munising? Anyhow, both performances were indicative of teams capable of winning Division 1.

The largest move came from Chassell, their girls shifting from 14th to 10th. As the weather has turned, so too has Sylvia Aho, racing to two consecutive 21-min. efforts, a good 1-2 minute improvement from her freshman era.

Looking Forward

The big one seems to be the Houghton Invite, which will contain Houghton, Hancock, and Negaunee. Hancock and Negaunee seem to be running similarly, Hancock coming ahead at Mid-Peninsula Conference, Negaunee at Tracy Strom. The Bulldogs are appearing to be a shoe-in for the D2 crown, Negaunee is an underdog for a top-3 spot in D1, but still in contention.

Individual Rankings

Recap

Armelagos to Argeropoulos, I’ve gotta give a shout to my fellow Greek, Peter Argeropoulos. His 16:01 at Shepherd was by far the best performance of his life. Coming into Saturday’s race at Bluejay, his previous best was 16:33. Huge performance to lead his Marquette brethren to victory.

Perhaps the biggest mover was Painesdale-Jeffers’ Landon Larson. He’s recaptured his freshman and sophomore form, the kinda form that finished 2nd in 2022 and won in 2023. Running much of the season in the 18’s, he unleashed a 17:11 to win at Ewen-Trout Creek.

Looking Forward

Finally. FINALLY. Luck has had it that when Gabe Litzner traveled downstate, he’s competed in sections without much elite competition. That changes Saturday in the D1 race at Portage.

Recap

Took awhile, but now Talya Schreiber is contained within the rankings. Her early meets were either too small or mud runs. The waiting was worth it, she’s surely continued her winning form from 2023. In Upper Peninsula action, she’s won 11 consecutive races. Her main competition has been right in the area, Samantha Taylor finishing 12 sec. back at the first EUP Jamboree.

Looking Forward

Pickford’s goin’ to Portage as well. The Panthers are placed in D3, a great spot that Schreiber won’t be overwhelmed and can compete near the front. Currently, I’d have her around 15th-20th in D3. But take in the caveat that she GREATLY outperformed the ratings at MITCA last year.

Homeschool & Other Teams

Homeschool, clubs, and teams not allowed to compete in MHSAA events. Perhaps that’s a little strong on wording, but I’m not sure why schools such as Kensington Woods, Christ the King, and Washtenaw Christian don’t compete at the MHSAA level. They’re clearly schools, they’ve been at it for awhile, and it’s not as if other charter-type or private schools can’t compete. Not stirring up controversy here, just curious on the reasoning!
