2026’s Best Hurdle Crews: Final Rankings

Hitting you early with the post-season rankings!

An explanation:

The Best Crews have been a thing around here for the past few years. They take their cues from USTFCCCA’s event squads and the World Athletics scoring system, combining the two ideas in order to compare Michigan’s teams against events in their common areas.

The goal of this is to help recognize the athletes and coaches that create cultures, history, and traditions in their respective event areas. Think about it like this: Minnesota always has great hockey, basketball hoops are nailed to Indiana barns, Texas churns out football talent, every Iowa boy has cauliflower ear. Where in Michigan does hurdling reign supreme? Is there a town where kids learn to shot put before they can tie their shoes?

2023’s explanation goes through much of it, but two things have changed for 2025 (and now, 2026).

  • the Boys 200m points have been re-mathed and edited, as previous versions sold short athletes such as Jeremy Dixon and Jake Machiniak when it came to season end rankings.
  • instead of using a team’s top-four athletes to generate their total for an event, I’m using their top-three. Belleville’s hurdlers are the main reason for this, there’s no way they shouldn’t have been the top D1 squad in 2024. I feel this will better portray a team’s top athletes.

Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

These contain results through the State Finals.

Very simply, one had to have hit a regional qualifier to earn points. If a team had three regional qualifiers, all three earn points. And so on with two and one. For these hurdle crews, the 100/110h and 300h are included.

D1 Qualifiers
D2 Qualifiers
D3 Qualifiers
D4 Qualifiers – which I used for Upper Peninsula athletes and teams

Scroll to the bottom to see which programs have made the top-10 all four years.

The Past Four Years

The Best Crews have been around for five seasons, four in the current format and methodology. I thought I’d look back and see how many crews have made it into the top-10 all four years and who has been ranked #1 more than once. A single year is a great piece of evidence. Multiple years of success and high achievement definitely speak highly of a program’s culture.

Boys

Only four sets of crews have occupied the top rank in all four years. Marquette’s Boys and Girls Distance Crews, Wayland Union’s Girls Vault Crew, and Harper Creek’s Boys Hurdle Crew. Is it just DJ Wood, Evie Mathis, Ella Fure, and Luke Ballard? I think not, it’s the depth, coaching, and culture.

2026’s Best Sprint Crews: Final Rankings

Hitting you early with the post-season rankings!

An explanation:

The Best Crews have been a thing around here for the past few years. They take their cues from USTFCCCA’s event squads and the World Athletics scoring system, combining the two ideas in order to compare Michigan’s teams against events in their common areas.

The goal of this is to help recognize the athletes and coaches that create cultures, history, and traditions in their respective event areas. Think about it like this: Minnesota always has great hockey, basketball hoops are nailed to Indiana barns, Texas churns out football talent, every Iowa boy has cauliflower ear. Where in Michigan does hurdling reign supreme? Is there a town where kids learn to shot put before they can tie their shoes?

2023’s explanation goes through much of it, but two things have changed for 2025 (and now, 2026).

  • the Boys 200m points have been re-mathed and edited, as previous versions sold short athletes such as Jeremy Dixon and Jake Machiniak when it came to season end rankings.
  • instead of using a team’s top-four athletes to generate their total for an event, I’m using their top-three. Belleville’s hurdlers are the main reason for this, there’s no way they shouldn’t have been the top D1 squad in 2024. I feel this will better portray a team’s top athletes.

Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

These contain results through the State Finals.

Very simply, one had to have hit a regional qualifier to earn points. If a team had three regional qualifiers, all three earn points. And so on with two and one. For these sprint crews, the 100m, 200m, 400m, 4×1, 4×2, and 4×4 are all included. That’s a full list of events and these celebrate the teams that excelled in ALL.

D1 Qualifiers
D2 Qualifiers
D3 Qualifiers
D4 Qualifiers – which I used for Upper Peninsula athletes and teams

As each relay team gets a regional entry, these are extrapolations based on the individual RQ’s (from 2025, I didn’t even think I’d be doing these best crews for 2026).

The Past Four Years

The Best Crews have been around for five seasons, four in the current format and methodology. I thought I’d look back and see how many crews have made it into the top-10 all four years and who has been ranked #1 more than once. A single year is a great piece of evidence. Multiple years of success and high achievement definitely speak highly of a program’s culture.
