Track is back and we’re here with more rounds of our Best Crew rankings. These started in 2022 with one version, then in 2023, I used this current method, which was much more efficient, easy to tabulate and calculate. What these aim to do is recognize which teams excel in their various event areas – whether that be jumps, throws, or sprints.
The explanation from 2023 is spot on, so click here if you want to read the recipe for how these are created.
Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:
These contain results uploaded to athletic.net by 10PM Monday (4/15). Hopefully there will be enough UP meets in these next two weeks so that the folks north of the bridge can be covered as well.
If you’d like to delve more into how individual performances relate in a historical sense, please subscribe to Jeff Hollobaugh’s MichTrack Newsletter. Jeff always does an excellent job of recapping our athletes and their individual greatness, along with providing stories and thoughtful anecdotes. These rankings attempt to capture the here and now, but it’s tough for me to do this and shoutout to the great individual marks. So check out the newsletter and learn more about the superb athletes from our state.
Have you noticed that I’m copy/pasting the same intro each time? Well I haven’t had any complaints just yet…

As there are no additional regional qualifying standards for relays (everyone gets to run theirs), I did a little math to find what the equivalent would be. For instance, the state qualifier for the D1 100m is 11.1 and the regional qualifier is 11.5, 3.6% slower. The state qualifying standard for the 4×1 is 43.5, and 45.06 (rounding up to 45.1 to be generous) is 3.6% slower. Here is a chart with an estimated regional qualifier for each relay:

I made the executive decision to include Renaissance’s 4×1 from the Novi Relays. They were officially DQ’ed, but watching the video, I just don’t see it. Since I’m my own boss and not a record-keeper, state authority, or any of that, I can make these judgments! And if anyone has an issue, they’re free to beat them in early June 🙂
