Finally finished with the summer previews, onto REAL, ACTUAL performances by the great kids making up the sport in our state!

You’re gonna have to bear with me as I build out the 2025 apparatus and how I want the posts to appear this year. There are some areas I think I’ve shored up, getting the math done even quicker, so more time can be spent focused on the athletes. No I have not learned how to program (I never will – sounds boring), everything is still pumped out in trusty ‘ol Excel. The graphics below are from previous years, the plan is to update those over Labor Day weekend.

As always, I’ll do my best to give a few shoutouts on these posts. Early in the season, these will be concentrated on names I don’t immediately recognize or athletes that are running much faster than I had anticipated. If someone’s given love, they probably deserve it, because there’s a ton of dedication that goes into finding those improvements. If you’re a coach/parent/teammate that feels someone deserves a mention, nicely e-mail/message me, and I’ll do my best to write some words about that person.

BRUDER’S BEASTS

Ann Arbor Pioneer Girls

The Purple Crew has always had the frontrunners, but the question mark coming into the year was their depth. With returners such as Bridget Kerber and Nina Moore already running in the low-19’s, a bit of the depth was answered. Couple that with freshmen Laura Forsyth and Kiera Von Blon, already well accustomed to the high school distance, even more was answered. For the final piece, Lizzie Wernimont, an 11^th grader running cross for the first time. It ain’t just two girls to round out their scorers – the Pioneers have plenty of options to pop one in a big spot.

Alma Boys

East Grand Rapids laid down the first impressive D2 performance, now Alma responded. Zeke Baltierra (PR in the win) and Thomas Larson were known qualities, as always the meat of their lineup will be the determining factor of their late-season honors. Early on, the Panthers are on a good path. Personal bests across the board – from the freshman Nico Lebron, to his experienced brother Luca Lebron, then to Samuel Johnson coming off an outstanding freshman year. Kevin Terpstra found his way back to the 16’s and we saw our first Elijah Baltierra appearance. Gonna be a fun one in D2.

Chloe Mazza, Cadillac

Just expounding on the potential she displayed last fall. At the tail end of her freshman season, Mazza busted out consecutive mid-19 performances, both at the Big North Championship and at the Benzie Regional, a nice lil’ 10-day stretch. If the early season evidence is any indicator, that stretch might be elongated. Two 19:3x’s, both here and at Oiler. Mazza’s rise gives the Vikings a formidable top-3 and furthers their strength in a bid for a top D2 finish.

Murphy Wagner, Saginaw Swan Valley

2025 has been a great welcoming back to the fold. Wagner spent much of his sophomore year in the 16’s, qualifying for State here and placing in the top-100 at MIS. Unfortunately, he spent much of his junior year on the sidelines. To commence his senior season, he’s returned to that sophomore form. Time has been dropped in each meet, from a 17:01 at Early Burg (on a course that ran very slow) to now a 16:25 (PR!) yesterday. Good to see this guy back around.

Malynda Lambros, Whitmore Lake

Called it.

Finally finished with the summer previews, onto REAL, ACTUAL performances by the great kids making up the sport in our state!

You’re gonna have to bear with me as I build out the 2025 apparatus and how I want the posts to appear this year. There are some areas I think I’ve shored up, getting the math done even quicker, so more time can be spent focused on the athletes. No I have not learned how to program (I never will – sounds boring), everything is still pumped out in trusty ‘ol Excel. The graphics below are from previous years, the plan is to update those over Labor Day weekend.

As always, I’ll do my best to give a few shoutouts on these posts. Early in the season, these will be concentrated on names I don’t immediately recognize or athletes that are running much faster than I had anticipated. If someone’s given love, they probably deserve it, because there’s a ton of dedication that goes into finding those improvements. If you’re a coach/parent/teammate that feels someone deserves a mention, nicely e-mail/message me, and I’ll do my best to write some words about that person.

Finally finished with the summer previews, onto REAL, ACTUAL performances by the great kids making up the sport in our state!

You’re gonna have to bear with me as I build out the 2025 apparatus and how I want the posts to appear this year. There are some areas I think I’ve shored up, getting the math done even quicker, so more time can be spent focused on the athletes. No I have not learned how to program (I never will – sounds boring), everything is still pumped out in trusty ‘ol Excel. The graphics below are from previous years, the plan is to update those over Labor Day weekend.

As always, I’ll do my best to give a few shoutouts on these posts. Early in the season, these will be concentrated on names I don’t immediately recognize or athletes that are running much faster than I had anticipated. If someone’s given love, they probably deserve it, because there’s a ton of dedication that goes into finding those improvements. If you’re a coach/parent/teammate that feels someone deserves a mention, nicely e-mail/message me, and I’ll do my best to write some words about that person.

The first night race on Bay City Western’s new course. Early returns on this course say it’s a fair track. Hopefully I can get out there someday.

LIGHTING UP THE NIGHT

Elise Barden, Frankenmuth

The best opener that the ‘Muth senior has ever had. In all three of her previous years, Elise had found her way into the 19’s. But also in those three seasons, she had openers that were all above 20:30. A 19:16 opener here gives great hope that she can have the fastest season of her career.

Xavier Solgot, Macomb L’Anse Creuse North

The LCN Crusader had a breakout track season that’s only continuing on this fall. After breaking into the 16’s and placing in the top-10 at the prestigious Macomb County Championship, Xavier embarked on a track season that saw him rise to be the 6^th fastest Michigan freshman in the 3200m. He’s been in the 16’s twice already to start the year, including a 16:12 at Lamplighter that was over a minute quicker than his 2024 time.
