Back again with another final ranking of an event area. Vaults get their own category, as such, this is simply a listing of the best vaulting crews from 2023. There are no individual lists contained in here, if you’re looking for that, I highly suggest Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org, which is the official listing of the top vaulters.

Tuesday, the running community lost another one much too soon. Calli (Townsend) Newberry was a standout hurdler and athlete at Croswell-Lexington and Hillsdale. At Hillsdale, she wrote for their Hillsdale Collegian, then took her passion back home to cover sports in the Blue Water Area. You can read the social media posts and news articles, her empowerment of athletes and selflessness showed through in her work and interactions with others. I know she had a great impact on the Cros-Lex teams and had uplifting interactions with many of our track athletes. She even fit me into her busy schedule, interviewing me as her young child fell asleep in her lap. Calli leaves behind her parents, two brothers, husband, and her four-month-old girl.

Brenden Welper of the Port Huron Times Herald wrote an excellent piece on Calli.

You can donate to a Meal Train and/or a GoFundMe to help the family out during this trying time.

Continuing on the best crews theme that I’ve done this year, I’ve compiled one final ranking. Same formula as always, recognizing the teams with the best depth in their respective areas.

I want to do individual rankings for each event area. High Jump and Long Jump have competitors that do both, but it isn’t the norm as it might be for throws or hurdles. I won’t put a graphic on social media, but at the end of the post, I’ll have rankings for those that competed in both events.

For an explanation of what I’ve been doing here, click the link below:

INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

If you’d like to check out individual rankings for each event, look to Jeff Hollobaugh’s michtrack.org. His lists are the ones that’ll etch your name down in history. My lists attempt to combine the jumps for those that competed in both jumps.

I hope everyone has recovered both mentally and physically from the draining heat of the State Finals weekend. I know I’ve had three of the best nights of sleep that I’ve had in months. Continuing on the best crews theme that I’ve done this year, I’ve compiled one final ranking. Same formula as always, recognizing the teams with the best depth in their respective areas.

I want to do individual rankings for each event area. High Jump and Long Jump have competitors that do both, but it isn’t the norm as it might be for throws or hurdles. I won’t put a graphic on social media, but at the end of the post, I’ll have rankings for those that competed in both events.

For an explanation of what I’ve been doing here, click the link below:
