Stepping into the fray with immediate success for the Byron Center Bulldogs has been Jayden Brock. He’s competed in three events this year, his first high school experience on the track, and he’s made an impact in each of those areas. In the 100m, he’s broken 12, in the high jump, he’s been as high as 6’2. But the long jump is the best of that trio. Three competitions, three wins, one of those being 22’3.

Whereas those Mason girls have the team covered, Tyler Baker can score points to match any other team. Thus far in 2023, he’s picked up victories in both hurdle events and both jumps. The Panther Invite itself saw Baker drop 36 points, with two golds and two silvers. His main event over the past three years has been the high jump. He’s qualified for State both in 2021 and 2022, finishing 11^th each time. Is this the year he steps onto the podium?

Into June, past state and after all the dust settles, I plan to do some end of the season “awards”, recognizing the best athletes, just as I do these teams. Holden Van Poppel definitely catches my eye as someone that’s a candidate for all-around athlete. As these are, those will be all numbers-based, but wow his stats are tremendous. 15.37 in the 110h, 43.6 in the 300h, and 21’3 in the long jump. Each of those ranks in the top 20 in Division 3, the high hurdles and long jump are 3^rd in the division.

Braden Prielipp, the defending state champion and likely one of the more unheralded, less talked about athletes is back, rounding into form. He turned the screws late last season, establishing a 3” PR at Regionals, then adding 2” more at State. The result, a 6’9 leap, a state title, nearly setting the state sophomore record. That jump is the highest by an underclassmen in Michigan during the athletic.net era and ranked 6^th amongst sophomores nationwide. This season, he’s ahead of last year’s pace, hitting 6’4 twice, a mark he hadn’t touched in 2022 competition until mid-May. To which new heights can he soar this upcoming championship season?

First year of track as a senior? NBD to Pickford’s David Kozisek. Kosizek has competed in 11 individual events this year, ranging from the 55m indoors to the long jump outdoors, sprinkled in with a few hurdles for good measure. He’s won all but two of those. His best event thus far looks to be the long jump, his 21’4 leap winning the Superior Dome Invite 20+ inches.

Woodhaven’s Maya Justice has been a prodigy for a while. Way back as an 8^th grader in 2021, she went undefeated, even traveling the 2+ hours to Shepherd’s MEGASTAR meet to assert her dominance over the entire state. Her freshman year contained shows of potential, such as a 17’+ wins at Golden Triangle and Region 4, and bouts of disappointment, such as the State Finals. This spring, she’s showed growth from that already impressive freshman self, nearly reaching 19’ as we set up for another monumental Golden Triangle in a few weeks.

She’s been a quick study, quick learner, and in her final two years of high school, has made a tremendous impact on D2 jumps. Lyberty Brandt began competing last year, leaping over 5’ in late April, then winning a Saginaw County title along with 2^nd place finishes at Region 20 and the D2 Finals. In her second year, she catapulted to a 5’7 outdoor opener, then showed that was no fluke with a 5’4 this past weekend. Both are better than any other girl in Division 2.

Addison Hovey is back to her all-around athletic, dominating self. She can sprint, placing high in the WMC and contributing to an All-State 4x100m. She can break ankles, helping lead the Pirates to the state semis on the hardwood. And she can jump, placing 2^nd at last year’s D3 Finals and owning the 2^nd best mark in 2023.

Over the past two years, Marlette’s girls have been a consistent feature in these jump crews. A major factor in their inclusion has been Olivia Findlay. Throughout her career in the jumps, she’s racked up four league and regional titles, three Thumb championships, and four All-States. Could this be the year she adds a state title to her resume? This is as good as she’s ever high jumped in April.

The Upper Peninsula’s best high jumper has made her debut! Faith Spiroff took us by storm as a freshman, grabbing a state title in the high jump, adding a 4^th place in the 200m on top of that. She’s added some speed endurance (66 in the 400m) and is already in peak high jump form, reaching 5’2 on her first time out.

WEEK TWO RANKINGS

Hit the link above to see how your team has (hopefully) moved up.

These rankings include marks loaded onto athleticnet by THURSDAY NIGHT. They include all marks this season, regardless if they’re wind-aided or hand timed. I feel including everything is a better representation of the true rankings, rather than only including the few that would count for an actual record. After the season, I may look to put together a list of the best performances when adjusting for wind conditions.

April has been a PR fest for St. Joe standout Trey McGinnis. The senior has had a storied career – a contributor to a State Champion 4×1, an All-State in the 200m, and 4 individual qualifiers over the past two years. He’s never kicked off the season in the manner he has in 2023, beginning his 100m campaign with a 10.85, his 200m campaign with a 21.63. Both are significant personal bests, a scary proposition for his competitors as he usually gets better as the weather heats up.

There’s one major reason that the Vicksburg Bulldogs occupy the top spot and it’s Michael Wright. The senior has been undefeated this year, commencing his final track season with a 10.73 opener, then vanquishing fellow D2 competition at Hastings with a 22.00. It’s been two years since he truly competed as an individual, his sophomore year largely consisting of times above 11.5 and 23.0.

Following in the footsteps of Bluestreak legend Brock Booth has been Kirby Carsten. The senior was a straight up point accumulator as a junior, contributing to 25 points at the LCAA League Meet. Unfortunately, he was not able to qualify as an individual for State, missing out on a 400m spot by 0.1 seconds. He’s made early steps to make sure that’s not an issue, lowering his personal bests in all events. But what’s most impressive was his performance at the Napoleon Invitational, where he racked up victories in both the 100m and 200m, against competition that he’ll likely see during championship season.

As a freshman, Landon Galea took the rare step of nabbing All-State in the long jump. As a sophomore, he’s decided he’s not satisfied with excellence in just one event area. He’s expanded his repertoire by improving his explosive sprints, lowering his personal best from 11.65 to 11.02, which is currently the top spot in his division. Oh, he still jumps too, thus far undefeated in both the high and long jumps.

I know, races have been few and far between north of the bridge, but when one holds the top spot in the 100m – 400m, they require mention. Sault Ste. Marie’s Carter Oshelski holds all those spots, doing so in a manner that exceeds his All-State efforts in 2022. His best finish at last year’s UP D1 Finals was a 4^th place in the 200m, running a 23.67 into a slight headwind. Already, he’s sub-24 and he’s dropped nearly a second from junior 400m best.
