Where: Allendale HS, Allendale 

The Course: Flat with some tiny rollers in the back section.  Decent spectator course, should run pretty fair.  Watch out for the bees in the woods! 

What to Watch For:  GRAND HAVEN BOYS.  Probably the biggest darkhorse to upset the party next week.  They should make it through here, but look to see the margin between them and Rockford/Lowell.  Also good to see Seth Norder make his way up here.  A few birdies were in my ear this summer about his talent and we’re seeing that talent come to fruition.   

Cole Weston.  I said this summer that he may be one of the better seniors to never make it to MIS.  Lowell has consistently been a good team this year and Cole looks well-positioned to grab a top-15 spot. 

Allie Arnsman.  We saw it in track, we saw it last fall, she steps up when the lights are on.  She missed a good month there, but returned with a 18:21 at OK Red.   

Who wins the girls team title?  FHC is best through 4, Grand Haven through 5, but Rockford has the best 5-7 by a longshot.

Where: Allendale HS, Allendale 

The Course: Flat with some tiny rollers in the back section.  Decent spectator course, should run pretty fair.  Watch out for the bees in the woods! 

What to Watch For:  Emily Tomes.  This is her time of the year.  She brought it at the OK Gold Conference Meet, can she keep the momentum going? 

Maggie Duba sacrificed her race at State to help Sarah Storey in a time of need.  There is no karma in running, well there damn well should be.  I hope she makes it back. 

I’ve been high on Spring Lake’s girls all season and I feel that not many others are.  They’re young and have been moving up the rankings all year, anxious to see if they have more moves in them. 

Grand Rapids Christian’s youthful boys.  Starting in late September, they’ve made a push to be included in D2’s elite.  St. Johns has showed they’re peaking too, can they both catch the Chelsea/Pinckney/Adrian’s of the world?

Where: Allendale HS, Allendale 

The Course: Flat with some tiny rollers in the back section.  Decent spectator course, should run pretty fair.  Watch out for the bees in the woods! 

What to Watch For:  Stanton Central Montcalm’s freshmen girls.  They’ve been near the front in every race this year, but regionals is a whole new ballgame.  Or is it? 

Are the Kent City girls for real?  I have them higher than most others, largely based on their Kent Ottawa performance.  They have youth, experience, depth, and a history of success. 

Trevor Dornbos.  Through four, Calvin should have enough to pull it out.  He was pulled along to an 18:29 at Mel Hall, and if he continues that upward (or downward?) trajectory, they’re a factor in the D3 race.  I realize saying this puts more pressure on him, but Coach TenKate’s kids always respond to pressure. 

Can Sam Martini challenge for the win?  Like his girls, Sam had an astounding race at Kent Ottawa.
