2024 Division 4 Finals: Ratings & Stats

Division 4 Projections

What did we initially write?

Hillsdale Academy is far and away the favorite. The Colts have returned four of their five scorers and five of their varsity runners from 2023’s state championship. This fall, they’ve taken part in three meets with a decent range of D4 competition: Holly, Portage, and Class D. Each were significant victories. Fast and deep, they’ve shown the ability to place all scorers in the low-17’s or faster.

Following a rough showing at Spartan, Holland Calvary Christian has been able to move up and then stabilize. Perhaps the greatest example of that stability comes again from Portage, where the Crusaders packed up in the mid-17’s, opening up a 40-point gap on the rest of the D4 field.

These two teams are the overwhelming favorites to grab spots on the podium. Beyond the two, it appears that 3rd thru 9th places are up for grabs, then a few teams will be in contention for the 10th spot.

What went down?

As projected, Hillsdale Academy’s Colts prevailed, winning their second consecutive title and 3rd in 4 years. Although not as large as projected, the gap was significant, 40 points. The Colts dominated the race from the outset, hovering near 100 points at each mile split, while other teams were hovering around 200 for the first few miles. Their top four all secured personal or season bests. James Rahe stepped into the 3rd spot, hitting his first ever sub-17. Grayson Rorick and Reece Poole each grabbed their third consecutive All-State.

Just as they had at Spartan, Holland Calvary Christian packed up, moved up, and trophied up. The Crusaders were in 7th place at the mile, 3rd at two, then moved into 2nd at the finish. Personal bests or season bests from their top-6, all of those 6 under 17:30. That’s two straight trophies for these young Crusaders, perhaps taking that next step in the coming years. The 3rd-9th spots were indeed all up for grabs. All teams that were projected in the top-9 were able to find their way into that placing, and we had a little surprise in 10th, Petoskey St. Michael. The Guardians, along with Webberville and Dryden, were one of three teams to finish ahead of their projected range.

What did we initially write?

Another returning champion that is in the driver’s seat. Whitmore Lake lost a three-time All-Stater from their 2023 squad and has had girls step up in her absence. The Trojans are unafraid of competition, traveling to Shepherd on multiple occasions to face off against teams from higher divisions. At Portage and Holly, they stuck to their own division, walking away with victories at each spot.

If the Trojans were to fall, likely contenders are Hillsdale Academy and Bridgman. The two squads placed within three points of each other at Portage and have each shown signs that they’re capable of pulling an upset. For the Bees, it was Christian Comet; the Colts, Region 34. Those two races saw the teams place all scorers under 21:30, which would give the hope that they can create enough of a gap on Whitmore Lake’s depth.

I love the combinations of teams that could get on the podium. The most intriguing is Auburn Hills Oakland Christian. Their regional course ran about as fair as one can imagine, yet the Lancer trio of frontrunners were able to slip under 20-flat. Math could work out in their favor if their score through three is low enough.

What went down?

As expected, Whitmore Lake scored between 100-150 points and won another state title. Unexpected, however, was the gap. Projections had the Trojans at 135 points, clear of 2nd place by nearly 35 points. But not so! If the Trojans had hit their 135 projected points, 2nd place would be in the cards. Kaylie Livingston, Elodie Weaver, and Carina Burchi all did their All-State or State Champion work, which are great in an individual sense, but not as impactful in the team scoring. The 4th and 5th spots were huge, Sofia Robertson drawing from years of championship experience and Malynda Lambros finding a 40+ second PR. Lambros was projected well above 100th place and finished 63rd. I guess when you train with these high performers all season, you gain the confidence that you too can perform on the big stage.

The Trojans needed to perform on the big stage because Auburn Hills Oakland Christian sure did. The preview laid out a scenario where the Lancer top-three scored low enough to inflict some real damage. Through their top-three, Oakland Christian was right there. Through their top-four, Oakland Christian was right there. Senior Bridget Miller was a great factor in the Lancer uprising, dropping nearly a minute from her previous best. These OC girls continually improved throughout the season, culminating in a magical finish at the State Finals.

Overall, 25 of the 27 teams finished within their projected range.

What did we initially write?

The experience gained from track titles, the endurance gained from ultras, Marek Butkiewicz hit the season blazing and hasn’t let up. Butkiewicz took an early loss at Michigan Catholic against D2’s Colin Murray and has been winning ever since. The times have come too – 15:27 at Otsego, 15:24 at Portage, and 15:11 at Gabriel Richard. He’s a solid favorite.

If there is someone to compete with Marek, it’s Abenezer Cerone. Last year’s 3rd place finisher has won quite a bit himself – at Hansons, Brooks, and a 2nd consecutive regional championship. He’s also faced off against stronger competition, placing 7th in the ever-tough Oakland County Championship. His time there was 16:34, 27 sec. faster than 2023 under similar conditions. A definite candidate to run in the mid-15’s on Saturday.

What went down?

Well, the first two spots played out as projected. Marek Butkiewicz opened up a 5 sec. gap at the mile, 15 at two, before cruising to a 15:09. The time was a minor personal best, just barely eking out his Gabriel Richard performance. These State Finals were the culmination of a season that contained 13 straight victories, a campaign that established Butkiewicz as one of the faster juniors in the state. Expect more in 2025, as the endurance king has just mastered the 100k distance, hitting a 2+ hour PR in the Black Canyon 100k.

Solidly in second was Abenezer Cerone. Cerone led a small pack through a mile, opened a bit of a gap through two, then affirmatively nailed a runner-up finish. His 15:40 was his 4th sub-16 of the year and second consecutive top-three placement.

As far as projected All-Staters go, 25 of the 30 were correctly predicted. The five that pulled off minor and major upsets on their way to the podium were:

Matthew Pasiak (2%) – Pasiak showed out as an upperclassman. After two seasons where his races culminated at regionals, these past two have ended with top-50 finishes at State. He ran into the 16’s as a junior, but until State, hadn’t matched that mark as a senior. Hitting 5:11 at the mile had to be a shock, but he didn’t let the moment overcome him, finishing in 25th.

Russell Vandermus (3%) – what a way to go out as a senior. First sub-17 ever, 26 places higher than he’s ever finished at the State Finals. Splitting almost even splits allowed Vandermus to move from 56th at the mile to 32nd at two, and surely conserved enough energy to help onto the 30th spot through the line.  

Zack Becker (19%) – has transformed from a kid who, for a majority of his sophomore year, was well above 20-flat. Two short years later, he’d improved to the point where he could run in the 17’s pretty consistently. That is, until MIS, where a 30 second personal best awaited.

Carson Burgess (26%) – he’s been here before, placing 30th a year ago. This time around, he wasn’t just scraping his way onto the podium, he comfortably made it. Projected 34th, finished 19th. Thumb kids had a strong day at November’s Finals.

Lincoln Laansma (28%) – the 9th grade stage ain’t too big for Lincoln. No doubt in assistance was running here as an 8th grader. Fresh off a sub-17 at Region 31, Laansma threw himself into the mix early, then masterfully moved up through the race to finish in 27th.

What did we initially write?

Over the past two years, Kaylie Livingston has displayed a wonderful ability to remain undaunted by the circumstances. Traveling here and there, running non-descript conference meets, heading to the indoor track in the middle of basketball season. Through this, she’s picked up a track title, indoor title, and placed 2nd here last year. She’s been the class of D4 this time, running into the 17’s in five of her past seven meets. She’s likely the favorite.

Allie Nowak and Libby Smith are two others to watch. Nowak is lightly raced, but she’s well used to these championship races, having won one of her own during track. Smith has been consistently rising over the course of the season, hitting the mid-18’s in five of her past six efforts.

What went down?

A year after taking her lumps and learning her lessons, Kaylie Livingston was back to earn her first cross title. Livingston dominated in her usual wire-to-wire fashion, opening up a 10+ second difference in the first mile. That lead extended to nearly 30 sec. at two, enough of a cushion to hold off the girls battling for the second spot.

That runner-up finish was claimed by a girl that was no stranger to the stage, Eliza Keith. Eliza can conquer all distances, her track races ranging from 200m all the way the 3200m. Her cross career had been highlighted by a runner-up finish here in 2022 and supplemented with All-States the other two years. Drawing from her speed on the oval and championship experience, Keith was able to move up two spots from mile two to mile three, then sprint home in the 7th fastest kick in D4.

The pre-race projections nailed all but six of the All-Staters. Those six took various routes to get on the stage, each worthy of their momentous accomplishment. Hitting it against the odds were:

Katie Sweeney (2%) – no stranger to this moment, having placed 25th here in 2023. But her season to this point didn’t predict another All-State finish. Her 19:40 here was a personal best of 10 seconds and a 40+ second season best.

Kelcie Pung (13%) – incredibly patient with her metronomic pacing. Her 19:53 equated to a 6:24 pace and her furthest deviation from that was a 6:31 second mile. The strategy paid off, as Pung moved 24 places from mile one to the finish.

Caroline Roberts (18%) – the Roberts girls have had a history of State Finals triumphs. They also possess a little speed, Caroline flashing hers in the final tenth of a mile, passing two girls to move from 31st to 29th. The fastest kick of the day in D4!

Cara Prusakiewicz (22%) – the ratings were probably a little too unfair to those from the Wagener Park regional. Looking back, her victory there was a sure precursor of State success. Two straight sub-20’s to cap off her junior year.

Adrienne Mitchell (34%) – has shown a tendency to perform her best at season’s end. At the conclusion of her freshman year, Adrienne ran a personal best at State. The same scenario occurred this year, where a 17 sec. PB earned her the final All-State spot.

Raley Keith (36%) – if you had seen her late season movement, probably the least surprising. After being well above 20:00 for her entire career, ripped off three straight 19 min. performances, before unleashing a 19:17 at State. If you’re a college coach reading this far, she may be your diamond in the rough in the class of ’26.

2024 Upper Peninsula State Finals: Ratings & Stats

Much time has passed since the Upper Peninsula Finals (nearly two months!) and the Lower Peninsula Finals (6+ weeks). Many events have occurred:

  • I took a long nap
  • MITCA was attended and we were back to our winning ways
  • Then I slept some more
  • The entire Lions defense went on the IR
  • Danny Wolf and Vlad Goldin became a lethal PnR combination
  • Ryan Day and his Buckeyes folded again
  • The Pistons *almost* made the NBA Cup playoffs
  • Bills were paid, a house maintained, work was worked

Okay, much of that is sports-related. What do coaches always preach? Stress + rest = growth. In terms of this site and the social media, stress comes in the form of non-stop work from April-early November. In terms of life, rest comes from a period away where enjoyable sports moments occur.

I’m ready to get back in the game.

Division One

Boys

Hardly a surprise from the top teams. Marquette was their projected, dominant self. The Sentinels placed all seven varsity runners in the top-10, all of those were sub-16:30 as well. This is a team that showed it’s one of Michigan’s best – by my estimation, a top-5 team in the entire state, backed by outstanding results at Griak, Spartan, and Bluejay.

The projections nailed everyone expected to be in the top-10. One surprise, however, was Marquette’s Lucas Ballard. Ballard saved his best material for the end of the year, nearly breaking 16:00 here and at MITCA. A title favorite a few years down the line?

Girls

What was thought to be the closest race of the day was just that. A 2-point difference separated Marquette and Houghton. The Sentinels prevailed in the final miles, buoyed by moves from Monet Argeropoulos and Ella Fure. When combined, the two were responsible for the loss of 5 points from the 2-mile mark on, enough substance to earn a victory for the Red n’ White. While the Sentinel boys team has garnered much deserved recognition, don’t sleep on this girls squad that’s won three consecutive UP D1 titles.

Two major moves into the top-10. Monet Argeropoulos has had a history of excellent Finals appearances, her 6th place finish here was her third straight top-10 placing. Nori Korsman has excelled in field events – earning All-State honors in the Pole Vault, Long Jump, and High Jump. Her 20:58 in Munising adds to her Miner legacy.

Division Two

Boys

Painesdale-Jeffers was a considerable favorite coming into the race and they mightily backed up those expectations. Just as Marquette, the Jets were loaded up front, with five scorers in the top-11. This is now four consecutive titles for the Jets, second only to Marquette for the longest ongoing title streak.

Unfortunately, Munising was missing a few boys from earlier in the season, which left an opportunity for another team to grab second place. Rudyard was projected third with an outside shot at the top-two. The Bulldogs seized the opportunity, with Camron Willis providing a huge boost, placing 10 spots ahead of his projection.

Two additions to the top-10 that the projections didn’t see coming – Joey Lauzon and Tage Rajala. The projections should’ve looked to the past, where evidence had shown that Lauzon brought his best stuff on State day, October’s race was his fourth consecutive top-10 spot. Added insurance for Painesdale-Jeffers came in the form of Rajala, who unleashed a nearly 30 sec. personal best.

Girls

Four straight for Hancock, the longest streak of any girls team from any division. Things went about as expected up front. For the runner-up position, I had anticipated a little tighter of a matchup. Two Baraga freshmen turned in outstanding performances, with Princess Pierre and Aybri Sorenson nabbing PRs.

Pierre’s PR was pretty dang significant, as she skipped right over the 22’s (23:01 to 21:36). In the season record realm, Dayne Behning put together a solid one as well. Her previous five races had been above 24-flat, then she was able to close the year with a 23:12.

Division Three

Boys

The FIRST STATE TITLE in Engadine Boys XC history. Unfazed by the added pressure, the Eagles were able to win by the exact margin as what was projected. Of course, a freshman such as Nate Stielstra was a major help. Three of his four October races (including this one) were of the sub-19 variety, the improvement needed to push Engadine into the lead position.

Stielstra was the main surprise. I also want to shout out Kalvin Kytta, a recent Michigan Tech commit. After a near-undefeated season in UP action that included a win here, Kalvin sought to drop some serious time. Following his state title, Kalvin ran a 15:46 in a trail race and then slammed down another sub-16 at MITCA. I’d say the Huskies are receiving a recruit who will be a factor in the GLIAC and D2 for years to come.

Girls

As I scan the record books, not even a first nor even a second for Ewen-Trout Creek. Until this year, obviously, where the Panthers were able to nearly half the score of the closest competitor. The Panthers packed up, their first four coming in within 40 seconds of one another, and more importantly, hitting the line from 6th to 10th in the team standings.

Dropping into the standings where not expected was the runner-up Engadine. The Eagles showed up with four girls that hadn’t before competed. Three of those girls scored and of their scorers, four weren’t even in high school. Perhaps the girls can join their boys as champions in the future?

The top-10 went about as expected, except for young Alyssa Decremer. What a day to have the best performance of the season! The 8th grader not only contributed to her team’s title, but also ripped a 75+ second personal best.

Perfectly Paced

the added difference from each mile split and one’s overall pace

I wasn’t there, so your guess is as good as mine for why the boys raced to more even splits than the girls. Perhaps the course conditions deteriorated later in the day?

The Actual Ratings

The Boys Adjustment was +30, the Girls Adjustment +31. In many cases, this would mean a course that runs fast or could be short of 5000m (I don’t really care if that’s the case as long as it’s not egregious). For the Upper Peninsula, I’d guess this large adjustment is more about the magnitude of the meet and many of these kids running in a major competition for the first time.

2024 State Finals: Projections vs. Reality

Finally caught up on sleep, time to start looking back on the State Finals.

The first installment are how the projections (D1, D2, D3, D4) fared against the cold-hearted truth of REALITY.

I noted here that I expected to be correct on 7 of the 8 champions, ~13 of the 16 podium teams, and (I guess I didn’t write this) 74 of the 80 top-10 teams. In reality, the projections nailed all 8 champions, 10 of the 16 podium teams, and 71 of the 80 top-10 teams.

In particular, they struggled with 2nd place teams, my theory being that teams in contention, but not favorites, press so hard that they risk suboptimal performances. This allows the patient, well-paced teams to swoop in and earn a trophy. On my end, I think I have to increase the uncertainty to adjust for uncertain conditions and outstanding performances. Although many Michigan kids race in large invites, nothing quite compares to a race track with towering stands, looming over a state title environment. This reflects too in the projected place ranges, where 82% of teams were within the bounds listed beforehand. I’d hope to be more around 90% in the future.

One metric that I track from year to year is the place difference between the projections and reality. In 2023, I had the lowest absolute difference to that point, a 2.23 place difference per team. This year’s version improved on that, standing at an average difference of 2.06 places.

Bad news for you guys, these are getting a little more predictive, so I’m gonna keep doing this in 2025.

There will be more to come on the great individual and team performances of the day.
