Week 7 XC Rankings

Welcome to the inagural Michigan MileSplit rankings. To acheive these rankings, a XC Team Rankings was run including all the teams in each division and scored like a regular cross country meet.

 

Our top 10 athletes from each division were pulled in from our XC Individual Rankings.

 

Please note that there are currently not enough results from the Upper Peninsula to create rankings. We will do our best to get results, but this will most likely have to wait until after the Upper Peninsula State Meet on October 26.

Teams

RK (LW) Team Head Coach
1 (-) Northville Nancy Smith
Having just a 47 second split between #1-5 is really impressive for any team searching for a championship. If numbers 3-5 can move up together, it will be tough for anyone to step in front of the Mustangs.
2 (-) Birmingham Seaholm Jeff Devantier
3 (-) Saline Michael Smith
4 (-) Hudsonville Kevin Conkel
5 (-) Rockford Ben Watson
6 (-) Grosse Pointe South Stephen Zaranek

1 (-) Waterford Mott Ryan Robinson
A ridiculous 1-2 punch with junior Ryan Robinson leading the way and contending for an individual state championship in the process. Should be a great match-up against unranked Highland Milford this weekend at Oakland County Championships.

Three state titles and three runner-ups over the last 10 years means that GRC will always be in the hunt when it matters. They also have a really nice group of runners that goes all the way to their #7.

Absolutely ridiculous that their top 5 are as close as they are considering their #1, Cody Smith, is sub-16. With their #2 knicking on the door of sub-16, they look to be in great shape heading into October.

I think my heart-skipped once I looked at this team. A 10 second difference between #1-5?! With #6 just one second behind. I'm picturing Benzie pulling a "Wisconsin" and having a line of guys finish all together at any meet they go to. Wow.

This is the oddest way I have ever seen a team get the #1 ranking. Two domiant runners, a good #3, and then #4 & 5 holding on for dear life. But hey, #1 is #1.

All five under 18 is great, and even better #1-4 are seperated by just 12 seconds. That makes for great pack-running that is crucial in winning the big meets.
