How the day moved the season: Abigail Avram (Ann Arbor Huron) now projects to qualify out of Region 6 after her 20:17.7. Morgan Scally (White Lake Lakeland), No. 59 in the D1 girls rankings, posted a season best at 19:17.3, and Shiaire Little (Dearborn Heights Robichaud), No. 93 in the D3 girls rankings, logged a personal record and season best at 20:53.2. Olivia Jenney (Bloomfield Hills) also ran a season best at 19:17.2, climbing to No. 112 in the D1 girls rankings, from No. 144 on Sunday. The day produced 66 season bests among the girls and 95 among the boys, and 14 girls and 13 boys reached two rated races, the point where a ranking and a projected finals time begin.
Regions on a course today: Region 5, Region 7, Region 8, Region 6, Region 9 and Region 15.
With 97 meets on the board over the next seven days and 33 of them tomorrow, the calendar stays busy as the postseason approaches.

Unique runners with a given number of races so far this season, by division and sex. Rows shaded from 4 races on: that is where the model has enough races to tell a bad day from a trend, so its predictions firm up. Four races is not a full season; a varsity regular races most weeks from mid-August to the regional. 11952 runners reached 4+ across all of 2025.
