I think the better rankings would look like this:
1. Noah Breker
2. Sam Scott
3. Andrew Casey
4. Aidan Jones
5. Nick Gilles
6. Elliott McArthur (he finished in front of Charlie Power Thiesen in the first race. Not sure what happened to him here). He was up there in the first mile though.
7. Hamza Mohamed
8. Bryce Stachewicz
9. Adam Lueth
10. Nolan Sutter
11. Hootie Hage (did not race at Griak so it’s kind of hard to decide where to put him. But we can’t move him down much for not racing at Griak)
12. Max Westerlund
13. Cade Sanvik
14. Will Weber
15. Ethan Starfield
I don’t really see the justification for keeping Mcarthur this high. Gilles had been racing all year and consistently been turning in top times. This is mounds views first 5k of the year and Mcarthur clearly thought he could stay w top dogs (4th through mile) but couldn’t - unlike a Gilles who was back the whole race. Ranking him ahead of Mohammed, Stachewicz, Lueth, and Westerlu ddoesn’t make sense. He’s been training hard and couldn’t beat any of them, but because he raced solid against a AA guy in the first 2 days of September he’s 6th?? Don’t get it.
