1.Scott Quiring - Q
The Godfather of the off road Michigan Scene.  The man that everyone chased for many years.  Although not racing any longer, he is still representing with his support and bikes throughout the Scene.  The "seed was planted" and hence forth we grew.

2.Jeff Weinert - The Little Pony
2001 Master's National Champion.
Five time Michigan State Cyclocross Champion.
The "Pablo Picasso" of the Michigan Cyclocross Scene.  He doesn't have the raw watts of many others, but boy can he paint a pretty picture when feeling the mood.

3.Jon Card - The Ace of Spades
Two time Michigan State Cyclocross Champion.
Four time Ohio State Cyclocross Champion.
Four time state time trial Champion.
Two time state road race Champion.
Multiple National Master's podium awards.
Getting "long in the tooth" at nearly 50, but still one hard ass mo' fo' with the sweetest team kit around.  One word...Style.

4.Jer Walker - Too White
If ever a rider lived for the sport of cyclocross, it was Too White himself.
He learned the art from the Pony and the training, sacrifice and discipline from the Ace. Can you think of a better combination.
Remember the movie scene in Conan the Barbarian where all of the kids died off pushing the stone wheel and only Conan lived.  When people ask how in the heck this once pudgy, lower than normal talent won a state championship, tell them that he'd survived the "stone wheel" of tutelage under the Pony and Ace.  'Nuff said.

5.Rob Foshag - The Evil Looking Dude
You can't say that being a disciple of the Ace and riding the Blue Wave can be a bad thing.  But that Evil Looking Dude melted the snow and ice and came good on a frigid day in December to make all of the nay sayers wonder.  Who says that nice guys don't finish first?

6.Mike Wissink - Wiz
The next coming.  For a while I think that everyone actually believed that the Pony and Ace dynasty couldn't be broken, then along came Wiz to create his own dynasty.  His slow and steady rise to the top lets you know that no dope check is needed and his nice demeanor allowed us to cheer against his predecessors.  Unfortunately, sometimes there's more to winning than jut pedaling and it seems that the burdon of victories weighed too heavily and ended his dynasty all too soon.

7.Mark Parmelee - Parma Chicken
All champions will be on this list, but will the "one hit" season be enough to keep his name on the eternal "lips" of the Scene?  Most insiders might say he's too good to not have another, but only time will tell if he can repeat the year of "breathing easy".

8.Sven Baumann - The Silent Killer
Sometimes watts just plain wins and we haven't seen this many numbers since the old UCI Springfield Oaks days rolled into one package.  Vegas odds has another one in the books for 2012, but time will tell the tale come Sunday.

9.Anne Schwartz - Queen Anne
Called the "Old Bird", but with high praise. Many young 'uns will come, but they'll never hold the respect of Queen Anne. Thanks for showing those future starlings the path of righteousness.

10.Kelly Paterson - Melly Kelly
Sometimes the brightest stars pour vibrant, but for only a brief spell.  And boy could she cast a spell.  A true a champion through and through.

11.Marne Smiley - mmMarne
Her low key demeanor would allow the mind to easily forget that she captured the crown in her own right.  Can she add another diamond to the crown on Sunday.

12.Mike Simonson SIMONSTER
If he chose to focus on cyclocross (and could keep his rigs in one piece) he may have garnered a state championship by now.  Ask any of the above men on the list and those that say that he doesn't provide a bit of fear is just plain lying. Maybe one day he'll choose to race through December and take one home for the fire place.

13.Tom Burke RK
It would be a shame if the Road King was to be left off of the Champions list, but time is running out for the quite one.  Maybe a few less racing days would give him the edge that it takes to garner the final step up, but can he change his ways this late to the party.

14.Brent Bookwalter the One
His career was too young while on the Scene to be called a State Champion, but obviously he was the rawest talent this Scene had witnessed during his early youth.  Much thanks to Mr. Bookwalter for representing on the World's stage.

15.MacKenzie Woodring BIGRING
Most likely the long term air to the throne (if she stays in the Scene and doesn't get bored), but she must get the crown before assuming the throne.
