Just look at all of the talent:
Devin Hart: 8:53 for 2 miles/ 14:44 5k (2018)
Sean Dolan: 4:08 1 mile/ 1:49 800 relay split (2018)
Luis Peralta: 1:49.1 800 (2018)
Drew Maher: 1:49.1 800/ 4:08.8 1600 (2018)
Damien Dilcher: 4:11 1600 (2018)
Tim McInerney: 4:10 1600 (2018)
Ray Sallero: 4:10 1600 (2018)
Athing Mu: 2:04 800 (2018)
Abbey Loveys: 4:46 (2018)
Not to mention Sydney McLaughlin came from NJ
As did Robby Andrews and others.
So change my mind, because 18 kids ran 4:15 or faster in the 1600 alone this year
