Who?
can't help with HS times, I'm afraid. the earliest race I have by him is a 2 miles at Corvallis, OR in April 1969, when he would have been 18-years-old. he won in 8:41.6
2 months later he was 4th in the AAU 3 miles in 13:43.0
cheers.
Other than his senior year times, the only other time I can I find is his 5:01 mile in his freshman year of high school.

it turns out there's a thing called the internet so this sort of stuff is not that hard to find. this is what we have for his final year of High School.

I want to apologise for failing to notice that you said, "freshmen and sophomore" in your question, so I blithely posted his senior year results, which you probably already have.
I found this interesting article in Runner's World
in summary it says:
8th grade he ran 1:45 600yds, 3:51 1320 yds
Freshman - 53rd in state x-country, did not break 5:00 for the mile.
Sophomore - 4:31 indoor mile
cheers.
