i was surprised to see benjamin adams and hayden boaz in the second heat. Didn't Adams run 9:02 at 5000+ feet? Doesn't that convert to like a 8:42? Hayden Boaz ran a 14:13 5k?
No clue how this guy got in. Is there something i'm missing?
It's most likely just a mistake. These aren't heat sheets but entries. The altitude conversions were very generous done by arcadia. I took what I could find for the top 2 heats.

If I counted correctly, there are 39 boys entered. That is too many for a 3200.
They always over-enter the invitational heat. You can see how much it's affected racing over the last few years - the leaders take it out in 60 flat to try and string things out, which ends up sinking their own race.
Kids still need to make their drops. Some of the athletes are entered in 3 invite races. We know they will choose only one, which is why this is the accepted entries list, not the heat sheets. Changes coming...
just high school kids, or anybody. If I was asked what is the most exciting and pure of all of the various levels of sport, I would reply “high school.”
