This guy's track times don't align with his xc times. What's up.
He is a distance baller to say the least. 2:02, 4:23, and 9:14 show he is fairly distance oriented. Especially since that was after taking 11th at FLN.
Those are the PRs of a mere mortal. His Mt. Sac time suggests he can run 4:05/8:40 or even faster.

He ran 14:28 for 5000 as a sophomore. He'll run 8:40 before he graduates...
I understand the course is slightly easier than in prior years, but 14:10 at Mt. SAC is ridiculous. Kid is a jr from Flagstaff. Anyone know anything about his background/training?
A long time ago I was a freshman in high school and saw this guy named Jeff Nelson run in the Sweeps at Mt SAC.....back in the days where school size didn't matter and the Sweeps was really the Sweeps. Nelson ran away from Paul Medvin and guys from Eugene South all while laughing as he easily strode away from them. Back then, Mt SAC was not at all manicured the way it was in the last 20-25 years as one had to really watch for rocks and uneven terrain. What I saw on video yesterday reminded me much of that. 14:10 is ridiculous and with Mt SAC Invite being so close to CIF and a lot of coaches not wanting to have their runners run the course three times in 5 weeks, I just don't know if that record will be touched for quite a while. Just spectacular....that next Spring Nelson (1979) ran 8:36 for 2 miles being the first high schooler under 8:40. Let's see what this kid does.
