Let me explain to you American English: stud kid means he's the best of the best. This has nothing to do with stud breeding of animals, so get your head out of the gutter.

Hopefully not. Why do you wish him to fail?
It’s clearly a troll based on LetsRun making speculations about children instead of just congratulating them.

That's an excellent time regardless - but shouldn't he be at least a sophomore? Article from 2019 above referenced him turning 14 in November 2019 and he was in 8th grade in that article too.

This may surprise you, but some kids are stupid as hell and need to repeat a grade

Now he’s far from being the fastest sophomore in the country

I don't have a dog in this fight, but to be fair, 3rd best sophomore and 18th OA in one of the deepest fields in the country isn't bad.

He has a 25:30 8K. He has trained seriously for 6 years now. 20mpw, supposedly. He looks very developed for a 14-year-old.
Probably he will run D1. I doubt too much more. These hyper-trained young kids are not that impressive because no one else has trained that much at that age. Webb ran 4:06 (equivalent to 14:14 / 23:27) his first season of running.
How much swim training had Webb before his first season of running?

He says he was 7-8 in first grade, but then set the record at age 13 while in 8th grade. Hmmm.
Skipped a grade maybe?
People don't easily remember what age they started 1st grade, usually requires them working backwards with math. Easiest explanation is he got the grade, or the age wrong, not that there is some age cheating afoot.

He’s Currently a freshman at Sonora.
14:37 at Woodridge.
What is it with California and 3 miles? Run 5k and nothing else. At 5k he's not faster than 15:32, when conversion should be about +30 secs.

He was the top soph at Champ sports

True. But technically could be a Junior.

9:03.11 3200 in his first track race coming back from MONO is what the interview said . Not bad for a sophomore

Fast as hell for a tiny school in a pretty small town.
And just down the road Oakdale had guys go 9:09, 9:10, 9:31, 9:48 at the same race. Pretty good for a D3 school

Turned 14 in November 2019. Not a typo from the article. Athletic.net confirms that he ran in 13-14 age group races in both 2018 and 2019. So he turned 14 in 2019. That means he’s 17 years 4 months old right now. People quibble at times re what’s old for a grade, but there’s no room to quibble here—he’s very old for his grade. With birth month distributions, he’s actually older (marginally) than the average junior.
Still a fast time and a talented runner, but running these times at his age aren’t really “let’s post about it on Letsrun”-good.

Where I am, all kids that age are high school SENIORS.

No one was referring to breeding. You obviously don't know how the word is popularly used now. It was an inept choice for a 13 year-old.

No, you should listen to all commentary in the sport. During Ellie Shea's run at New Balance Tollefson even said she's a complete stud.
I understand you are old and a foreigner and English is not your first language. Giving you permission to say "stud" to describe an absolute boss talent.
You are welcome.
