I think this record is freaking unreal but all these high schoolers going in pro races is kinda wild imo. Sorta defeats the purpose of HS running but congratulations to him. Guess this is a new era of running. We all kinda expect this to happen when every single race you run in is versus pros as a high schooler.
I really like it actually. There are 18 year old Africans running Diamond Leagues, but we want to make sure our high schoolers are only competing against each other. Same reason that it's stupid to get mad at them not going to State: If they're better than their competition, let them race better competition. Literally what does anyone gain by not letting high schoolers compete in open races? We already have a separate category for HS only race record, and literally no one cares about it. Is it Martin in the mile, GF in the 2 mile, and Derrick in the 5k?
