What people should continue to realize, is that once a young runner hits a certain fitness level and standard, there isn't much drop off. You can always expect them to be near or at that performance level. Which is why every great prodigy has run Division 1 - Brandon Miller (1:51 at 14); Cas Loxsom (1:51 at 14); Katelyn Tuohy (9:58 at 15); Jim Ryun; Jorge Torres; Kelsey Chmiel; the Pings; the list goes on and on..

I desire posts like this. He is normal age for his grade. Secondly, post a stste where he would be old for his grade rather than falsely claiming he would be old where you live. You must be in a commune of home schooled children..

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.

Also: "a man with multiple sexual partners".
Yeah - great choice for a 13-year old boy.

Yes. I already knew the answer. That's why I don't like when people post that a November birthday makes a kid old.

It’s not the month that makes him old. It’s the year.

9:03.11 3200 in his first track race coming back from MONO is what the interview said . Not bad for a sophomore
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.
He has a chance to crack the mythical barrier of College eligibility as a 30 year old if he plays his cards right and selects byu.

Didn't he turn 17 in November? That is the proper age. Had he turned 17 in May, he would be in the wrong grade. So yes it is the month.

I wonder what he will be like XC and T&F wise when he is a senior in high school?
He'll break
This is always the prediction. It really depends if they like what they are doing period. I have a 8thgrade/14y/o (on team) who just ran sub 16 for 5k. Shocking. He is as mentally healthy as anyone you would ever see. Just runs, doesnt overthink it. Which of course is easy to do when you have a ton of talent. But 15 low as an 8th grader with 20MPW is next level. I didnt know anyone could run that fast at any age on 20MPW. Needless to say we suspect lots of Xtraining no?

Or...in the real world where nobody ever uses the term for humans in that manner---stud: you are really good at what you do. Join us in the real world. Every football recruit i have ever read about is referred to as a stud. There is zero "creepy" about stud.

Yes. As a sophomore. So he turns 19 2 months into his senior year. Tell me a state where that’s not old for a grade.

In Minnesota you can still participate in HS sports when you are 19. But when you are 20, you cannot. If CA rules are the same, Holman will be able to participate all the way through the end of senior year
Izaiah Stuery was 20 during senior track season so he could not participate

He's not understanding American English. It's okay. He doesn't understand many running terminologies and slang/current day reality.

Still old for the class year. Not questioning his eligibility. But when we are talking about how good a time is someone, it’s misleading to say “wow this is a great time for a SOPHOMORE!” when in 99% of kids his age are juniors. This is why age matters.

The dictionary refers to popular usage. That's the wider world, outside the locker room. But I don't expect footballers to have that degree of awareness. Nor runners, it appears.

Merriam-Webster is an American online dictionary. So what exactly is your authority for American English?
