Connor MF Burns 13:37.30 HSR

I'm not even going to entertain the NCAA comment, but unfortunately I'll bite at the one before that.

Who in high school right now is "objectively" better than Leo Young?

The only thing missing on Leo's resume is a sub 4 mile and a top time in either the 3200/two mile or 5K. He's already run a sub 3:40 1500 and was 16th at the U20 XC WC. I think both he and Lex will run the mile at Nike Outdoors. I haven't heard of any meets lined up for them between now and then although I hope we'll hear something. Too bad they couldn't run the Track Fest 5K (prom commitment).

"I want there to be one (1) thread about fast high school running that doesn't mention Rudy Chapa's record. No one under the age of 40 cares. The high school kids certainly don't. It's an uncontested distance. Please stop talking about it in every thread, because no, Connor Burns, Leo Young, nor anyone else will run the 10k until college."

One or Both of those brothers should be able to run in the low 13:30's or high 13:20's at this point and I know Leo could take down Chapa's 10k Record if he really focused on doing so, but does he care to try? Let's hear directly what he or they have to say on the matter?

Burns and Burnbaum are currently high school’s top dogs. But don’t sleep on Gorze, lol.

We'll see.

Maybe a high school mile champion will be crowned June 1 at the HOKA Festival of Miles.

Absolutely no disrespect to Simeon or Mr Burns,v but the kid from North Carolina that just broke 4 minutes in the mile might have something to say about that? And the kid from Iowa is right there. Then there's the Youngs and Aaron . Tyrone, with a good night's sleep 😴 , great 5k but the others are better milers. What a year for high schoolers.

And How about the 1:48 800 kid from back east? And when all is said and done Xai Ricks might be the next 800 meter record holder down the line.

Lex is going for the record on a later date. It's only May 6th

I am assuming that you’re not aware that current high school 13:45 5K runner Tyrone Gorze actually ran the 10,000m last year in 11th grade – a fantastic 29:29.

Where? When? Thus far the Youngs are committed to Nike Outdoor and that's it. No Festival of Miles, no Brooks. I think they'll post videos of them camping until they show up to Nike.

And, of course, Lindgren ran on a cinder track, in leather spikes. He was unreal.

Except for you...

Good for them for not living their lives for other people.

Agreed. Why not bring up high school HM and marathon records, 15k record, 2k record, steeple record... Chapas time is great no doubt but not comparable to the highly contested mile/3k/2 mile/5k records

Great job but the title needs to read US HS record...he's about 30seconds from the best HSers in the world.

The record should go back to Lindgren

Lindgren ran his times without wearing the best Nike shoes and Nike supplements Daddy Sal had available, and I'm a Rupp fan.

Maybe your generation was soft too, Rupp only went a few ticks faster than Gerry.

No one will remember that Lex Young wasn't in this race.

Meanwhile, the Youngs will also remember what they did at prom, and they're the only ones who need to.
