Really? So being part of an NCAA record 4x4 - one that would beat most other countries' teams - is nothing. Keep going guys.
BTW- If 90% of Mead kids do nothing after high school that puts them well ahead of the 99.9% that do nothing from almost every other high school.

No, not Matt Withrow. 4x all american in XC finishing 9th as highest place. And prs of 13:35 and 28:26 in the 5k and 10k.
Maybe he didnt run up to his potential after winning footlockers, but to stay he didnt do anyting is absurd!
Larry Guinee, Castro Valley High. He won the Calfornia State 1600 in 1981 in 4:06. Dropped out of college and ran for the Aggies. He never broke 4 minutes.
Chris Hoepker, Encinal High School, ran 8:50s in 1986. He went to Foothill JC for about a year and never ran afterwards.
Calvin Gaziano had a stellar college career and was mediocre at Texas A & M.

The post is about top HS kids who do nothing in college or post college running after being national leaders in HS. It seems that you are bothered that people are pointing that out. So why drag all the bad HS runners into a thread that has nothing to do with them?

I am bothered by the fact that people are pointing to NCAA Champions, All Americans and other national qualifiers as "never having done anything past high school." With very few exceptions, the people listed on this thread had careers that any of us would kill for. In regards to the Mead issue, I was pointing out that saying 90% of their kids don't move on is actually pretty impressive because that means 100x more Mead kids move on than most other programs. I didn't "drag" anyone into this thread.

You are a TOOL. Blood had a very good career at Oregon. Davidson and Lane both ran in the NC champs last week.

You still have it wrong. 90% of Mead runners are exceptional in HS, the other 10% just the national average. OF the Mead runners who were HS phenoms .0000000001% outperformed their HS performances.

I think that the Toga kids go on to better things than the FM kids.
What happened to the three FM kids from last years HS national champs, they were all frosh this yr in college, do any still run?
About 80% of the kids that went to Stanford in the 80's
AS a runner look here:http://womenboxing.com/biog/emueller.htm

'80s, not 80's.

Fulfilled potential sounds like that was Webb's peak.

Add anyone who ran for Chuck Koeppen at Carmel HS in Indiana. (For those who don't know, Carmel is a perennial power in Indiana HS cross country. Chris Walden just ran a good race at Footlocker Midwest.)
Good Lord!
