This has got to be the deepest high school field ever right? 4+ kids could have broken 4 in the mile plus the 2 mile record was in danger. The 3k indoor record was broken by several seconds too. Sprout ran sub 8:50 at altitude too, and Easton Creed Alred ran under 9 at altitude too.
The only other in contention is 2000, but really after Webb, Ritz, and Hall, no one else was that great. A lot of the kids this year are probably better than Hall was his senior year.
How many have run under 4:02 if we count TTs this year? Culpepper ran 4 flat indoor, now Schoppe ran 4 flat and didn't someone else run 4:01 or lower in a TT recently?
On top of all of that, we also have the undisputed best HS girl XC runner, and a super deep girl class too (although I don't know as much about girl times).
This year has to go down as one of the all time "what ifs".
