As you may have noticed, Nico Young has two younger brothers, Lex and Leo, who are in the 9th grade. Looking on athletic.net, they have better times than what Nico ran during the same age.

Could it be that they're more talented than Nico, and can surpass him by grade 12. Meaning that we could be seeing two sub-four milers and 13 min 5kers? Now I definitely believe that they have better training than Nico had at the same age, and thus are close to their potential. They also have the benefit of having a role model in Nico to look up to. I don't discount their talent though. They are a complete foot shorter than Nico, which suggests that they haven't hit their growth spurt yet. Imagine the improvement in times when they get taller.
Could the Young bro's turn out to be as successful as the Ingebritsens' as a running family?
