Antonio Camacho Bucks ran a 14:50 5000m on the track in October in Maryland, official FAT meet.
He is a soph at Centennial HS in Ellicott City, MD.
Would be cool to see them compete against each other.
Is he the fastest sophomore in the nation?[/quote]

Pretty close. A track is at least 20 seconds faster than a cross country course. 14:50 is still really fast. Has he had any cross country races?
Except for the fact that 1/2 of the cross country courses are short. If you think that every kid in the Alexander Asics Invite would run 20 seconds faster on the track, you are crazy. Most kids ran 1 minute faster than any other meet on the year.

I'm sure we'll see him at track nationals. But he did break 2 course records on consecutive weekends in a state that has produced some talented athletes like Ben True and Eric Jenkins. Seems like he is legit to me.

And Nico Young's brothers.

Interesting...It says that he was born on Feb 2, 1994.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_CheserekHe graduated in 2013. He ran a 14:02 on April 2011 so he would be 17 that year. You were close though

That's the women's race. Here are the men:

The people who organized the 5k also organized a mile that took place yesterday, Aidan Cox ran like 4:20ish and got 4th. The video is posted to the New Hampshire Cross Country youtube page

Not an outstanding performance on the surface, but pretty good considering little speed training this cross country season. It was his first high school 1600 ever. About 15 seconds better than his 4:15 1500 last indoors.
Aidan Puffer, for example, only ran a 4:17 as a sophomore. Cox should be able to at least match that in track.

School is small, but anyone can go, since it's a charter school, or something like that. All I know is that they draw students from outside their town/district/county.

Coe-Brown is a public school not a charter school with approximately 700 students. Each town in NH has a school of record and possibly schools of choice depending on their town's location, population and needs. Regardless, the cost of attendance is paid via property taxes to each respective town. Although an Academy, Coe-Brown is the same as every other public school in NH. It is an 'academy' only because of the way it is operated and structured. 2 other schools in NH are also academies in Pembroke and NHs largest school, Pinkerton. All adhere to by-laws of the NHIAA like all other schools in NH. Unlike private schools, these schools cannot recruit, offer scholarships, etc...
Coe-Brown is the school of record for the towns of Northwood and Strafford, meaning all the kids from those 2 small towns attend Coe-Brown. For the record, Coe-Brown's top 7 boys were entirely from these 2 towns, with 5 from Northwood and 2 from Strafford. Between the 2 towns, there is literally 1 stoplight to give you and idea of the size of the community.
Congrats to the soph....
Tom Graves ran 14:18 for 3 miles as a soph at DetweillerPark in IL CC state championships. He was 3rd.
The weather was raining and muddy in patches, and veterans of the sport said it cost the runners 10-15 seconds, so 10 seconds for sure.
That's about 14:08 as a soph. 1st and 2nd place would have been close to breaking 14 min on a dry course, and two runners below 14 in the same race has never happened at the IL state meet.
As a junior, in cold weather (before running tights, etc.), Graves only ran 14:08.
In better weather (and with the top rated team allowed to run) Graves would break 14 as a junior. Only Craig Virgin has done that.
If this soph runs 14:45 or faster for 5k CC, then I would notice...not that he cares.
And he won the coach of the year.. its actually a co coach of the year with Tim Cox and Brent Tkazyk co coaching both the boys and girls at Coe Brown.
