They’re only 15 or so ncaa titles behind him at the moment. So yeah, I’d say there’s a significant argument.
Not much of a historian, are you?
Ches as a freshman was older than Teare is as a senior. But Teare is still breaking all of Ches' records. Also there hasn't been an NCAA championship in 15 months due to some worldwide pandemic that you might have heard of.
Ches had a lot less competition, too. Current guys like McDonald, Klecker, Hoare, Kerr, Fisher are legit Olympic talents. Technically Ches raced them too but he was 26 and they were 19.
I think it was previously documented that Edward was only a year older for his grade. He graduated high school at age 19, which happens about 13% of the time.
