Ethan Strand just had one heck of a weekend. 8:59 2 mile, 4:07 mile and split 49 in the 4x4. By far the best performance of any Alabamian in a weekend

I think he's been the best Alabamian HSer ever for a while now, broke the XC record by a ton this year and like 4:11 as a sophomore or something.
Not a huge breakthrough for him though, he ran 9 flat last year indoors, but I'm wishing the best for him. Raced against him a few years ago and he's been way better than anyone here for a long time.
I was hoping he'd break 4 this year after his race sophomore year, but 4:07 is a long way away. In the right race though, when he's better tapered and not also racing a 2 mile, he might get a lot closer.
That's a great triple and you would think that someone who manages to run that well in Alabama is going to be a very good collegian.
I always thought it was Alabaman. Learned something new.
If anyone cares, here are the results. Not a bad bunch of guys for a football state.
