One of best? I mean just to name a few that would and have spanked him:
Joseph Gray for sure.
Max King
Sage Canday
Andrew wacker
He won pikes on a year where literally no top Americans went and also they canceled the uphill pikes race so Gray didn't go which I can assure, Seth would have gotten crushed by him on the ascent as he has every other time along with Wacker most likely
You should check the results before posting. He beat Andy Wacker by over 8 minutes. Was also over 2 minutes faster than Sage's 2019 time, and 24 minutes faster than Max King's course PR from 9 years ago. He has lost to Joe Gray a bunch of times, who is undoubtedly stronger on shorter distances, though.
Seth is faster than plenty of runners who are sponsored, and he makes a living from running. He probably makes more money doing shoe reviews than he would from a sponsorship anyway. Not at all unreasonable to call him a pro.
