You're both wrong. Mountain has run the fastest 2 mile time ever by an Ohio high schooler.
Here's the all-time national list of the top 9. Unsure about the 10th spot.
8:29.46 Lukas Verzbicas 2011
8:34.40 German Fernandez 2008
8:36.3 Jeff Nelson 1979
8:39.04 Hobbs Kessler 2021
8:40.9 Craig Virgin 1973
8:41.55 Matthew Centrowitz 2007
8:41.5 Steve Prefontaine 1969
8:42.16 Nathan Mountain 2021
8:42.51 Drew Hunter 2015
A lot of great distance runners have come out of Ohio Mountain is among the best ever and is probably the best, at least as of now, in the last 10 or so years. He's only going to get better and could well become one of the top collegiate runners over the next few years.
