You are still wrong about Horter. His problems are all COVID-related. He was actually doing decently well before COVID hit him. 19th at the Region in CC as a freshman, was regularly beating his fellow Ohio classmate Arjun Jha.
This is unequivocally not true.
You're "soeonewhoknows" and I am also Someone who knows. Horter beat Jha in his freshman year but hasn't beat him since and this is BEFORE covid came about. His trajectory has been in reverse of most since his best performances were in the freshman year and have gotten a bit slower since. Most of the top guys that were in high school at the same time as Horter started surpassing him prior to covid.
Does it all even really matter?
Nope. Horter didn't really decline until COVID. Jha just got better as a sophomore as he was able to tolerate more training then than he ever had. Horter's issues are all COVID-related.
