Who is Tyrone Gorze?

I’m sure he is legitimately really fast (8:23 3000), but that XC race includes the word “track” in it. Was it a straight up track meet or just a pancake flat and slightly short XC course that ended on a track?

I did some digging and it looks like you're right - it seems like it was just a 5k that was run on a track. 14:29 is still a fantastic time though, I'm sure he's quite fast.

The Freshman is Josiah Tostenson. His older sister Gracie ran for Boise State and scored in some of their biggest XC races. Allie Ostrander was at her baby shower last weekend. His older brother Jantz is a steepler for Georgetown. I think Jantz is 6'5" , and Josiah may end up being even taller.

How the hell have you never heard of Tyrone Gorze if you follow the preps????????

It appears Tyrone has run a 3:50.88 in the 1,500 meters and a 8:52 3,200 meters in Portland OR track meets last spring. He is legit!

Its been reported that his sophmore season when he ran 3;50 he was doing 85 miles a week. idk what kind of miles he is doing now. His training and the training of crater high school is extremely secretive. Josiah tostenson has been on the national scene for quite some time including 4;20 ish mile as an 8th grader. Both are very legit, but no one knows anything about the program, or training, especially that of Tyrones.

Where did you hear he was running 85 miles a week?

Where did you hear that Tyrone was doing that mileage?

This thread aged well after an impressive fall for the junior. As for training, it is well known throughout that Crater's training is not always sustainable and has lead to burnout of top athletes, however, there are outliers in everything. 85 is a high number for a sophmore, is there a coach or athlete confirmation for this???

He also ran 8:11.38 3k at U-W a few weeks ago.

Max King is a 1998 Crater HS alum, and he’s still trucking along just fine at 40.

That's #3 ever for a high schooler, only behind Verzbicas and Cheserek. Of course, it's an oversized track. Since 5000s are almost never run by preps outside of nationals, there have been any high all-time marks on tracks bigger than 200m, so you could say #3 all-time, all-tracks or all-conditions.

look at Crater's notable state champs and national qualifiers the past 10-20 years. They have all blown up either toward the end of high school or directly after it. You get to be the best in high school, but pay the price being mentally burnt out afterward. Max King is a unique runner and I don't think that much could burn him out + different coaching back in that era.

Any idea what he’s doing for training

Wouldn’t be surprised if both Gorze and Tostenson break 4 in the mile next year

Why do we play chicken little when American HSers train hard but we praise Gjert Ingebritsen for starting Jakob training even harder earlier like he found the secret to all running success?

The guy that won Woodbridge.
