The guy is 17 yo, running 30-35 miles/week, specialized on 800m/Mile (1:54 / 4:27).
10K PB is 34:08.
What could he run on a Half Marathon with no special preparation for the distance.

Maybe 1:15-ish?
115 if he upped his mileage for a months to prepare
Though with that low of mileage I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit slower.
Agree with the others 1:15 high if he prepared for a bit.
With absolute no preparation for Half, and this low of a milage, he should aim for 1:17.
Off of that progression and mileage? I would say 1:18 honestly. Maybe a touch slower actually.
Does he have a 5K time from XC?
I still think 10K and HM are similar enough events that his 10K time should translate fairly well to HM. Approaching 1:15 seems doable.
75 minutes
1.18-1.20.
You can run 1.15 with 34 10k, but You need very good endurance and that guy doesn't have it
