I mean they do call CU the Harvard of the Rockies. The smartest athlete I remember a guy that ran 8:55 and 4:09 back in the late 1990's that skipped the D1's and attended Tufts University because he wanted a good career and realized Running was just an activity. Focussing on being a pro runner is like getting excited about mobile home living there is no real money in our sport to make a pro career really worth while.
This is the most hilariously accurate statement. Percentage wise it has to be low odds of monetary success as a pro runner versus MLB, NHL, etc. better odds if they kept playing football “soccer”. nevertheless, hilarious take.
Looking at Lex's instagram page, he only follows a few schools: UCLA, Oregon, Colorado, NAU (but not the track account), and Stanford. My guess is Stanford since he follows the school page, track page, the athletics page, women's soccer page, and most importantly the alumni page
Leo is also following Stanford and NAU, but does not follow Oregon, Colorado, and UCLA. Guessing both end up in Palo Alto next fall
This. It's Stanford. They also followed the Stanford accounts recently, vs some teams they followed longer ago and may have just been following throughout high school. Leo's most recent follow is also Ricardo Santos, the distance coach at Stanford (at least I hope for their sake he's the main distance coach and not JJ Clark).

Santos’ Instagram is an interesting read…how many Scarlett Johansson fan pages does a guy need to follow??
I think they do well in school, Leo maybe a little more into studying than Lex, but I don’t think NP is a particularly rigorous high school. They take AP classes and do well. I’m sure they’re smart enough to handle Stanford. I mean Ryan hall made it through Stanford. They’re also into the entrepreneurial vibe that Stanford has going on.
What about CU? Do you think they might go there?

I happen to know for a fact that they're going to Ave Maria in Florida to be coached by ALAN WEBB!!! They will run cross country and track and also pick up swimming so they can train under him all year long! Expect all their instagram posts going forward to contain ecclesiastical Latin! They will even both shave their heads to become aerodynamic and both move to triathlon within a year! WEBB IS BACK BABY
I think this is it. They've realized the importance of leg speed velocity and looking relaxed and want to learn from the master. WEBB IS BACK BABY!!!!

Nico likes and follows Cole Sprout, but that doesn't see Nico heading to Palo Alto.
