I took some time to really dive deep into this loaded freshman and sophomore team and have put the information below to show how much these boys have improved-(from year to year for sophomores and season to season for freshman, xc/track)
Freshman Times-(Format: XC 5000, Track 3200, 1600, 800)
Joshua Archuleta-19:44, 5:17, 2:15. Significant Improvement over a few short months of winter training, A 19:44 5K is an average of 6:21 per mile.
Duncan Atherton-18:39, 2:09. Less results, but still large jump, (another impressive result, a 25.96 200)
Rocco Culpepper-15:18, 4:29, 1:58. The speedy freshman showcasing some good track speed!
Ryder Keeton-17:49, 9:48, 4:41, 2:09. Out of all of the improvement on this team, going from an avarage mile of 5:45, to a 9:48 3200 is near the top of the list.
Gabriel Marshall-17:00, 10:39, 4:56. Slight improvement, very solid times for a freshman
Hunter Robbie-17:11, 10:20, 4:48. A large jump, and some indoor results to suggest that winter training definitely paid off.
Sophmore Times-(Format: Distance, Freshman Pr/Sophomore Pr)
James Anthony, 5000-17:12/16:40, 1600-4:45/4:50. Despite the backtrack in the 1600, he has also run some impressive times in the 800, and improved significantly in cross country
Lincoln Brewer, 5000-20:07/17:32 1600-5:09/4:58 800-2:22/2:15. HUGE improvement on the course, and some solid improvements so far this track season

Zachary Hlavacek, 5000-18:14/18:15 800-2:11/2:08. Another consistent transition, with an interesting story, The results his freshman year switch from cross country-(where he ran with mead) to track-(where he ran with niwot)

Evan Kear, 5000-18:39/16:37 3200-10:39/9:59 1600-4:54/4:44. Another Absolutely massive jump in speed on the cross country course, going from an average of 6:00 per mile to an avarage of 5:20 per mile, almost cutting off two minutes of time. Very impressive improvement in the 3200 as well!
William Lennert, 5000-17:14/16:32 3200-10:52/10:11 1600-4:57/4:49. Amazing improvements over just the course of a year, adding yet another strong runner to the many at niwot
