XC: Both won the National XC championship. Both in a course record (different course and different history). However, Aaron won by 7 seconds. Colin only won by 2 seconds. I give the nod to Aaron.
Aaron’s junior year was better than Colin’s (1:48, 4:00, 8:01 (3000m) for Aaron), so not far fetched that he will run faster than Colin did in his senior year.
Do these bros have a surname?

Young, I think.
Aaron > Colin, Lex, Leo, and Nico
It’s hard to say until we see how he does in indoor but I would bet towards him having a better season than Colin. Oh How many 800 runners have won a national XC race? Not only was NXN a national XC race but this year had one of the strongest fields ever with two sub 4 milers, probably at least a dozen sub 4:04 guys, and two guys who have run sub 8:40, with one of whom having run 13:43 the previous season.
Here are my guesses for what he runs this season:
400: 48.7
800: 1:46.8
mile: 3:56
3200: 8:37

Which would mean that he probably would win Gatorade. Two brothers winning that award. Has this ever been done before?
BTW: I don’t see why he could not run sub 7:50 indoor in Boston. He should go to Boston in January while Leo one Lex go to US XC trials.
No way
No way
Nico ran 7:56 indoor at the Armory in HS. He certainly was not as fast as Aaron at 800m and mile.
Lex also ran 7:57 at the Armory last year.
It’s obviously not a certainty that Aaron could run sub 7:50 in Boston, but there is certainly a non zero chance that he could do it.
It would be a surprise to me if he did not break the HS record however.

L&L could get it first. Not even saying they are better than him - I just think all 3 of them are probably capable of breaking the record.
I have him breaking the 800 record
