Leo Young just beat the likes of Kole Mathison, Marco Langon, and a slew of other top Collegiate freshmen and High School seniors to become the USATF u20 XC champion. How is he looking going into worlds? Does he have a shot at beating Ritz's 3rd? Could he even win?
Leo now adds himself to the list of national XC champions from Newbury Park.

Honestly I think the race is too dense for that nowadays. A top 15 would be great and a top 10 incredible. Jakob only finished 12th in 2019 (the course wasn’t suited for him but he was way better than Leo so I guess top 15 would be really good).

If the weather is bad enough he could medal. Americans seem to overperform in the rain & mud.

Some of those high school guys back in that day ran huge mileage; Chapa probably did too.
There is the unfortunate sad story of one of them that wore a training vest weighted with lead, who passed on early with cancer.
His name was Eric Hulst, out of Laguna Beach High School. He won the gold medal for the United States in the men's junior race at the 1976 IAAF World Cross Country Championships.
March is too early, he needs a race in late April with the Pros. He needs to build his base a bit more specifically for that record. It’s going to take an even split metronomic effort within a pack of sub 28 guys to pull it off. I truly believe he’s capable but it has to be at night and in the right conditions.
