Quite the age gap between them. German was a legend for sure.

Here you go, you unbeliever.
"Riverbank High School sophomore Giselle Fernandez was selected as the MVP, Most Valuable Player, at the recent Trans-Valley League Cross Country Meet in Ceres. She is the sister of alumni German Fernandez, who set a number of track and cross country records in his high school and college career. Coach Monte Wood noted that Giselle was born during German’s senior year at RHS and is carving out her own niche. He also reported that she won all three TVL races this season."

18 years younger. Maybe a half sister. But she does kinda look like him.
5:06 for a freshman girl is solid.

Not your typical age gap in siblings but it could happen. I have a senior in high school and a daughter who will be 1 next month. When my oldest was born I was 26 and when my daughter was born I was 43. Same wife!

My sister inlaw was our flower girl when she was 7 and we got married at 22/23

It is promising. Let's hope she did not inherit the same proneness to injury that German did.

She won today! I hope she doesn’t go to OSU.

Keep in mind that many high school girls actually run faster as freshman and sophomores.

Or as 7th and 8th graders. States like New York and Minnesota allow them to compete on HS varsity unlike California

Congratulations on both your long and healthy marriage, as well as your recent child.
I am 34, and my wife and I are in the two under two stage. We might have a third.
Tons of respect for you and your wife for welcoming a new child into the world at 43! That is not easy, and it requires a ton of work. Very exhausting.

Pretty close to none of the 7th and 8th grade girls, who run in NY have contributed to an NXN team.
The advantage they do get is that these girls have more experience when they are in high school with team, training and racing.
Surprisingly, both the famous NY programs are public high schools with extremely limited ability to recruit due their locations.
Who is uprooting their family to move to Syracuse, or Saratoga?

He is not an alumni. He is an alumnus.

So do many boys, but that's not the norm for either of them.
