Simmons improved from 13th to 11 th.
Jojo season😈
Adam Burlison who played HS football last fall ran a 4:05
It’s official. Jojo Jourdon is now the fastest high schooler in the country.
Crazy how few threads were made about a sub 4 mile indoors. Just a couple of years ago people would be going absolutely wild about this. I wonder how much time it will take for people on letsrun to realize he did this.
This run definitely shows that his NXN win was no fluke and that he indeed was the best in the nation.
He is obviously very very good..great run saw it. Great running style.
Jojo over Griffith and Simmons. He showed who was really the best.
@11:00
Jourdon and Corey Campbell (from UK, 3rd today in 4:04.10) are both going to Wake next year. Pretty crazy what a recruiting powerhouse that program has become!
Kudos for JoJo for an epic sub 4, but a race Feb. 3 doesn’t really change my views on a cumulative XC season.
He’s clearly the best right now and a faster miler than Simmons or Griffith have ever been.
Slowest sub 4 time a high schooler has run - previous slowest was 3:59.86, run by Alan Webb indoors, at the New Balance games in 2001.
Unfortunately his performance was overshadowed by all the goings on at the U.S. Olympic marathon trials. Clearly he was the standout but there were other good performances, like Drew Griffith at 4:02.71.
This all HS race was set up by Hoey> A Pro? Is that correct?
Dude is a baller, revenge race after not getting Gatorade award for Cross Country
