Jesuit CA Suspicious Ages

Jesuit's accomplishment is remarkable, placing first in the merge without losing any scorers. I was amazed when I saw the results for the first time. However, I was a bit confused when I went to some of the runners' athletic.net profiles and noticed that EVERY scorer for them would be a grade higher normally.

The following information is available on Athletic.net

Ogilvie:

15 in 8th grade track

16 in 9th grade track

Jakary:

17 in 10th grade track

Also somehow published this article in 2021!?!?!:

Abbott:

17 in 10th grade track

Alberts:

16 in 9th grade track

Cressman:

18 in 11th grade track

Hofferer seems to be the only runner without suspicious ages.

I understand It’s not uncommon for a student or two to be held back or have a late birthday, but seeing this many unusual ages in one group of students is hard to overlook and too frequent to simply chalk up to coincidence.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could have happened or if there is anything bigger at play here? I would like to make it clear I am not leveling accusations, just simply confused as to why this happened.

How does this scheme work? Does Walt Lange visit elementary schools, identify the kids dominating freeze tag, and then talk the parents into holding them back for a year?
