"Freshman"
Fernandez (ridculous), Derrick (amazing), Puskedra (underrated), Fout (under appreciated)....we won't see a HS class perform like that for awhile.
I said HIGH SCHOOL class. Those kids were tough, talented, and showed up.
Dismiss what anybody has done at the collegiate level and think of these kids as HS runners. That's a truly talented class.....and they were all 17...and they would all have KILLED this "feshman".
Until he throws out a Fernandez 2 mile or Derrick 5k, he's not in their league. Until he can balls up and attack races like Puskedra did he's just an over-aged "freshman". Until he can shock the HS running world and have the most epic, bad ass... "I literally f***ed up and destroyed the country in the last mile" national championship race (like Mr. Fout).....he's just an older HS runner ala Haile.
