Im not sure about Mudd's training, but I know that Fleet was routinely doing 80+ mpw in high school. Maybe thats why hes injured so often. However, once Mudd ran his fast mile (4:02-3?) at his state meet, he was definitely well-known. his time of like 4:01 at the dream mile only solidified that. so it isn't a total surprise that after a year, hes pred in the 15 by 6 seconds.
