Pretty amazing time for a freshmen.
Pretty sure also that's a new USA National frosh class record.
He is an experienced club runner though so will not progress as much as a kid who just started running their freshman year.
Why does Brea-Olinda get so lucky getting all these club kids? My high school team never once had a kid that ever ran in a club before high school.

That has almost become a cliché, when I look at our elite athletes like Centro and Rupp for example, there are more who ran age group track than who didn't. Take a look at old AAU and USATF JO results and you will be surprised at the names you see.
