if looking for the best 4 (XC) years of high school, I would go with Jorge Torres, qualified for FL every year including a win his senior year. that's a qualty HS career!

It's a shame he never signed with Nike and joined one of the Oregon groups.

Dude was killer in HS, but outside his state comps he got beat plenty at Foot Locker, etc.

what pathetic piss-ant state was that, Delaware?
(and how many years/seasons did you run?)
(and Verzbicas also lost some races as a frosh in the spring in the national class 2 mile races he ran. And he was also a soph age frosh.
So far it appears no male has done it if one means: 4 years, at least 8 seasons (x-c and spring track, including indoors would of course magnify the achievement. Possibly someone has done in a small non-competetive state, like delaware or RI)
Indiana
can anyone beat this?
I am being serious. Id love to know if I have the fewest losses ever.
Also, I have a 4:05 mile pr and have only lost to 1 person in a mile race. Is there anyone with a faster PR who has only lost to 1 person?
Not bragging but I never thought about this and it is kinda interesting.
Didn't Torrez run in Illinois?
I believe Chris Solinsky only lost one HS race in Wisconsin over 4 years. He lost other meets, but was undefeated in Wisconsin until his senior year in track when he went for the 800, 1600, 3200 triple and got beat in the 800

Haile Geb has never lost a 1-mile race. 3:52.
I think you're right about Kevin Sullivan. Pretty hard to beat a guy who runs 1:53 in grade 9. Also said he only would only run 30-40 miles a week during high school track season and 60 miles during Cross. Not much for someone who came 13th at World Cross Country and broke 4 minutes while in high school.
