Here WI (we) go again! Meet Drew Bosley

Was thinking about posting something about him. Kid is the real deal... I've gotten to compete against him once and I've seen him run a few times. Kid just looks like a total freak and he totally is. Should be fun watching him compete with the likes of Wagner Gessner and Hagge at the end of the year.

Do you have a link with meet results at all?

3200 from back in april

The 4:16 he ran the other night came at a home meet. School has their own timing equipment but chose not to publish the results. Here was 2nd place

Thank you very much. Checked every website possible to see if I could find the race results but that is obviously why. That's an awesome time for Riley as well. Good to see so many talented runners stein WI this year after graduating some pretty good ones.

Bumping this thread because Drew ran 9:05 last night at Midwest Distance Classic after missing most of Winter training and the first half of his season with tendinitis. Kid is crazy talented and is gonna end up breaking some state records

Thankfully he didn't run the Wisco Bible meet. Stupid meet and would have been a waste!

Drew will be an impact on the national scene the next two years. I got my money that he will be footlocker champ next year.

Predictions:

- top 10 at NXN

- top 6 at Footlocker

Ignore his FL regional. He worked hard but did the least work to qualify. Trained through the meet and Wisconsin qualifiers do traditionally well when they punch through with a lower regional place. (Gessner, Hacker, Kromer, etc.)

The CopyPastas at Dyestat and MileSh*t will still find reasons to rank him outside the top 10.

Junior Drew Bosley finished 7th at both national meets. By default he is one of the top returnees for both. Seeing as his dad was one of the UW greats in his respective 1990s era (4:01/13:48) you'd assume Drew would also go to UW to continue the family dominance. But the question is WILL he given the inconsistencies in Madison as of late?

This is the question. I would assume with informed parents and coaches he will look very closely at UW and make a highly informed decision. He will have lots of options. His performances are also helped by a very strong group of HS guys at the top in WI right now, Matt Meinke in particular but several others as well. That's why I think the state records are in range.

Streamed both NXN and Footlocker and Bosely ran very smart races in both. Huge upside.

Bosley won the US junior 5000 title over Oregon frosh Cooper Teare on Friday. Anyone on here see the race? Did Teare let him win? Here is what milesplit wrote about it:

Let's talk about Oregon's Cooper Teare for just a hot second.

It wasn't going to take a herculean effort for the Duck freshman to reach Finland. He played things smart, managing his time on the track to finish second in 14:33.54. Essentially, he made sure he earned an auto qualifier.

While he took over the lead in the final two laps, Bosley kicked past him with 200 meters to go. But it didn't really matter. By virtue of his 13:46.46 from Bryan Clay in April, he had already met the qualification for U20.

He simply needed to be in the top two places to guarantee a trip.

Lap by lap split here:

Have to think Teare would have jogged the last lap to make it evident that he wasn’t trying. He probably assumed that he could easily drop a 4:08/8:58 high schooler but didn’t count on a 60 second lap. Now wishing he would have run 75 last lap waving to the crowd to save face with teammates.

Bosley lit up the track in the last 400 of both 1600 and 3200 of the Wisconsin state HS meet so this wasn't a surprise.

Two things:

1) This is just god-awful writing from start to finish. Brutal.

2) Why take away the credit from Bosley? They ran 1:00.99 and 1:02.01 respectively for the last 400. As Rojo said, it wasn't as if he dropped a 75 waving to the crowd. Looks like he just got beat.

I was watching and it looked like Teare truly was beat. Seemed surprising to me but I just thought maybe he didn’t want to go all into it just to win because I see he is scheduled to run the 1500m

Something isn't right here. Teare can run 13:46. That's like 66 seconds per lap, right? Knowing that, closing a 14:30 in 62 should be very easy for him.

What were conditions like?

drew bosley was 16th at the arcadia 3200m

Drew acknowledged his 61 second 7th lap at Arcadia was absurd and he paid for it.

He is not the top dog. But he is well coached, talented, hard working, and humble.

He will be a contender to win Footlocker or NXN in the fall.

Doesn’t matter if he wins or not. He will continue to improve.

Bosley to Northern Arizona. Kid is up for a national title this year.
