Why has no one made mention of McDougal's VERY impressive 4th place finish in today's 4k XC National Championship? Old for his grade or not, it is kind of surprising that there has been no praise here for a college freshman who just beat a former NCAA XC Champ, and America's fastest HS miler, let alone the top finishers from last year's race!
It will be very interesting to see how he fares at Worlds, stepping up from the Junior Race to go toe-to-toe with the big boys.
