Graydon Morris of Texas qualified out of the South Region yesterday. This is very impressive and I am wondering if any other freshmen have ever qualified.
-
in 1995, not only did Jorge Torres qualify, but he was 13th at nats...his first of 4 visits to the national finals and all american finishes.
-
I was wondering if that was a mistake, since following the sport I couldn't ever remember a freshman boy making it, I think futsem made it as a sophmore? and that was really rare
What's even crazier is two more sophomores made it is the same race -
Dude looks like a junior though
-
I was right the finish line and when he crossed I assumed he was a senior right off the bat tbh
-
Hunter, Ping and now this kid. Another amazing runner coached by Tinman... He is hands down the best coach who posts here...

Didn't Grace Ping run 5:02/10:32 before being coached by Tinman? As a 6th grader? That's completely ridiculous. -
texas has some good freshman..... theres another kid from el paso, abyeta, who runs like a 1530 or somethings
-
Morris doesn't have the same coach as Hunter.

Jorge Torres -
Pretty sure Andrew Gardner did
-
Footlockers has become much weaker over the past 8 years so this is not as impressive as it use to be.
-
Why do some people say "Footlockers"?
Is NXN called "Nikes"? -

gardner was 31st at FLW as a freshman, so he is only a 3x guy.
The officials results on the FL website doesn't have grades listed for the first few years, but here is a complete list of freshman that I can discern.
1986: Cliff Dwelle 16th (15:25)
1995: Jorge Torres 13th (15:38) -

If I'm remembering correctly Futsam Zenlassie (or however you spell it) qualified as a freshman and may have even been like 7th. -

I missed one result.
2008: Futsum Zeinasellassie 7th (15:40) -
I know you are talking about boys but two girls won the race as 9th graders (Davis, 93 and Hasay, 05).
-
Plenty of Freshman girls have qualified.......
25 since 2000, 12 of whom were all american, 1 who won (Jordan Hasay)....In fact, last year is the only FLN meet since 2000 that did not have a freshman qualify.
It is far more uncommon for a freshman boy to qualify. -
>> 1986: Cliff Dwelle 16th (15:25)
I think there are errors in the 1986 results on the website.
19th-placer Bryan Dameworth of CA was a freshman, but is listed as a senior (he won in 1989 as a senior).
Also, I don't think Dwelle was a frosh that year. -

Texas had like 5 finish in top 8 at Regionals. Unfortunately, Texas typically sucks at Footlocker.
