Anderson 4th but looks the best with 1K to go
Now Sprout and Anderson with 1 min to go
So Anderson wins but man I'm impressed by Sprout. I was looking at his bio. Th ekid ran 8:49 as a sophomore? Wow.
Cole Sprout, junior
School: Valor Christian (Highlands Ranch, Colo.)
Best speed rating: 196.6 (CO state meet)
PRs: 4:12/8:49
Sprout looks over wrong shoulder, Hacker goes right by him for 2nd. Anderson easily.
LOL, boys sprawled all over the ground! Saw only one girl do the same.
Anderson with a beyond fantastic kick... looks like he just went for a jog.
Great close by Hocker for second.
It's fun watching these high school guys race. Move after move after move in the last mile. You don't usually see that at the professional level.
That race was so intense. Honestly so much competition for the top spots.

That was the weirdest thing. I saw her at that last hill collapsed on the ground taking like 15 seconds to get on her feet. She may have DNF'd.
Eerily similar to last year when she went out with the leaders and crashed hard...
It was so weird but I’m pretty sure I saw her in footage at the finish
I think one of FM's scorers fell early on.
Agreed. I enjoyed racing more at the high school level than I did within the NCAA. It was Footlocker when I was around, with NTN not having individuals, and I felt much less pressure at FLN than I ever did running within the NCAA. Pure enjoyment of the sport completely dropped off greatly throughout the years of college racing when scholarship money became involved. I honestly believe that as soon as financial incentive is involved tactical methods are influenced. Every season coaches evaluated an athlete's latest value based off of what they scored at conference or NCAA's. If you got passed in the last 100 meters it did not matter how you ran the first 1400 meters or 4900 meters of the race. In high school, no one is going to threaten to reduce your scholarship. Everyone supports each other and wants each other to succeed. Those were the most enjoyable days of running.
Looks like a guy fell wrote:

Geoff Howles, their top finisher at states, was through 2 miles at 10:51, so probably him.
Littleton Co. 3rd, just one point from 2nd, but lost the broadcast!! Did L.V. prevail???
Purcelville.
Got it back, Temecula 2nd by a point over Littleton. Louden Valley defends with 77 friggin points!
What were the gang symbols those guys through up?

You would think these just went over the top in the first World War.
Never heard Oostings # called.

And they managed such a low score even with Affolder fading to 31st. Impressive depth.

LV = Loudoun Valley is the "gang symbol" those kids were throwing. One of those kids is the class valedictorian.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
