On the boys side we have Nico Young, obviously one of the all time greats. Nico broke the NXN record in the worst conditions we have ever seen. Cole Sprout. Josh Methner breaking the 40x year old Illinois XC record. Cruz Culpepper running 4:00.10 indoors. What a stacked class.
But on the girls side....we have arguably the greatest of all time Tuohy. Hart, Dudek, and Staliper are running top 5 all-time times on the girls side. And we aren't even at indoor nattys yet.
If I had to pick, I would say the girls side. This year you could be the 4th best girls distance runner in the country and still be one of the greatest of all time.
What an awesome year for high school distance running overall. Just wanted to give a shout out to the girls out there :) yall are having one helluva season
