"I really want to race the mile -- like that's where my passion is at right now," said Sahlman in a Q&A with LetsRun after being named the 2021 Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. Sahlman also said he'd "love" to do the Pre Classic mile like former HS teen sensations Alan Webb and Jakob Ingebrigtsen. *MB: Q&A with Colin Sahlman who reveals he's passionate about the mile & wants to run Pre and doesn't rule out turning pro.

Newbury Park is already the greatest HS XC team ever, but they have one last meet on Saturday at the RunningLane Cross Country Championships, where coach Sean Brosnan has big dreams. "And I'll say it: we're going to try to go 1-2-3-4 out there," said Brosnan who also believes NP will have multiple guys threatening Dathan Ritzenhein's national 5k XC record of 14:10. *MB: Sean Brosnan: "And I'll say it: we're going to try to go 1-2-3-4 out there..There’s no reason I can’t have four guys under 8:30."

Shhh. We think we may have found America's next distance star.  The similarities between Weini Kelati and Molly Seidel are striking. *MB: Shhhh... Rojo thinks Weini Kelati may be the next great American distance runner + Is Sean Brosnan great or lucky?
