Your top boys all have pretty good stats but you can see that cross country times do not automatically mean fast 1600-meter times on the track. In fact,
Tyler Mathews, Red Mountain who set the state record in the 1600-meters last season only comes in at 29th on the cross-country time list. I am told that he was injured at the start of the cross-country season but can on strong towards the end.
Zach Albanese, Seton Catholic leads all the returning boys at 5K while his 4:28.32 ranks him 59th in Arizona. Take a look and see if you made this list. This was sorted for the top 100 boys' class of 2024 for the 2022 cross-country season.
