Yeah, but they weren’t Juniors in High School with Senior year to go. And he’s a 1500 kid in 400/800 sheep’s clothing.
I feel like kids on top of Emerging Elite at Nike are still a good benchmark for that cadre. In fact, I’m thinking if you qualify for Championship there or NBNO, you’ll stand in good stead. Track kids tend to be smart, but there’s not THAT many that can pass the Ivy or NESCAC screens either in performance or academic stats.
It will definitely be interesting to see how this all shakes out. I’ll certainly be watching.
