Mylie’s story has been documented a few times here but it’s worth repeating (you never know who’s reading and how it could affect them)
She’s been around running her entire life and was a good middle school runner, but not outstanding
She made a decision before 8th grade track that she was going to dedicate herself to the sport and – IT’S PAID OFF
Mylie ran 21:14 at Benzie’s 2019 PROM (8th grade), then this past year, ran 19:27 on the same course
Her best performances came away from home – an 18:50 at Bluejay and a 19:06 on an unseasonably warm day at MIS
Her track season was rife with awards and accomplishments, among those a conference title, three All-States, AAU titles, and just recently, a 6th place finish at the Cherry Mile
Let’s start with TJ’s 10:06 at the Bluejay Invite and do some comparisons
Coleman Clark ran 11:44 there in 2016 and finished his freshman year with a 16:39 PB
Mason Sumner ran 11:12 there in 2017 and placed 6th at MIS with a 16:23
Kenny Lewis ran 10:44 in 2019 and broke the elusive 17:00 as a freshman last year
His 16:21 at MMOC proved he can race at the additional distance
And the 10th place finish at AAU Nationals in December prove that he can race when faced with competition
He didn’t get the opportunity to lay down a fast 3200m in track, but his cross performances were so dominating and rated so highly that he’s included here
As with Whalen, his ratings correspond almost directly to Hunter Jones
