50 Tickets to Brooklyn: #13

Envisioning the future, I can see Allie on the starting line of the Olympic Trials 10k or Marathon
She has the drive, she has the training (I’ve heard of her legendary workouts with Paul McMullen), and she has the results
They’ve come all throughout her career – she’s been running in the 17’s in each of her three high school seasons
They’ve come in big meets, as she’s finished All-State six times in both XC and Track
She also has great range, running as low as 61 for the 400, but also breaking 11:00 for the 3200m

It’s like clockwork – Henry always outperforms his rating at the end of the year
- As a sophomore, I had him outside the top 50, he finished 27^th
- As a junior, I had him 30^th, he finished 6^th
Each time, he’s run at least 10-15 seconds faster than his highest rated race of the season
Getting a junior track season also showed us a glimpse of his wheels, where he was able to run 4:18 at Larry Steeb
But it’s those performances in high pressure meets that drove his inclusion onto this list – races later in the season are weighed more heavily
It’s not just the State Meet, as he doubled down at the 2020 MITCA Meet of Champions, setting a new PB of 15:28
Provided some excellent conditions, I wouldn’t be shocked if he dips further into the low-15’s or beyond
