The Rundown
Nolan entered high school during the covid year of 2020, learning one from one of the better guys to don a Blue Devil uniform – Joseph Gilbert. Now three years later, he’s writing his own legacy. Each fall season he’s shown significant improvement, dropping from mid-17’s to mid-16’s, then mid-16’s to multiple sub-16’s. His 15:51 at Greater Flint broke the 17-year-old school record, a 24th place finish at MIS clinched a dream to which he had been waiting. He’s raced to some of his better performances on the national stage during track, first a 4:28 mile indoors, then a 4:25 (while avoiding a brawl) outdoors. But Nolan brings the brawl in his training and his racing, and you know he’s gunning to lower that record and place much higher come November.
