The Rundown
One of the benefits of these ratings is that you can project improvement before it happens. For instance, as a freshman, Seth moved from a guy running mid-17 efforts to breaking 17:00. So it was only natural that when he was running mid-16 efforts in 2022 that he’d have a slight improvement throughout the year. What was unnatural was his close. After busting out a massive PB in the OK Red Championship, he went on a streak of one great performance after another. 5th Place in Region 1, a 16:18 at State (on a course that’s getting increasingly tougher), then closing with a 15:45 on a legit Shepherd course. That momentum carried into track, where he dropped 10 sec. from his 800m, 20 sec. from his 1600m, and 60+ sec. from his 3200m. If this hot streak continues, Seth might be crashing the party in a huge way at MIS.
