The Rundown

Finding his niche on the track these past two years, Brandon has gradually moved up the leaderboards into one of the top mid-distance runners in the State. This was first evident as a freshman, where he ranked in the top-50 Division 1 freshman in the 800m, though he has rocketed these past two years. As a sophomore, he competed exclusively in the 2:0x’s, before closing 0.69 shy of a sub-2. This spring, he left no doubt toward shattering that mark, running back-to-back 1:56’s at Region 4 and Division 1 State. All this talk about track, it ain’t as if he struggles on the grass.

In fact, his ranking here is even more impressive. Many of those on the list have moved up due to their 3200m times, as I believe that distance has a greater correlation to cross success. Concentrating on the 800m this spring, he didn’t have that benefit. During the fall, he closed with six consecutive sub-16’s, including a 15:35 final race at Shepherd. He medaled at everything, from grand stages at Portage and Jackson. And his 12^th place at State was 29 places better than his sophomore season. A guy excelling at everything, who will be a terror for anyone nearby on any finishing stretch.
