The Rundown

In the wake of Romeo’s 2020 Boys team title, I tweeted this out:

Vince must’ve taken note, because if this timeline isn’t similar, I don’t know what is. Back in 2020, four races populate Vince’s resume. Beginning in the 22:30’s and ending in the 20’s, but all four above the 20-min. mark. Marked improvement as a sophomore, running the majority of his races in the 18’s, though not even touching his potential that he’s realized in these days.

What is that potential he’s realized? Well, it started during his sophomore year of track, where in mid-April, he freed his mind, unlocking the ability to hang with the top groups of Bulldog boys. What ensued in the coming months were a series of 4:30’s, a sub-10, and a State Finals appearance. Showing the track season was no fluke, that only continued into cross, where Vince closed the year with sub-16’s in five of his final six races.

Let’s see if we can keep the tradition going. If you’re reading this and you were a freshman boy who no one quite knows of, look to examples such as Vince and shock us all.
