The Rundown

Not gonna lie, I don’t know much about young Beckett, so this writing will be a learning perspective. What do we know? Well, Pioneer is about as good of a place to train if you’re a young runner. You have an experienced coach who’s seen it all. You have sensational freshmen to push you and upperclassmen to lead by example. You have all the hills in Ann Arbor (and virtually any route from Stadium and Main will end on an uphill).

Taking all of that into account, you can see why he moved from a sub-17 freshman to a sub-16 sophomore. That wasn’t just a year-to-year improvement, it was in-season too. 11^th at the first SEC Jamboree to 5^th at the final two. On flat courses, hilly ones, championship ones, he hovered around the 16-flat mark, breaking it twice. At State, he was 9^th amongst all freshmen and sophomores. Track is where Beckett especially moved up in these rankings, his 9:26 ranking 5^th when similarly filtered. Secretly speedy with a great support system.
