The Rundown
Writing these requires jogging the ol’ memory bank, and that recall includes thinking that Alex would be impactful at the high school level. And why not, as the dude was a steady 11-min. performer in middle school.
Well, it’s gotta carry over to high school and it sure has. Moving around from region to region has had no impact on his ability to deliver in late October, as Alex has rattled off three straight top-10 regional finishes. The State Finals have gradually gotten better, Doneth moving from 71st during his freshman campaign to now last year, 32nd.
The 9:27 from track season shows the train is still rolling, knocking 3 sec. off his sophomore best. His State Finish wasn’t quite as low as 2023, but he did come away with a CAAC Red victory in the 3200m. Nothing flashy from Alex, but that’s okay, the fast times and gradual progress speak for themselves.
