The Rundown
Running as a freshman on a state title squad and with his first two years looking up to his older brother, Caleb learned from some of the best.
He’s been applying that knowledge all throughout his career. You could see the payoffs in various instances. One example might be putting things together late in his freshman year, running four straight mid-17 efforts, coming in as the 7th man on the victorious Bulldog team.
A greater one would be the jump he made into his sophomore year, where Caleb took on a more patient racing strategy that led to low-16 performances. Time was one thing too, he was a high placer in his conference, county, and regional.
An even greater effect could be seen on the track this past spring, where his track times precipitously dropped, meet after meet. You saw sequences such as 4:35 > 4:30 > 4:25 > 4:22 or a 9:43 personal best that quickly became 9:16.
He’s learned to race in championships and he’s becoming super fast.
