The Rundown

Those Alma boys come in running and they come in running FAST.

So fast even that long held school records aren’t safe. Thomas Larson started the record-busting tradition back in ’22. Then him and Zeke kept it rolling last year. I think this graphic sums it up better than I could write:

And it doesn’t even include Zeke’s 15:39 from the MITCA Meet of Champions.

Thinking in terms of the entire state, Baltierra can hold his own as well. His 15:47 at State was the 2^nd fastest time of any freshman, any division. Thinking in terms of how he ranked on the track, both his 4:21 and 9:24 ranked 4^th amongst all the state’s freshmen.

Competitive in Panther history and against his peers.
