The Rundown

14th as a sophomore, 17th as a junior. 7th as a sophomore, 9th as a junior. The places may show that Simon was on a downward trend in his 3rd year as an Eagle. I’m gonna tell you that is the complete opposite of what happened, Simon was a markedly better runner this past year.

If you think about time during cross, look to the eight major, non-conference invites that GRC ran. In those eight races, Simon never ran slower than his sophomore self, averaging a 15-16 second improvement.

If speed ratings are the consideration, he was 4.1 points better in 2023 vs. 2022, the equivalent of 12 seconds per race.

You might make an argument that his championship season wasn’t on par with the previous one. That argument was put to bed during track, where Simon ran PBs in the 800m thru 3200m in the final two weeks of the season.

Peer beyond the surface and you’ll see someone who’s hit the times. The high placings on the podium will follow.
