Before I get started with the predictions, projections, 50 Tickets, and all that, I wanted to give some love and attention to those that I haven’t much focused on over the years. These are some of the kids who may never get mentioned during the season or summer. The athletes that started their career in the middle or back, then shown great progression. I don’t know their stories, all I know is they brought their running to a new level in the spring, and have a very good chance of smashing their PRs come fall.
