[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for the kids that are good at track- did they start before HS or is it just the talent is there? I have been amazed at some of the times at our HS.[/quote]

A lot of these exceptionally good times are due to Covid. If you recall, outdoor cross country was the first thing to open up to these kids. They'd been stuck at home for then a year. They hadn't seen most of their friends in ages. School remained closed, but suddenly they could run outdoors on a team.

All of a sudden there were a gazillion kids running cross country. My DS was one of them. And he really took to it. By senior year he was running in the state finals and today he runs varsity track at a D1 school. Middle distance runner. And he's not alone. This is a very competitive generation of young runners.

The Covid generation are ridiculously strong runners. Every vaguely athletic kid became a runner during that time. And it brought in a lot of talent that may not have taken up running if it wasn't for Covid.[/quote]
