I know. Just playin along. Nobody had put him so I figured I would do the honors and put him on. Also the only other person I could think of would be Blake Bowers and he's not running.

Yeah I know. Blake was one of my favs to watch run cuz he was just an animal, but I guess that isn't the case anymore. I feel bad for the kid.....

Mine too. The way he runs that's just going out and leaving everything you have on the track. That is how everybody should compete.

Collin parrish will qualify in the mile and 2 mile for sure, since he usually wins them neway. Well unless Sam larson is at that meet.

Ben Jackson from Central is really good at jumps and he will more than likely be a top contender in triple and long.

Meaning he shouldnt have been brought up anyway because he will lose to Sam at the state meet.

Scott Murphy of DT should have an pretty good year. I was watching him long jump the other day in practice and it was his first time this season. He jumped a little over 20 ft even though he just got done with knee surgery. Once his leg starts getting stronger again, he should be well over 21 or close to 22 ft.

haha yeah dawg. starts with a M, ends in a Y.

In the football game vs Bott, he cranked his knee on the opening kick off. I think he tore some ligaments in his knee or something and then to make it worse, it started to heal by folding under the knee.

Yeah I just looked at the state meet times last year and there was a couple people who graduated in front of his 5 place finish. He will take 2nd or 3rd this year, which isnt bad at all. I don't think he could take Larson though.

no one could touch larson his junior year. this year'll be a walk in the park for him. the only one who i could see being competition for him is joash osoro from bismarck, and hes younger and less experienced than larson

I honestly think nobody will touch Larson this year. He's just to good.

Yeah, Larson is an animal, even Osoro had a tough time keeping up with him in XC. I remember at state, he crossed the finish line, not even winded, the kid is amazing.

Jeez those are pretty good lengths after a knee injury, he's gonna be insane when he's fully healed.

Osoro is a sophomore, but he is 17 years old, and turns 18 in August, which is not much younger than a lot of seniors. Plus, i'd say he has the genetics working for him if you know what i mean...i bet osoro will give larson a very tough race in the 3200m this spring.

No, he did not really fail a grade. He moved here from kenya about one and a half years ago. When he started school here he had to take some kind of placement test,  and as a result he ended up going into the 9th grade(last year) when he was 16 years old.

I think its only 21 years old. He will only be 19 when he graduates. He's gonna have a big advantage over his competition though.....

Collin is good runner. He wins the East meets but once he runs against the west he will be maybe in the top 5. Behind Larson, Osoro, Reichenberg

Collin has worked really hard this off season and i think he will be a lot better then what you guys think. All you guys do is look at last season and past times and results, but you need to look at NOW and THIS year.
