The pastor of my church ran XC on scholarship for Texas A&M back in the day. He now has 2 sons – one in 8th grade and one in 6th. This year they have finished 1st and 2nd every single race they’ve been in and they haven't even been close. They run long distance. Collin Hahn and Randy Hahn for Matoaca Middle School.
I just did some research. These kids are legit. As long as they aren't being hammered by their coach or dad at this point, they could be on the path to McDougalness. Yes, I went there.

It will be interesting to see how these kids develop. Their times are solid, but they have a lot of developing to do before they would be considered a blue chip type recruits. Plenty of freshmen run those times and never break 4:16 in high school. Others develop into sub 4:10 guys that any top program would be interested in.

Interesting how these times have changed very little over the years. VT gobbled up my high school buddy, Barry Monteiro. He was running a 4:09 mile at Bayside HS back in 1974. Ended up at tech on a full scholarship. After college I recruited him to the airline biz and we still work together.
