#7 Burgess (a sophomore) ran a 9:03 in the PIL- his seed time was 9:41 in that race. Ran a 8:51 at state!

meh.

Klotz and Murray had good runs. I kinda expected more from Stoutenburgh and Keyser. Stoutenburgh ran this fast at Centennial, and that was with less competition.

8:5x isn't all that great, especially when it gets you 6th.

The point is that Burgess is a Sophomore who shaved a minute off his time in the 3000 this year and led the PIL. Just think what he could do with his next 2 years.

True. That does put him on the level of Taylor Morgan :) (who ran 8:5x as a freshman)
