clueless selection bias. hmmm yes, it might help to start with the fastest fittest kids who win state to execute the strategy. i am sure if i have matt boling i max him out too
you take your merely above average kid or a state any good and this is self defeating nonsense. as i said, you would be trading points and exhaustion at a lower level for place/time/points further along the progression. unless you already know the kid is an absolute stud, it's short-sighted.
