Yes, I know you linked, and I looked it up. Just offering a humble suggestion that it wouldn’t break your back to include that tiny scrap of information, 4:10xx, in your damn post so people might gauge if this last-to-firster is worthy of clicking a link. Would that be so hard? And spare me your godforsaken sigh.

CA had 7 guys under 9 in the 3200 here, only 3 are seniors.
this does not include Sahlman, Seymour, or the Youngs
2 more guys would have been under 9 as well, had they not tangled and gone down with 200 to go. They were both about 8:25 at 3k

Colorado had it's state meet a week ago and we had at least two performances worth mentioning here:
It's already been mentioned a couple of times already, Tayvon Underwood of Mead High School almost pulled off the quadruple (100,200,400,800) in Colorado's second largest classification (4A), after 7 races in 3 days here's how he ended up:
100: 10.67 (2nd)
200: 20.93 (1st)
400: 45.36 (1st, #1 time nationally)
800: 1:51.97 (1st)
Emma Stutzman of Pomona High School ran 4:39.94 for the girls 1600 in 5A, which is currently sitting 3rd nationally, and she ran that time at 5,551 feet above sea level!
Besides the obvious 45:36 standing out all by itself, what's really impressive is that Underwood had only run the 800 once prior to State...and that was the week prior, to qualify.

At the Kansas 4A State Meet, Eli Gilmore became the first boy in Kansas HS history to sweep the 400, 800 1600 & 3200. He ran 48.4, 1:53.9, 4:16.3 and 9:33.8. He was the 4A State XC champ and this year, he knocked 56 seconds off his 3200, and 6 seconds off each of the 1600, 800, and 400. Two of his personal bests came this weekend at 4A State.
I don't know many XC state champs who can run 48.4; very impressive kid. He's headed to Pitt St (Kansas) in the Fall. He looks like he could develop into a very strong 8/15 guy.
Not at Pitt state

The gorillas aren’t known as good mid-distance school. He’d be a top runner as a freshman. The climate isn’t great for distance running. Mid tier conference
he could totally kill it there and they were national champions ( mostly from sprints & jumps) but I have doubts

Meet (and, yes, I know that it doesn’t include the Newbury Park guys… and I
know that tactics play a role – but most of these guys ran their best time of
the season [or pretty close] here):
4:08.64 (season’s best)

4:08.84 (4:08.48)

4:14.18 (4:12.67)
CA’s population is approximately ten times that of
Oregon.It was a pretty good year for the distance boys in Oregon.
Maybe it’s just the shoes, but I heard that they have those
same shoes in CA.not a fair comparison CIF is not set up to run fast times. Cal runners have to race their hearts out every week to qualify for the following especially southern section. Cal runners have to choose between 3200 or 1600 because they are only a few hours apart and qualifying for both is too difficult because of how much they race. fresno is hot and windy and they raced the day before to qualify. If you want to compare runners by PRs go to athletic.net and click fastest 3200 meter runners and 1600 by state

Fresno is as hot as hell, can confirm.

not only that but the majority of Cal talent does not make it to the finals. Tons of talent get eliminated early on that could potentially run 4:10s. A 8:49 guy and 8:53 guy had a slightly off day in one of the preliminary races and couldn't make it to the state for the 3200. If you get a slight injury, your season is over because you have to run fast to qualify through league, cif prelims, cif finals, cif masters, cif state prelims, cif state finals. CIF is not a place to run fast times, the more talented and experienced runners try to save what they can for the last race. While tons of runners burn themselves out through the cif system.

in addition half of the talent pool leaves the 1600 to focus on the 3200 because it is too difficult to qualify for both.

I love this thread as following HS can be very time consuming. I'm going to make this thread an annual affair so I've added "2023 edition" to the title.
I am the OP and agree that it is hard to keep an eye on the whole nation without some kind of thread like this. Usually people start a "Joe MF Shmoe Runs 3:49" thread for each state and each event. This is better, I think...
That said, I am surprised how many people are just posting everything from their State meet. I guess I didn't do a very good job defining "amazing" when I started the thread.
For me, "amazing" is a result that would stand out in the history of your state or which is among the top in the whole country. The result can be either individual (e.g. Gorze's 8:04) or a group (30 boys under 3:59 in the 1500m). But I failed to make that clear...

Texas girl ran a 51.5 400 at the state meet that's pretty good.

All of your points (qualifying through to make the State Meet, having to choose between 1600m & 3200m, the heat of Fresno) are valid.
So I looked at the top 10 on Athletic.net for CA & OR.
The #10 time in CA this year is 4:09.66; Oregon's (conversion from 1500m or 1 mile) is 4:09.99 (3:52.83/1500m).
CA OR (converted from 1500m or 1mile)
3:58.96 4:03.92 (Cutting/1500)
4:07.16 4:04.05 (Gorze/mile)
4:07.64 4:06.19 (Shipsey/mile)
4:07.90 4:06.24 (Heslam/1500)
4:08.48 4:06.61 (Tostenson/mile)
4:08.64 4:06.63 (Mitchell-Reiss/mile)
4:09.27 4:07.69 (Law/mile)
4:09.39 4:09.97 (Danielson/1500)
4:09.48 4:09.98 (Anderson/mile)
4:09.66 4:09.99 (Augustine/1500)I am not saying that Oregon is "better" than CA, but I am saying that it's a pretty good show in comparison to another state with 10x the population. (And, yes, of course I know that CA's list does not include Lex & Leo; I simply used athletic.net as instructed.)

Why do people continue to insist on using Athletic.net? Entire STATES on the East Coast/Mid-Atlantic aren't even on there like Pennsylvania, which hss massive and has depth.

Both Oregon & California use athletic.net pretty extensively, so for this particular comparison it's a pretty good resource.
If you'd like to post the top 10 from PA using a different resource that would be cool to compare. Oregon doesn't use MileSplit at all - so I don't have a subscription that allows me to see PA's list....10 -

Colorado Commit and Senior Kole Mathison split 150.9 in the 4x8, ran 409 in the 1600, and 853 in the 3200 to give his team a shot at the state title. This is was in a single class, single day meet on a day where temps reached 91 in Indiana. Great stuff.

Owen Bosley (Drew Bosley’s brother) wins with an 8:55.
Oconomowoc’s Vance second with a 9:06. Teammate H Triebold gets second with a 9:10. Oconomowoc got 2nd at the XC state meet last year.Stevens Point results (NXN qualifying team)
3 - B Erickson - 11 - 9:08.
7 - Franzen - 11 - 9:12.
9 - C Erickson - 9 - 9:17. That’s barely over 1 second behind Lenn who ran a 9:16 here. Battle of the state’s top freshmen here.
Notice how small the gap between the 3 SPASH runners was here, and that all those guys are returning next year. They actually return all of their XC scorers from last XC season00 -
RI State Track & Field meet today - high temp about 53 degrees, winds up to 11mph, cloudy
Sophia Gorriaran (Moses Brown) only did 2 individual event, 1500m (4:35.24, 2nd place 4:38.35) and 800m (2:06.52 MR, 2nd place 2:16.27), and then ran a sub-55 split for the 4x400 anchor leg to secure her team the win by a margin of 8 seconds (4:02.08, second place 4:10.12).
The biggest "newsworthy" items surrounded the West Warwick girls team. They have a freshman girl who won 4 individual events (doesn't happen very often in RI, the last time a girl did that that I recall was back in 2001 - HJ, TJ, LJ, and 200). Lisa Raye (West Warwick) won the 100m (12.23, -3m/s wind, 2nd place 12.49), 200m (24.95, -3m/s wind, 2nd place 25.55 [happened to beat her sister]), 100H (14.87, -1.6m/s wind, 2nd place 16.25), and 300H (44.08, 2nd place 47.91). Her school ended up winning the girls' team title (I believe their first in school history). Another amazing thing is that their winning score of 67 points was done with only 3 scorers - the freshman quad winner (40 pts), her older sister (won 400m, 2nd in 200, 3rd in 100 - 24 pts), and a high jumper (6th - 3 pts) (top 8 score). Team only had 6 girls total competing at the state meet.
For the boys, US #2 Christian Toro (Lincoln High) set a new season best to win the state title in the hammer throw (229-03) over US #1 Ethan Wordell (2nd, 220-01). Rankings based on 6/1/23 ranking from hmmrmedia.com.
