Vos continues to perform, his improvement from his 10th grade year to Senior season has been impressive.
XC 2022 was when he really broke out. Must have had an awesome summer of training before then

i have not followed HS running in MN closely lately, but wondered, while trying to catch up this year, is Raceberryjam dead? Where is best place to look?

Milesplit and athletic.net have the schedules and results. These websites also tell you where the live results are for some meets.
Mechura playing the long game, not over racing. With good conditions he should be sub 9 at hamline, aiming for a PB I'm sure as well.
Congrats on his commitment to UNC. Will be fun to follow two Minnesotans on the squad.
Final Hamline Entries are out!
800-
Cade, Leibfried, and Layton scratch to focus on the 1600. Little surprised Cade does, but he did the same last year.
Top 2 seeds are Hopkin’s Risser and Anoka’s Peterson- both 400/800 guys.
Top returners from last year at Hamline is Leuer (4th) and McMillan (7th)
Top returner from last year at State is McMillan (5th)
Bjorn is doing 1600/800- one of other 2 guys doubling open distance events (Sutter in 16/32)
Last qualifying time is now 1:59.28, whole second faster than 2:00.27 last year
1600-
Scott, Fries, Stuwe, I Anderson and Just all scratch to focus on 3200
Top 5 seeds all seniors
Top returners from last year at Hamline is Sutter (5th), Bjorn (7th), and Cade (8th)
Top returners from last year at State are Bjorn/Ahrens (2nd/3rd in A), Lindgren (4th in AA), and Sutter (7th in AAA)
Last qualifying time is now 4:28.94, faster than 4:29.22 last year
3200-
Kissell, Vos, Big Lake duo, and Santiago all scratch. Surprised Kissell chooses 800 instead, but he does have much better chance of winning it then the 3200. Same with Vos picking the 1600.
Top returners from last year at Hamline is Mechura/Scott (1st/2nd). Rest of top 8 finishers were all seniors.
Top returners from last year at State are Scott, Mechura, and Sutter (3rd/4th/5th)
Last qualifying time is now 9:40.07, slower than 9:37.95 last year
This is definitely the race I'm most excited for between Scott, Mechura, Weber, and Fries. Wish Sutter would be fresh but he’ll be in the mix too.
With all the drops - I wonder if some coaches are opting to run today with the weather being significantly better? Decent chance it gets cancelled tomorrow anyway with the weather forecast.

This is what happens every year. Coaches put their runners in multiple events to keep options open then scratch from all but 1 or 2 events before the 11:59pm on Wednesday deadline. Unless you're a top performer whose main focus is the 1600, it doesn't make much sense to double, imo.
Do indoor times qualify for Hamline? The top 3 indoor 1600 runners are not in the field, and all of their times are faster than the slowest entry.
Yes, indoor times count. Not sure what list you're looking at, but what I have (athletic.net) is:
Indoor 1600
1) Sutter 4:17 (in 1600 and 3200)
2) Stoner 4:24 (in 1600)
3) Williams 4:24 (not in the meet--looks like White Bear Lake isn't participating)
If you're looking at the indoor mile mile...
1) Just 4:22 (in 3200)
2) Mechura 4:23 (in 3200)
3) Santiago 4:24 (in 1600)

Great layout and analysis, thanks for doing this!
Sutter running both the 1600 and 3200 against this competition is brave! With both Fries and Stuwe scratching the 1600 in favor of the 3200 makes me wonder if they are running the 4X800 with their teams. There is a 3 hour break between the 4X800 and the 3200 vs only a hour break for the 1600.
Speaking of the 4X800, Mankato East running a season best 8:04 without Isaiah Anderson running one of the legs is very impressive. That is a deep 800M team .
I agree the 3200 is the most interesting race. I really see it coming down to Scott and Mechura, if the weather is decent I think we could see a sub 9:00 time. The 1600 with a fresh Sutter vs Sanvik is also very interesting.
The 800 with everyone under 2:00 on the year is impressive, it's also impressive that only 4 of the 12 competitors are Seniors. A lot of great young talent in that race.
Looking forward to the event, hope the weather holds out!

I was looking at Milesplit. On athletic.net, the ones I saw were 3, 5, and 7 on the list and all faster than Santiago during the high school season (no Icebreaker).
According to this
The Bethel Invite tomorrow has been cancelled due to "tunderstorms."
Dickel 4:38
Sully Anez 9:36
For Hamline today, running events still starting at 5:15 but now it is a rolling schedule to try and get the meet through quicker before storms start
Wow, 46.93 from Dwyne Smith Jr. in these conditions? Amazing performance.
Also Sutter dominated the 1600 with a 2:04 last 800.
Mankato East and Marshall went 1&2 in the 4x800. Both are class AA and in the same section for XC

1:55 at Hamline. And he doesn’t do XC in the fall. He does football instead
