    In HS, the guy ran 4:13.96 for 1600 (so 4:15.49 equivalent in mile) and now a year later he's the Big 10 mile champ.

    Yes, Adam Spencer wasn't in the 1500 and yes McFarland was best known as an 800 guy in HS (1:50.68 pb and 9:14 for 3200) but it's impressive development nonetheless.

    1 Trent McFarland FR-1 Michigan 3:43.59 10
    2 Nick Foster SR-4 Michigan 3:43.64 8

    I'm from Michigan, he was a clear big talent in high school. He was super undertrained. Was a basketball player so this is his first full year running. He also ran about 15:15 in cross country. Very impressive talent.

    sully is a pretty bad coach otherwise though. michigan routinely gets the best in state talent every year and lights it on fire. 99% of em dont pan out or maybe by their last season as 6th years run a mediocre 8:48 steeple (fake, cop-out event unless you're elite) and celebrate. sully should be gone.

    20 pts for UM in the 1500m says you're wrong.

    His HS coach ran for Kevin Hanson in HS.

    Untrained 15:15 xc / 1:50 is a fairer HS profile.

    I had also heard Trent was a baseball player in hs. He definitely had a great first year of running only training. Congrats to him. I am excited to see what the future holds.

    As for Sully, I think he has a way to train and it seems to work for a lot of kids. I respect that he sticks with kids and isn't out there scouring the portal for 23-year old replacements. He's faithful to a fault. Kids get injured. School can be tough (esp UM).

    I mean look at Tom Brady and Nick Foster. They did well. Some of the others guys struggled but my understanding was there a few injuries this season. Miles Brown has struggled with consistency but he's also coming back from a serious leg injury. Camden Law has a good year as a freshman, as did Nathan Lopez before he was injured. The sophomore class has improved as well.
