Riley Hough made a big move on the downhill to pick up the national high school cross country title in San Diego.

Cook won at RunningLane last week and will try to win a second national title on Saturday in San Diego. Sherry broke the VCP course record but will face stiff competition from Zane Bergen, Riley Hough, and others. *MB: The 2021 Eastbay XC champs are Saturday. Who you got?

This week we talk about HS phenoms Claudia Hollingsworth, Jaylen Slade, & Hobbs Kessler as well as college phenoms Travis Laird and Tara Davis, take a deeper look at the Notre Dame men's depth, compare the state of British marathoning in 1980 and 2021 and rave about Linden Hall and Gavin Sherry, who crawled across the line to break 9:00 in the two-mile.
