Athlete: Seth Hirsch
Year: 2017
School: Millard West High School, NE
Analysis: As a junior, Seth Hirsch destroying the 2015 XC scene. He won the Nebraska State Cross Country Championship, took third at Nike Cross Nationals Heartland Regional, placed sixth at Foot Locker Midwest Regional, ninth at NXN 2015 and showed some amazing strength as he went from last to a ninth place finish at Foot Locker Nationals. Being one of the top underclassmen finishers in every race he ran in last year, you can expect a top five finish if not a national title from Seth Hirsch in 2016.
