Athlete: Patrick Parker
School: American Fork High School, UT
Graduation Year: 2017
Patrick Parker had a strong 2015 season that included a ninth-place finish at the Utah state cross country championships and a 47th-place finish at NXN 2015. He also dropped some impressive times: 15:10.20 in the cross country three-mile, 9:04.51 in the 3200m, 4:06.72 for the full mile, and 1:53.48 in the 800m. Parker is bound to shock the country this year -- he has already shown up big by defeating his heavily favored teammate, NXN 2015 champion, Casey Clinger, in the Pre Region 4 Meet this season. Parker's opponents better keep their shades on -- his 2016 season looks very bright.
