On The Bubble: 10 XC Boys On The Verge Of Making The Flo50




Athlete: McKay Johns
School: American Fork High School, UT
Graduation Year: 2017

After being injured for most of the 2015 cross country season, McKay Johns is looking to write an epic last chapter for his high school career. Despite being hampered by injury, Johns finished 32nd last year at the Utah state cross country championships and 31st at NXN 2015. With PBs that closely mirror the skill of his teammate Patrick Parker, Johns has demonstrated a lethal blend of speed and strength by running 15:05.20 in the cross country three-mile, 9:05.52 in the 3200m, 4:08.77 in the 1600m and 1:53.99 in the 800m. American Fork has the nation's best 1-2-3 punch in Clinger, Parker and Johns, and these three should push each other and their team to new heights this season.
