The season's top boys race saw Parker Wolfe set a new US No. 1 time and score an unofficial national championship win in Alabama
With a few organizations opting to cancel their national championships cross country events in 2020, a bevy of new suitors stepped to the line with the hopes of showcasing the tantalizing speed and ability of the country's top runners.
But perhaps the best race of the fall season took place on Nov. 21 in Huntsville, Alabama, as Cherry Creek (CO) senior Parker Wolfe held strong over the John Hunt Park course before making a dominant move with just over a half-mile left to earn a new US No. 1 5K time of 14:26.94 at the RunningLane XC National Championships.
A total of 32 runners broke 15 minutes on the day.
At first, though, it was the Kamari Miller show, as the Marietta (GA) senior pushed the pace through a 4:30 mile and continued through a second strong mile.
But with the University of North Carolina recruit closing strong, Miller waned.
Wolfe's training at altitude, and the overall success and confidence of his season, made a difference as he made a push for first, winning the first big national race of his career.
