The Preseason MileSplit50 Top 25 Boys Rankings Countdown


No. 3: Patrick Koon

- - - 

School: Tallahassee Leon (FL)

Year: 2024

2022 Notable Finishes: 1st at FHSAA Class 3A Championships in 14:56.70; 1st at FSU Invitational in 14:50.00; 1st at Southern Showcase in 14:43.09.

Analysis: The two-time reigning FHSAA champion is back for his final go-around in Tallahassee.

This year, Koon should set his sights beyond the state championship in his hometown, though. 

He may have a realistic shot to chase after a possible national title. A year ago, he won six races out of seven, including the Florida Class 3A state championships, before he called it a season. He ran a top time of 14:43.09 at the Southern Showcase and also won the FSU Invitational in September in 14:50.00.

What speaks more to Koon's opportunity is his most recent outdoor campaign, which saw him clock career best times of 4:14.09 in the 1,600m and 8:44.95 in the 3,200m.
