Analysis: Over the last few years, Crater has been one of the most talked about programs in the country thanks to the absurd athletes the program has produced. This year will be no different with seniors Tayvon Kitchen and Josiah Tostenson acting as the two-headed monster that's going to deal a lot of damage. While the senior duo will typically finish close together at the front of the race, Crater's 3-4-5 will act as an exclamation of sorts. Ivar Hokanson, Grant Headley and Maxwell Miracle all boast PB's within 13 seconds of one another, and if they keep that up again this year, there is no reason why this team can't win another state championship and punch another ticket to NXN.
