Analysis: After finishing fourth at Nike Cross Nationals and winning NXR Southeast and FHSAA titles, the boys in gold picked up right where they left off a year ago, already at the top of the Florida high school leaderboard. At the Cecil Field Summer Classic in Jacksonville, FL, superstar sophomore Marcelo Mantecon and his fellow Wolverines already have a win under their belt after going 1-4-5-6-7, totaling just 23 points. They handily beat 36 other teams, with second-place finishers sitting just under 180 points back of the Florida powerhouse.
Many people may have not seen Belen Jesuit's fourth-place finish at NXN coming, but it would be crazy for anyone to think that they weren't capable of doing it again, or even finding their way onto the podium. With a 1-7 split of 66 seconds, we advise you not to sleep on the runners out of Miami.
