Boys 3K
German Fernandez owns the national record of 7:59.83 and he posted that mark in 2008.
Closest Overall: Galen Rupp, Portland Central Catholic (OR), 8:03.67, 2004
Closest in 2018: Cole Sprout, Valor Christian (CO), 8:13.85
Prediction: Fernandez is the only high school athlete to ever break 8 minutes in the 3K. The last athlete to break into the top 10 was in 2010 (Joseph Rosa), and he ran 8:08. Tough mark here. Not going down.
