The Top Six Boys Races To Watch At The VA Showcase


* We filmed a Workout Wednesday with Green in September


Racing Toward Sub-4:05


One of the more compelling races of the weekend will be the boys mile, where athletes will be eyeing up a chance to drop a sub-4:05 mile. 

Only four athletes ran faster than that mark a year ago, and four of those marks came in one race -- the Quarantine Clasico, an event that saw Leo Daschbach break 4 in 3:59.54. 

Only one other athlete, Rheinhardt Harrison, managed to be among that group, with a performance of 4:01.34. 

But a few athletes are looking to change that perspective here. One such athlete is Borah's Nathan Green, who ran 4:09.45 indoors last year before the season closed off.

The meet record here is a soft one: The mark of 4:13.63, last accomplished by Dalton Hengst in 2018, could and should be broken. 

The Idaho prep has a good opportunity to drop a career-best race here, as will performers like Sully Shelton of Georgia and Collin Peattie of California.
