Jack Ouellette, Xavier (Conn.): At the Yale Track Classic over the weekend, the senior notched his fourth PB of the indoor season, this time making history in the 3000m. Ouellette clocked 8:28.33 to move atop the national leaderboard, making him the fastest in the nation so far. The senior led two other boys under 8:30 at the Coxe Cage, and moved up to No. 8 on Connecticut's all-time lists. Ouellette has flexed his range on several occasions this winter, running 2:29.98 for 1k and 4:23.34 for the mile.
Kyler Brown Oklahoma Cheetahs Track Club (Okla.): The newly-minted Oklahoma state record holder in the 60m had himself a day at the Prentice Gudgen Invitational at Pittsburg State University, winning both rounds, stopping the clock at 6.69 in the final. Brown's performance makes him just the 50th high schooler to ever break 6.70, and puts him at No. 2 in the United States this season. The state champion is already off to a hot start and we aren't even two weeks into the new year.
Aiden Bryant, Midlakes (N.Y.): The New York-based junior has had himself an incredibly busy indoor schedule, already competing in five different events at six meets over the last five weeks. So far, Bryant has set PBs in the long jump, high jump, 300m, and 55m, but most recently shattered his previous best in the long jump, soaring to the top of the national leaderboard. Bryant soared to a 24-10.75 mark at the Jack Reed Showcase in Rochester, N.Y., which makes him the fourth-best long jumper in state history, and one of 29 high school boys to ever jump 24-10 or farther indoors.
