Head Of Class... Again
A year after the Class of 2025 took over the national leaderboard for freshman, the Tennessee Class of 2026 nearly matched their predecessors a season later. Cleveland's Owen Clemons took the top spot in the nation with his 15:01 at Saturday Light Fever (his second 5K of the day), Radek Molchan of Knox Catholic ranked 13th with a 15:36 at Southern Showcase, and Brentwood's Kehler Vaughn comes in just three spots behind in 16th with a 15:38 at Jesse Owens. Only Texas had more runners in the national top 20 than Tennessee.
