Clarksville's Hayden Waleski had never run under 17 minutes before this season but broke through that barrier in his opening race. He finished runner up in the Silver Division at Saturday Light Fever and would walk his time down all the way to 16:11 before the season ended. It's a three minute and forty one second improvement from his best time as a freshman.
Class of 2024 Most Improved
What I really enjoy about lists like this is 1) it allows us to draw attention to athletes who may not see themselves normally in the traditional rankings and 2) it also shows the light at the end of the tunnel for any freshman who may be struggling to see it. In the top 35 alone are three athletes who have an individual state championship next to their name who ended their freshman year ranked outside the Top 150 in 2020: Colin Eckerman (XC), Joshua Cross (XC), and Kaleb Smith (Track). On top of that, Diangelo Cisto placed runner up last week as well. Even Miles Ramer makes an appearance in the Top 100 as well.. Distance running is personal and process and if you see someone you know on here, let them know and congratulate them on their improvement over their career.
