Ranking writeups
#2 — 1A Boys Week 1
Fifth in 1A at state in 16:07.2 and 24th at Cecil Field in 16:15, which is eight seconds up on Cunningham on the same course in the same conditions, and within eight seconds of his own state time on a day the average returner ran level.
Barton is the most consistent runner in the class and the argument for him at first is a real one — he beat the man ranked above him. He is second because 15:47.8 is nineteen seconds faster than anything he has run and because one head-to-head in August is thinner evidence than a season. Maclay ranks second in 1A as a team behind him.
