This Week's Nominees:

Tyler Morring, Ardmore High School (Alabama): The 5K distance at the Kudzu Hills Invitational didn't slow the winning pace, as a 15:42.04 clocking separated the champion from the rest of the 206-runner field by 48.7 seconds. That time also sits at No. 2 of 4,462 athletes in MileSplit's database at Cold Springs High School since 2005, and No. 2 among senior athletes in MileSplit's database on this course, after coming in 18.3 seconds faster than the prior mark there.

Jayden Phelps, Alexandria High School (Alabama): The Munford Invitational (Corn Classic) came down to a 7.2-second margin, with a 5K crossing of 15:59.14 good enough for first place among all 251 finishers. The time stands as the fastest junior mark in MileSplit's database at Munford High School since 2022, and it improved a prior showing on the course by 31.4 seconds.

Quinn McCurry, Westminster School at Oak Mountain (Alabama): First place out of 214 finishers came at the Thompson XC Classic + Shelby Co. (HS & MS), where the 5K distance was covered in 16:12.30, good for a 7.4-second margin. The performance ranks No. 28 of 2,894 athletes in MileSplit's database at the University of Montevallo XC Course since 2011, and No. 3 among sophomores in MileSplit's database on this course, a 57.5-second improvement on the prior mark there.

Nehemiah Johnson, Hazel Green (Alabama): Second place out of 334 finishers at On Twilight at PR'ville came via a 5K time of 15:06.10, a clocking that put the runner at No. 193 of 13,550 athletes in MileSplit's database at John Hunt Running Park since 2009, and No. 127 among seniors in MileSplit's database on this course. The time also came 26.5 seconds faster than the previous mark there.
