For the first time in three years, Kevin Sanchez won't be the top dog in the Austin metropolitan area. There is a new viper returning with the top 5,000m performance, but the capital city is loaded with budding talent ready to take the reigns.
Dylan Schieffelin (Austin Vandegrift) enters with a 15:21 5K top mark from the 2022 season, but Christian Mathurin (Round Rock), Victor Aviles (Burnet), Joseph Wienen and Nolan House from Georgetown, Andrew Bachl (Austin Westlake), James Butler (Del Valle), Colby Huntress (Anderson) and Schieffelin's teammates Hudson Haley and Kai McCullough all checkin in under 15:40 from last year.
Here are the Austin area's top 500 returning boys at the 5,000m distance.
