    Even though the season is young and not many states have opened their season yet, Kentucky looks strong with 8 athletes inside the Nation's Top 25 with 3 in the Top 10. Riku Sugie's 15:04 is currently the nation's second fastest time and he is on a mission to break the 15 minute barrier this season. 

    On the girls side, we place only 2 in the Top 25.
