Michael Mooney, Easton Allred, and Harrison Scudamore all dropped considerable time from March to May.
The boy's 3,200 was perhaps even more explosive than the 1,600 this year - and that says a lot.
Led by Cole Sprout's Colorado state record of 9:01.53, 13 boys dipped under 9:30 this year. While Sprout stole the headlines for his record, Michael Mooney's massive drop to 8:50 (which started at 9:50) was just as impressive.
There were quite a few leaps this year. So many in fact, it's hard to note them all. But among the fronts of the packs, which saw nearly an average of about 15-seconds from March to May, Ryan Moen's 9:49 to 9:21 from April to May is a fairly massive jump - 28 seconds in fact. Likewise, Connor McCabe went from 9:48 in March to 9:26 in May.
Of the top 50 times, the biggest improvement came from Cody Danley. Danley ran 10:33 in March, 10:14 in April, and 9:42 in May. That's 51 seconds...
Of additional note, the lone runner within the top-50 that only ran two 3,200s this year...
