On the résumé for incoming Notre Dame runner Drew Griffith:
He won the national boys cross country championship in December, set a national record for the fastest indoor 2-mile run by a high school runner in Boston in March (8:34.91), crushed Alan Webb’s 23-year-old national high school federation record in the 1,600-meter run at the PIAA Class 3A state meet (3:57.08) in Shippensburg, Pa. on May 24, broke the state record in the 3,200 the next day (8:43.72), and on May 30 in St. Louis ran the first of two four-minute miles in less than a three-week span.
That one, at the HOKA Festival of Miles, made him the 22nd ever high schooler to do so, and his time of 3:57.72 is the fifth-fastest on record among them.
