I'm from Louisiana. There aren't exactly a whole lot of great runners around, but there is this one who is pretty good. During cross country, over a hilly course he ran a 15:50 for a three mile. He can run a 4:40 mile, and as far as I know, his best 3200 is a 10:16. Is this very good? Oh, by the way, he is in the 8th grade.

That sounds pretty strong for an 8th grader. Doesn't always ensure greatness (or even improvement) down the road, but it's a very good sign at that age, assuming he hasn't already been trained into the ground.
