Preseason Countdown: Boys' Individual #2


At this point you're definitely asking yourself how could someone who has only run 15:40 be our number two returning star. The two-word answer for that is: untapped potential. Ahmed Hassan has the most untapped potential in the entire state and when you couple that with a whole lot of talent you can get one of the best XC runners our state has ever seen. 

Check out Ahmed's Athlete Profile 

This past year Ahmed battled injuries off and on and despite facing those injuries was still able to win the indoor 6A state 3200m title in 9:26 and run an impressive 4:12 1600 outdoors. Now we know that 1600 and 3200 dominance does not transfer directly to XC but look what happened to Peter Smith. The writing is on the wall that in just a year's time Ahmed could be dominating the XC scene. 

Check out his athlete profile for yourself and see the improvements and impressive pr's that we are using to substantiate his place as our number two returning star.
