Zach Kindel (Colonial Forge)
If you want to talk about under-rated, you have to begin that conversation with Zach's name. He is currently US #3 in the 500m dash and is only a sophomore. His time of 1:04.15 actually seeds him ahead of Bethel's Edward Richardon III who set the frosh national class record last year.
What this all means is, Zach is on pace to be the greatest sophomore all-time if he can lower that mark to 1:03.03. He will certainly have the competition at states to achieve just that.
He is also a 1:54 800m runner. He achieved that mark as a frosh at outdoor states. Be on the look out for him this post-season but since the 1K and 500 are back-to-back we can only expect a huge performance out of him in one of the two and then a very fast relay split in potentially both relays.
