SOME FAMILIAR FACES head the list of 2024’s top high school boys. A full half-dozen of last year’s No. 1-rated All-Americas are back: Christian Miller (200), Juriad Hughes (LJ), Karson Gordon (TJ), Ben Smith (SP), Bryce Ruland (DT), Brayden Platt (JT).
Classes: ** = frosh; * = soph; = junior; all others are seniors. + = time converted from metric race; w = illegally wind-aided; (A) = altitude over 1000m (in aided events only).
The mark listed with each athlete reflects his PR, through the first weekend of February. The top 20s in standard events:
