Only 1 half-lapper has been No. 1 twice: Brendan Christian… Double No. 1s go to a quartet: Clinton Davis, Roy Martin, Chris Nelloms & Noah Lyles… Christian is also the only soph ever to be No. 1 and just 1 of a half-dozen 10th-graders to rank at all… In ’16 Tyrese Cooper became the only frosh ever to rank. His total of 3 rankings joined him with Brendan Christian & Noah Lyles in that department… A notable father/son combination: dad Calvin Smith (No. 1 in ’79) and son Calvin Smith Jr. (No. 2 in ’06) both make the list.
