6 quartermilers have been No. 1 twice: Ronnie Harris (’74 & ‘75), Bill Green (‘78 & ‘79), Clinton Davis (’82 & ‘83), William Reed (‘86 &‘87), Kelly Willie (‘01& ‘02) & Bryshon Nellum (‘06 & ‘07)… Reed’s first No. 1 came as a soph in ‘86, and he remains the only 10th-grader to top the list. Reed repeated as No. 1 as a junior, but foot injuries kept him on the sidelines during his senior year…
Tyrese Cooper (’16) is the only frosh ever to rank and he made it with a No. 1… Willie, Chris Nelloms and Desmond Johnson are the only other ones to make the team 3 times. Willie added a No. 5 as a soph before his pair of No. 1s, Nelloms rated No. 1 as a senior and No. 2 as a soph and junior before that, and Johnson was No. 2 as a soph, followed by a pair of No. 3s… Two sets of brothers make the compilation: Michael (‘83) and Marlin (‘88 & ‘89) Cannon, as well as twins Alvin and Calvin Harrison (both ’93). Marlin Cannon was No. 1 in ’89, as was Alvin Harrison in ’93.
