Congratulations Drew Griffith for winning the PIAA State Cross Country Championship with a time of 15.23!

The fastest time in Pennsylvania history. The second-fastest on Virginia soil ever. The 16th-best performance in the high school record books.  Drew Griffith had himself a day at the MileStat Invitational.  The Butler (PA) senior unleashed a ridiculous time of 14:21.00 for 5,000 meters on Saturday to claim the elite boys race at Pole Green Park, coming up just two-tenths of a second short of tying Drew Hunter's all-time soil record of 14:20.80 from 2015.  Griffith won by a full 22 seconds, which is saying something because runner-up Berkley Nance ran 14:43 and Calvert Hall's Cameron Davis was third in 15:00. But Griffith did do another thing, too. The Notre Dame commit passed Archbishop Wood graduate Gary Martin ('22) with the fastest-time by any boys athlete in Pennsylvania history, moving past the current Virginia athlete's top time of 14:24.16 from 2021 at the Garmin RunningLane XC Championships.  To top it off?  Griffith's performance lands him squarely in the top 20 all-time for high school boys. His performance was the 16th-best effort across the sport.    PHOTO CREDIT:  Nolan Jez/MileStat ARTICLE AUTHOR:   Cory Mull, Milesplit Author LINK TO MILESPLIT ARTICLE:    https://www.milesplit.com/articles/340253/drew-griffith-clocks-16th-fastest-5k-of-all-time-at-milestat ...
