1600 Meter Run
Antonio Camacho-Bucks - Centennial
Camacho-Bucks has made a name for himself as one of the top distance runners in the state. Just a few weeks ago, Camacho-Bucks won the 3A region of the 2021 Maryland State Championships and had the fastest time of the day. To add, he was the only athlete to run sub-16 on the course this year. He is definitely a triple threat with three number one rankings in the mile, 1500m, and 1600m events, all of which happened when he was only a sophomore. He also ranks nationally in at least three events: mile (8th, 4:14.50); 1500m (2nd, 3:59.32); and 1600m (6th, 4:12.96).
Tyler Dailey - Dulaney

Dailey is another strong competitor in the 1600m race as he ranks second. Last indoor season, Dailey was the seventh-fastest 1600m runner in the state. Additionally, Dailey had two more top 10 rankings include fifth in the 1000m and eighth in the 800m.
James Glebocki - Severna Park

Glebocki had a strong cross country and could very well have a dominating track season. He finished within the top 10 for Maryland cross country runners, and now he ranks high as a returner for indoor. Last indoor season, he ran an impressive 4:28.59 in the 1600m, which was the ninth-fastest in the state. Now, he ranks third. He also boasts a 2-mile time of 9:37.92.

Now, he's ranked as the top returner for the 3200m event after a blistering time of 9:27.14. He's also the top returner in the 2-mile event.

Synowiec was a previously unranked cross country athlete but became one of the top runners in the state by the end of the season. Just a few weeks ago, Synowiec was ranked the third-fastest athlete (based on 5K performances) in Maryland. Now, he's the second-ranked athlete for the 3200m event after breaking 9:30.
Andrew Schell - Walter Johnson

Schell had an impressive cross country season, finishing within the top 15 for ranked athletes based on 5K performances. Last indoor season, he ranked fifth in Maryland for two events: the 2 Mile and the 3200 Meter Run. Even more impressive is the fact that his 2-mile time was ranked within the top 40 nationally.
