Last year Thomas Smigo (Palisades) won the PIAA 1A state championship last fall. Smigo outran the field by eight seconds en route to his first career state title. He returns as a senior this year and is the top-returner based on his time at Hershey.
Oliver Michell (Jenkintown), Calan Bollman (Chestnut Ridge), and Sean Aiken (Eden Christian Academy) occupy the two through four spots, respectively. At last year's state championship, the trio crossed the line in third, fourth, and fifth. They round out the only returners from last year that have broken 17-minutes at the Hershey Parkview Course.
All four are ranked among the top 30 returners statewide.
Later today, we will give you a breakdown of "Ones to Watch" as we highlight some of the comers and goers at the PIAA 1A classification.
In the meantime, Check out our Top 500 Returning Boys Statewide based on times at Hershey.
