“Kaleb Nastari proved to be predictably stellar in what is often the most unpredictable event in the sport. The national leader entering the postseason, the Union Local High senior won his first national title at Nike Outdoor Nationals. His winning time of 1:48.31 two weeks earlier at the state meet broke the state record and slotted him into the Top 35 in U.S. prep history.”
