It didn't take Calvin Collander long to prove how much talent he had after he joined the Sehome cross country team in the fall of 2007.

The Mariners took him to the Nike Pre Nationals at Portland (Ore.) Meadows three years ago, and he ended up placing second in the freshmen race behind only teammate Scott Carlyle. Considering Carlyle went on to two straight top-five finishes at the Class 2A Cross Country State Championships, including an individual state title last year, that's pretty good company to be in.
