Ask anyone in South Florida what the most well known course in their area is and they will tell you Larry & Penny Thompson Park simply shortened down to Larry & Penny. The venue in Miami hosts over a dozen events each year. Only ten boys have ever broke 16 minutes on the challenging course. We look at the top of 2016 and the 500 best all-time.

2016 was a good year for Floridians at NXNSE. For the first time in the meet's history, the Sunshine State sent two individual qualifiers to the national meet in Portland, Oregon. Pine Crest freshman Tsion Yared finished 4th overall while Bolles junior Caitlin Collier nabbed the final spot as the 5th best individual not on an advancing team. As the duo looks to make their marks this weekend, we take a look at Florida's history at NXN.

Sukhi Khosla ran the fastest time ever by a Floridian at NXNSE in 2014 when he finished runner-up in 14:56.00. Only two other Sunshine State standouts Elliot Clemente (2012 champion) and Franco Martins (2014) have broken 15 minutes on the Wake Med course during this meet. Check out the state's fastest times at NXNSE!  

Jimmy Clark and Ryan Pickering's epic battle in 2010 produced the top two times ever in meet history, 14:53.29 and 14:55.48, one year after Matt Mizereck and Armando DelValle went 14:56.21 and 14:56.84. That quartet are the only athletes to ever break 15 minutes while 29 have gone under 15:30 in the past 17 years. We take a look at the top 500 all-time best boys times at the flrunners.com Invitational.

Armando Del-Valle remembered what happened at last year’s state championship when he faced off against Ryan Pickering, the Oregon signee out kicked him in the final moments to take home the title. This year at the Florida Relays, Coach Jorge Fleitas decided they would turn the tables.
