Solid 1K performance from Affolder and Loudoun Valley takes over the national lead in the 4x8.
7
Doesn't seem likely that anyone will be able to beat this squad in the 4x4 this season. They're just shy of the top ten all time after this weekend.
8
Brodey Hasty has begun to climb the rankings after taking a hit from the VA Showcase. The Millrose mile next weekend has big implications for the distance runners in the MileSplit50.

Really strong 33.86 300m from Carlon Hosten. Mario Heslop was the surprise winner at Dr Sander, but Hosten managed to beat Brendon Stewart in his runner up finish.

Murray continues to show impressive consistency. He moves up to the top five in the 60H and posted yet another sub-7.0 in the 60m.
20
Flournoy ran a season best 6.91 in the 60m.
21
To go with more fast relay times, Richardson also ran a 1:21 600m.
22
St. Anthony's finished third in the 4x8 over the weekend and move into the top ten in the country.
23
Owens has only been competing for a few weeks and is already under 22s in the 200m.
24
The Utah sprint star proved the early season fast times weren't a one-time deal. He won two titles at the Utah indoor championships over the weekend. He's now #6 in the 200m and ran 6.80 & 6.81 in the 60m.

Mario Heslop had the race of his life in the Dr Sander 300m. He took over a second off his previous season best to beat a very strong field.
28
Sean Dolan won the Dr Sander 1K and has shown solid range from the 800m up to the 1600m.
29
Gentil joins the sub-1:20 club in the 600m, which is a rare achievement for any year of indoor track.
30
Fogle won the RHFitPro 300m in North Carolina, but also was third in the 400m.
31
We're starting to see Alfred Chawonza work back towards peak form. He's very close to setting a new indoor best in the 800m and he set a new PR in the 600m.

Davis was 4th over the weekend in the Dr Sander 300m.
41
There's still potential for Richardson to climb back up the rankings, but he'll have to get back to his 2017 peak to do it.
42
Borzor performed well early on in the 400m but hasn't found the same success in recent weeks.
43
Causey has some work to do to prove that he can consistently jump toward 7'.

EXPLAINING MILESPLIT50:

These are subjective rankings of the top 50 athletes across all indoor track and field events. Feel free to reach out to MileSplit via email (travis.miller@flosports.tv) or on Twitter (@milesplit or @TravisMillerFlo)

Here are the attributes MileSplit considered when ranking athletes (in no particular order):

- IAAF points for ballpark numbers to compare performances across different events

- PRs

- Returning indoor track & field rankings

- Significant wins/results in previous indoor seasons

- More weight on "championship" events (I took stats and performances from ALL events into consideration, but championship events are more important at the national level)

- Participation in relays

- 2018 indoor track & field results

- Indoor competition frequency (these are rankings for indoor track & field, not necessarily the best all around XC/indoor/outdoor athletes)
