The best high school runners in Texas raced in the Congress Avenue Mile on Saturday morning, just a week after the UIL state track and field meet.

Connor Adams of Flower Mound High School outkicked the field in the boys elite competition, featuring the top 48 boys in Texas divided into four teams: north, east, south and west.

When competitors from throughout Texas began heading to Austin late last week for the UIL Track and Field State Championships, it appeared potential bad weather could be a “black cloud” over the event.

But when the squads arrived for the Class 5A Championships on Saturday, they were greeted with sunshine and great running weather.

And while the event was peppered with competitors from District 6-5A, only one runner was able to distinguish himself as a state champion.

Flower Mound’s Connor Adams grabbed gold in the 1,600-meter run, finishing in 4:12.12 to outpace Humble Kingwood’s Justin Brinkley (4:13.08) and fellow 6-5A competitor Craig Lutz of Marcus (4:15.08).

Adams had previously finished as runner-up to Lutz in the 1,600 at both the district and regional championships, but rebounded to take gold at state.

Excitement Builds for Congress Avenue Mile High School Elite race

The excitement is building as we inch closer to yet another Congress Avenue Mile High School Elite race. In a race that pits the top 48 boys’ and top 48 girls’ milers in Texas in a one-shot straight-down-the-street mile to crown Texas’ finest, the talent is as deep as ever. In some ways 2010 may mark the renaissance of the non-UIL (public school) runners, as FEAST home schooled Emily Dunn (4:58.3) is second in the qualifying on the girls side, and Texas Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) all-time record holder Dennis Hodapp of Austin Saint Michael’s (4:11.76) along with Southwest Parochial Conference (SPC) champ Tim Cousins of John Cooper School in the Woodlands (4:12.4) each lead their respective regions.

And when it comes down to the last quarter mile, the final stretch of a race, that’s when the “separation anxiety” starts to kick in.

A star senior at Flower Mound (Texas) High School in Lewisville, Adams has demonstrated that numerous times throughout his career.

In fourth grade recess, Connor Adams and his young classmates ran two laps prior to playing kickball, baseball or tag. Connor, however, kept running, eschewing the day’s team activity for individual freedom – and he hasn’t stopped.

Today, Connor is a Top-10-ranked XC runner according to DyeStat and has verbally committed to the University of Miami Hurricanes. “I want the opportunity to have an impact as a freshman and not redshirt. The coaching staff is wonderful (Head Coach Amy Deem) and will help me reach my goals. Miami’s also ranked in the top 50 academically.”
