Quenton Lanese: The Freshman Phenom Shatters the Sub-9 Barrier at Arcadia

I’ve said it before, and I will keep saying it until proven otherwise: Quenton Lanese is special.

The freshman stepped onto the track at the Arcadia Invitational, lined up in heat one of the 3200m Open, and shattered the 9-minute barrier.

The stats speak for themselves:

  • #1 Freshman in the USA

  • #2 Overall in Washington State

  • Washington State Freshman Record

He simply does not miss. Unfazed by the spotlight of a massive stage, he operates with a smooth, calculated calm that is dangerous for anyone lining up next to him.

He is a freshman.
