Last Wednesday night it was a solo US#4 4:14.0 mile. A week later, Thomas Ratcliffe returned to the track once again and this time he was after a fast time in the two mile. Despite having little competition to push him, Ratcliffe flew for sixteen laps and came away with a new US#1 time of 8:57.47. After tonight's performance, Thomas become's only the 7th Massachusetts high schooler to run sub 9:00 indoor and currently sits at #4 All-Time.
