The 2021 IHSAA State meet was loaded with upperclassmen talent as the top 29 places consisted of all juniors and seniors. Of those 29, eight athletes are back this year as seniors to make their mark on the 2022 season. This year's top returner is senior Kole Mathison of Carmel (right on cover photo for this article) who was 4th at the IHSAA State Cross Country Meet last year and is coming off a track season winning his first State Championships in the 1600 meter and 3200 meter runs. Parker Mimbela of Center Grove (pictured above on the left) ran the 3rd fastest time last year amongst returners while also running to an All-State finish at the State finals. Jay Pillai of LaPorte (pictured above far right) is the 6th returner from last year's State meet and looks to add to this talented Senior Class heading into the 2022 season.
Take a look below at the remainder of the Top 500 returning senior boys in the State of Indiana.
