12 Boys To Watch In The Heartland Region


Matthew Meinke, Neenah (WI)

Wisconsin looks to have a pretty strong showing at Regionals this year with another Wisconsinite likely finishing in the top five on Sunday, and that's Matthew Meinke. He had a solid 5th place finish at NXR last year with a time of 15:01 and then went on to finish 28th overall at NXN in a time of 15:45. Following in Bosley and Ellenberg's footsteps, Meinke finished 3rd at the Midwest Invite with a 15:06 and 3rd at the State meet with a time of 15:33. Those are the only two races he has not won this year, and that performance at State helped lead his Neenah team to an upset of Middleton and a team championship.
