Published by
Leon HS, Tallahassee, FL, c/o 2024 Patrick Koon's introduction to running came at a very young age. Growing up in Bentonville, Arkansas, 4 year old Patrick would accompany his dad, Bryan, to the local Rush Running store who had an organized running group. He enjoyed the weekly track sessions and was “hooked.” At age 5 he completed his first 5k and then began racing five races throughout the year. Patrick has continued his ascent in the Florida high school history ranks capturing a 3A state cross country title the past two years and adding another in the 3,200m state title this past year competing for Leon High School. Nationally, Patrick has stamped himself as one of the best all- time this past season. He finished fourth in the 5k at the New Balance National Indoor meet in a time of 14:11.92, the sixth fastest time in US high school history. At Arcadia Invitational, he finished seventh in the 3,200m in 8:44.95, the tenth fastest time by a junior in US high school history. More videos |
