There was a Letsrun.com thread that caught my eye this morning:

https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=10845441&t=1631797867#10856695

There is a profile on Athletic.net for a kid named Caleb Vorin from Whiteoak with some pretty impressive times. But when you go and look at the official results for each of the meets listed, he is not in ANY of the official results. And his MileSplit profile has no results at all, these times only exist on Athletic.net. Whether it's just a joke/prank, or something with more nefarious intent, somebody must be faking these times on Athletic.net somehow.

I was curious if anybody in Ohio knew more about this, or even knew the Whiteoak coach, and could get more clarification on what's going on here. It's very suspicious.

Here is the kid's Athletic.net page:

And here is the blank MileSplit page (which oddly enough, has a profile picture)

I've heard of this kid before. He's either a transfer from Bishop Sycamore or he is one of Lauri Loughlin's nephews, I forget.

The kid could also be from that HS in New Jersey where the coach created fake results for an invitational that never happened in order to have some of his athletes "meet" the qualifying standards for NBON.

These types of stories are exactly why I create my OWN lists and not just rely on what Milesplit, AthleticNet or others create. I use them, but I qualify each and every person on lists that I create. There have been more than a few athletes who are listed, particularly so on AthleticNet, as being Ohio-based HS athletes when in fact they have not been. Milesplit is better with their algorithms than is AthleticNet, but both have issues.
