Now · Freshman · Clemson Cross Country →Parker cracked sub-1:57 in April at Plymouth Whitemarsh (1:56.12), then held the 1:57 range through the championship season. After Districts he attacked: two open meets in three days — 1:55.66 → 1:54.37. He carried that fitness to New Balance Nationals Outdoor in June (1:54.83). Most seasons end in May.
From 1:56 in April to 1:54.37 in May — nearly five seconds off the 800m across the season, steepest after the championship window closed. The June mark at New Balance Nationals Outdoor (1:54.83) showed the fitness held into the national stage. The arrow still points down.
Every mark below is public on Athletic.net or Strava — meet pages are linked. The 1600m broke 4:20 in April; the 800m kept dropping through post-season open meets.
