Over the next few days, you’ll hear the Walsh Ironman referred to as featuring the “stars of tomorrow.” Just to reinforce that saying, we’ve taken a look at the 2024 NCAA DI All-Americans and flipped through the pages of Ironman records to see if they placed at this major high school tournament.
I’m not sure what you’d expect, but these are the results. Just be aware that many states have travel restrictions, so there are plenty of collegiate stars who never had the opportunity to compete in the tournament, much less place.
