By Over the last two years, Notre Dame Academy (WI) senior running back and four-star Wisconsin commit Kingston Allen had done nothing but shatter state records.
With a 297-yard performance in the Tritons' 28-17 semifinal win over Union Grove, he added another state career record to his total.
This time, it was the career rushing record as he shattered the old mark of 7,416 yards held by former Columbus standout Colton Brunell set in 2023. Allen's total entering his final high school game sits at 7,462 yards. More impressively, Allen did most of his damage in the second half on Friday, rushing for 222 yards over the final 24 minutes.
Not only did Allen set the career rushing mark, he broke a record that he set last year.
That record is the single-season rushing yardage record. As a junior, Allen set it with 3,436 yards on 356 carries. This year, Allen hasn't hit the 300-carry mark but still surpassed his old record, now sitting at 3,631 yards entering the Triton's state championship meeting with Monona Grove (WI) on Nov. 20.
Another state and a national record could be set by Kingston in the Division II state championship game.
State-wise, he sits just 19 points away from the state's career points record of 802 set by Random Lake's Luke Hagel. Hagel set the record in the late 1990's.
Nationally, Allen sits just three touchdowns away from tying the single-season rushing touchdown record set last season by former Knox (IN) star Myles McLauglin.
McLauglin's record by the end of the 2025 season was set at 71 touchdowns. Following Friday night's game where he scored four touchdowns in the win, Allen now sits at 68 rushing touchdowns for the season. He's rushed for four or more touchdowns in all but one game this year and has scored five or more touchdowns 11 times.
