From running 1:48.84 in the 800, to breaking the national record in the 3200 (8:33), to obliterating the national high school record for the cross country 5k, Colin Sahlman is running in rarified air.

His former teammate Nico Young might've been on that list if Covid-19 hadn't destroyed the 2020 outdoor season. Nico was jammin as a senior, having broken the NXN course record, and then the 3,000 indoor national record. Fast. Edit: Colin's 1500 split from that indoor mile was 3.44, which is fastest in the nation this year. He could prolly go sub 3.40 outdoors.

He ran multiple sub four minute miles while in high school including in a state meet, on a cinder track, obviously running by himself. He ran under four minutes as a junior in high school. He made the freaking Olympic team when he was 17!! He was a household name in the United States as a teenage runner, which is simply unheard of.

I hate to mention it but PED's come to mind whenever I see something like this. Okay, so when one or even two individuals from the same team perform at this level over the course of many years I can easily accept that. But when I see year over year domination and multiple teammates performing at this level year after year it does beg the question.

@@kenhalal375 Yes, that thought does come to mind. I wonder how tight is the testing for that at high school level, and I'd guess there might not even be any. We'll see how these athletes do as time goes on if they continue to compete. Meanwhile, I'd still like to know more about their training too...Is it something unique that might explain their success?

Now that Colin is at NAU we can see that he still needs some serious development. On NAU which just accomplished the NCAA championship Colin was 6th or 7th man on the team. He is still a freshman and has only been through the cross country season. I am looking forward to what will happen next year after Lex and Leo arrive at Stanford and Aaron is added to NAU.

Arguably he should be in the Top 10. But factoring in that he has teammates pushing him all the time which most athletes never have and certainly the people in the top 10 list. Then factor in the new super shoes that have been supplying the world with so many faster times they should be outlawed. And of course the advances in technology with track surfaces and such and maybe he cracks the top 12 realistically compared to that group. Btw I was an editor for the first NXN for Nike and was a historian for years.

TRP - nit pick #1: Eric Holt did not "miss going under 4 minutes by 1/1,000 th of a second". He missed *going* *under* by *2* thousandths. Nit pick #2: because USATF and World Athletics still do not recognize XC certified courses, and because a variety of methods are used to measure XC 5Ks, there is little consistency in "5K" XC courses. This throws some shade on XC records at any particular distance. There is at least one XC 5K that has been measured with a steel tape, which would definitely be accurate IF proper measuring protocols were strictly adhered to. Then, "of course", elevation profiles vary hugely between courses. It is interesting but not necessarily valid that any 5K XC performance can be compared to another on a different course. Thanks for the great video.

Inasmuch as I admire the legendary Steve Prefontaine, there is no question that Sahlman’s resume dwarfs that of Prefontaine. Sahlman’s pace in the 3200 beats Prefontaine’s pace for his 2 mile record. Prefontaine did run a 13:52 in the 5k on the track, which is astounding, but Sahlman’s 14:03 5k national record in XC is clearly a better mark. (That said, Prefontaine, as a high schooler Prefontaine had essentially no competition, no elite coaching, no elite training staff, and ran on cinder tracks in rural Oregon in the 1960’s… but we’re not talking about how great Prefontaine could have been if he were in high school today, we’re talking about his actual achievements as much as they could be compared). I can’t wait to see what Sahlman and his Newbury Park teammates do this outdoor season.

My point is the athletes have to run the courses but it takes the right culture and hats off to brosnen for creating the vision and having the tools for these kids to develop so well. No doubt in my mind that this was the kids buying into great coach. His wife is still there and will see how it goes after this next group graduates.
