@@AsaFletcher Awesome. I think I'd like to check that out. I've been curious about what the team would or could become post-Young and Sahlman. How you guys would be on the state and national level, how you guys are viewed now just by having that name on your shirts. I've wondered if a national superstar (top 5-10) could possibly emerge within 2-3 years.

The only bad part about the Newbury Park saga is that the best part happened first. That team with both sets of brothers might be the wildest hs cross country team every created.

I only started paying attention late in the 2021 season and it felt and seemed like it couldn't get better. Were they probably better in 2020?

Anyone who ran highschool knows how crazy it is to have a team like this. You're just a bunch of randoms that happen to live next to each other most of the time. So its either the training plan was perfect of everyone is doping lol

@talling 9 ай бұрын

Even with maximal doping you’ll never see a high school team that good. It’s just a 1 in a trillion chance type genetics deal where you got 2 sets of genetic monster families on the same team

@@talling I absolutely do not think the Newbury guys were doping. But based on what you said I think you severely underestimate how much of a difference drugs can make. Highschoolers aren't tested in US xc and track. EPO, anabolics, or even SARMS could easily get a team of 4 ~15:30-16:00 high school guys to the Newbury Park level if they just went full YOLO mode and took super abusive doses.

@talling 9 ай бұрын

@@FranklynAlvarez you don’t know what you’re talking about bro 😂. First of all SARMS and Anabolics do not improve running at all at a distance level. They actually hurt you as your aerobic system is heavily damaged by such substances. Look at all the bodybuilders dying from heart attacks as an example. EPO does provide a boost but mostly at the marathon level, it could take a 2:08 guy and turn them into a 2:02 guy, it’s less advantageous as you go down in distance tho. Oh, and abusive doses of EPO will hurt your performance by over thickening your blood and killing you. 5k guys only see a 10 second difference at most according to studies which is huge at the pro level but wouldn’t affect a high school team much. There will never ever be a possibility of another newbury park even with doping. There’s just not enough talent out there. And for the record, I think at least 10% of top ranked high schoolers cheat to some degree in track, especially in sprints.

I raced at ASICS yesterday and stuck around to see the championship races. The newbury park runners are still exceptionally fast, but they're not dominant in the way they were last year. Its nice that other teams get to have their chance in the spotlight and no longer get overshadowed by this absolutely insane team.

As an Oregonian I was impressed to see OR popped up in the rankings that much. Maybe we can see some stuff out of them in the following years? As for the Newberry park squad, I think the underrated part of what made them so good is the set of siblings within them so they all get the same freak genetics and are all training similarly.

Sean Bronsan, who deserves all the credit for turning the Newbury Park program, around left for UCLA in August 2022 and let his runner, assistant coach wife take over the program.

@@Rudyrats very likely so. I’m not really arguing that point. But I did get to see the Don Sage led York team back in 1999, which won the state title by over 100 points and scored the lowest score for their class ever recorded. However, over the long-haul, York is very likely the best boys cross country team in American high school history.

How does it work in California? You don’t have to run conference meets and don’t have to qualify for your state meet? In Michigan - and I imagine most states - you have to be top 3 at regionals to go to state. And I don’t imagine an athletic director allowing a team to skip a conference meet.

I know that your probably understand the system and just got confused but in running scoring, less is more. That is why higher placing athletes only get like +1 or +4 points and athletes placing top 50 get around +40 smt points. Think of it like golf, you want less points to win for the team title, hence why they have like 80 points more than some teams having like 60 while other teams are in the hundreds. I feel like you know that but the way it is stated in the video is contrary to that so i just wanted to clarify incase anybody is confused when they see this or for you to look into it then you talk about scoring in future videos because hearing you say what you did at 7:37 sounds like you are basically calling him out for being slower than his teammates since he gave them more points, which once again i know wasn't your intention.

Newbury Park had lightning for a few years with two sets of five elite brothers. Now the star talent has graduated and NP coaches are leaving over the last two years. NP is imploding and had a poor result yesterday at Clovis (Boys 12th & Girls 18th). Tiffany Sax saw it coming and moved to Ventura HS her current Junior year. Sean Brosnan is a punk who made it about him. Among the few things I'm aware here is one: I saw his anger at State 2021 when NP girls finished 2nd as a team. Any good coach can have success with elite athletes. Brosnan was able to not mess up what he had. He waited to screw up at Ucla.
