just remember Dylan Jacobs was a star out of high school that won Footlocker. It shouldn’t be a surprise that he is dominating the NCAA on his 5th year of college. Dude is talented, with a great support staff, and consistent training. All of these factors add up and equate to running well. Just look at all of the athletes that have progressed under Carlson. They all have ran well especially in their Junior and Senior years, except a few outliers in his 10+ years at ND.
Great coach + Great Athlete + Consistency= Great results. It’s really simple
