As opposed to the other posters who think the coach is responsible for creating the 8:40 runners and don't acknowledge that he's had a HUGE head start and advantage by having so much talent. It's hard to get over the number of fast kids coming to that school and the proportion of them coming from outside the school boundaries. If you don't acknowledge that is highly unusual, you're just ignoring the facts. A few have mentioned they have a couple incoming runners that fast, but to have 8 of them in a two year period is far, far beyond what happens anywhere else.
You're ignoring the fact the NP is the best HS in the country hands down. Only people with low self-esteem and lack of knowledge say they get all the talent. Honestly it's a looser thing to say. Jealous coaches have been saying this for year about all kinds of programs they only wish they could emulate.
Facts are facts and no one is doing what Newbury Park is doing and it starts with the coach getting the kids to believe.
Here's the kind of post we expect form the Newbury crowd. It's either a high schooler or a Trumper. Name calling, insulting and ignoring facts.
They are the best HS team in the country, hands down. They have the best incoming talent, hands down. When you start with the best talent, many times it leads to the best team. A coach can move the needle both positively and negatively and their coach has moved the needle in the right direction.
