Nutritional deficiencies last fall. Fixed by eating more carbs.
Now, an 8:46-point opener . . . on what Dyestat has reported to be only 6 weeks of training following appendix surgery . . .
He wasn't really on my radar until he ran 8:49 or whatever as a sophomore, but it's insane how much of a talent Noonan is. Seems like basically everything that could have gone wrong this year went wrong, and he's still put together a fantastic XC/indoor season.
He is superhuman. I don't know details about his training history but it seems like he started running the summer before his freshman XC season. I don't think I have ever had as many problems in a single season as he did this year.
He really is on that superhuman level of hs performance. Closing fast 1600’s and 3200’s in 56 seconds is ridiculous. Hoping to see him at sub 4 and low 8:30’s this year.
That was an awesome race. Outstanding tactical race by Santiago's anchor, Combe. That was one of the strongest, most definitive kicks I have ever seen - Just a ridiculously good move among a field of massive talent like Addie Ritz and Caroline Elliot.
Looking at Carson’s Strava, I’d be surprised he’d make it back. If he does come back, he will not be at his peak… but one can only hope. Hope he has a steady transition back into running
He only started running a few weeks ago. If he makes it to the state meet over Cook, Bouie, Pretre, Stef, Fitchen-Young, and whoever else pops up in that time i'll buy all the regulars in this thread a beer at Clovis.
Not that it matters, because if he is out then he is out, but does anyone know what kind of injury (injuries) he had? He has been injured since the later part of last track season. Ten months of not running is a long, long time. I'm guessing he must have tried ramping up before but either had a reoccurrence or a new injury. I hope it didn't affect his college choices.
I think this may be the only chance that meet record is broken in the near future. Class of 25 is just too goated (not disregarding the other classes but this definitely one insane class Cali has seen in a min).
Or it could be someone completely unexpected. You never know at this point. Last year, Olaf Dietz (Berkeley) came completely out of nowhere at Dublin and ran an 8:51 at state.
How did Eyan Turk manage to run the same time in the track 5K at last weekend's indoor track nationals as he did on the Woodward Park XC course last cross-country season? 2 years ago, Lex Young (while injured) ran 30 seconds faster than Turk at NIN despite only running 5 seconds faster at Woodward Park during XC.
Could Eyan Turk and especially Landon Pretre potentially challenge Noonan’s pursuit of a 3200m state title repeat? During XC, Noonan had a rocky season while Turk and Pretre both PRed by 15-25 seconds and Landon (who I think is better at track) was only 5 seconds behind Noonan’s 3200m PR last year.
Meet of Champions is the same day as Dublin, sooooo we basically got a lot to talk about on this forum this weekend
In SJS? Not Sacramento Meet of Champions, so I don't even know what meet you are talking about. Looks like three different "Meet of Champions" are happening on Saturday. Do any of them have results that compare to Dublin?
