What's Sprouts training like in Colorado? His HS seems like a solid program. Any interviews from Cole Sprout or his coach about their training ? I can't find any :(

Bell is a private school and a big draw from the Bay Area for all wealthy white people. When a fast 8th grader applies they are pretty much guaranteed entry. They also hold a summer camp (I.e. try out where fast runners are handed an application). Don’t get me wrong, good school, good coaching but not like it’s a local poor downtown school. They start with talent and unlimited resources.
For sure. The most privileged team in the USA. All boys in their school have to do a Fall sport. They usually have 150 boys racing regularly on their xc team! And all those boys are smart, competitive and wealthy. The best pickings for XC.

Does anyone know if strangio was hurt in the middle of this season? He ran 8:47 leading the whole way early in the season but then had a disappointing Arcadia for him going 9:00 and seemed to not race for a bit and not push hard in a lot of meets. Obviously he wouldn't have gone hard in them all regardless. His double yesterday was insane
Matt Strangio got really sick shortly after running the 8:47 earlier in the season. It did affect training. Keep in mind he also ran 4:09 on Friday to qualify for the 1600 final on Saturday where he ran the 4:08. Two fast races back to back may have taken a little out of him.
