Jesuit New Orleans the number one team in USA? half the team runs low 14s at district

Anyone who thinks that Jesuit LA is better than NP this year has some serious issues.

Do they not realize that Newbury Park has 3 nationally athletes?

And that their 4th ran a 15:17 5K at state, and their 6th ran a 15:39?

They had 5 guys above the 180 speed rating at state, with their 6th at 178.

How many nationally ranked athletes does Jesuit have?

But if you guys are talking about next year, yes they will be the #1 team. Their 6th nonsenior ran a 9:41 in the 15 mph winds

And Newbury Park is losing 5 seniors

Newbury park has at least 3 nationally ranked* athletes

Clearly the fastest two runners Louisiana has ever seen. I don't know as the kids who are behind them are very impressive. The sky is the limit for these two. The state records are definitely going to change. A very talented team for sure.

Brother Martin is doing RunningLane too

I wish Jesuit chose NXR over RunningLane....They are really not facing any top 25 teams...And if they happen to loose

But the thing is, Vocke and Sampedro were only Jesuit’s 5-7 this year. Both have dealt with illnesses and injuries

They are clearly not the fastest 2 at least as of yet.

They are most certainly the fastest team and in the case of the first 2, the fastest runners the state of Louisiana has seen.

Until they do it on the track... they most certainly are not.

That will come next Spring with out a doubt. It's is actually scary that some of these kids are running this fast as 10 graders, it just hasn't been done like this before. The team is stacked too. They are putting Louisiana high school running on the map . Definitely something to be proud of.

They may have to go back to Garmin / Running Lane to defend their title.

But Newbury Park didn’t do that

I don't think you realize how fast 4:04 and 8:46 are. Those aren't just fast times, those are times that generally require a perfect storm of events to take place. I will never say these kids can't do it, but to pencil them in is not fair to them. The training required to chase those types of times also can put their health in jeopardy. Even Alan Webb got inured junior year trying to chase those types of times and that dude was a tank.

Nope! They ran about 9 flat last year and they're running much faster now. I definitely feel the # 1,2, or 3 runners from Jesuit will be under that time in the Spring. They're certainly are the best runners the state or Louisiana has seen. Also this team is without a doubt the best. I don't think anyone is going to say different about that. No way! They have grown so much as runners since the Spring and a year ago they ran 9 flat or there about. Yeah, they will definitely go under that time. Only 10 to 15 seconds for a kid in a year? Definitely! ...... This team is definitely making running exciting again in the state of Louisiana..... They put Louisiana on the national map for once.

The DesRoaches kid has the 2nd fast 3mile in Louisiana history only behind Eric Coston who ran for LSU in 2016 another Jesuit runner is 5th on the list. This is a list of every year since the 1970, so this kid is the 2nd fastest cross country runner in Louisiana history according to Mile Splits. The list includes Coston at 14:25 2016 St Pauls/ DesRoaches 14:29 2022/ Keith Devine John Curtis New Orleans 2015 14:30/ Bob Beck Salmen 1975 14:30/ Brady Mullen 14:36 Jesuit 2022. Pretty impressive. I can't wait to see how they do today.

Jesuit LA’s 10th guy (senior) Ron Blanchard got 3rd in the red race

At runninglane

Jesuit LA has a freshman Connor Fanberg who ran a 17:17 at RL today

OVERRATED!!! Good thing they didn't go to NXN... what an embarrassment that would have been.
