Do aspiring young runners move to Newbury Park school district or are these home grown runners. 5 under 14:50 is amazing . 5 homegrown runners (3 of them underclassmen) going sub 14:50 is essentially impossible. Good coaching and a consistent 4 years of training can take most average talent runners to the low 16’s. To break 15 in HS you must have natural born talent as well. IMO most average high school teams in the US will have a runner with natural potential to go sub 14:50 every 10 years or so....
Doesn't hurt to have two sets of brothers on the team. Talented twins is pretty much cheating, but then add on they are the younger siblings of the Ind Natl Champ and it's just absurd how lucky their coach got. He's doing a great job, but so could a lot of coaches with talent like that.
