NPHS’s Colin Sahlman runs 8:47 3200 with a 55second last lap

I can see him being a sub 8:40 guy next year, he's definitely got the mechanics and body type to do it.

insane time

idk what the coach does and i know he's a huge douche but he's pretty good at getting HS kids to run sub 9, damn

the coach is a total piece. these kids can run fast now, I guess we will see if they'll burn out in college like so many Great Oak/Manlius/CBA kids have

sure, and i think it's likely they will have less room for development than some other kids, but great oak / manlius / cba have never 2 years of results like the last 2 years for NPHS, and that's considering COVID

Colin Sahlman was a total stud before he got to Newbury Park. The Youngs were total studs before they got to Newbury Park. There has never been a high school with that much talent before they got to high school. Go down the roster and look at their middle school times . It’s insane! The coach has trained them hard and kept them interested, so good job.

Can he go sub 4 before he graduates HS?

Jace ran 5:20 in middle school and Nico 5:05 , not exactly studs. Also they had guy running under 4:30 that were 6min milers in 8th grade.

Has any other program coached three guys under 8:50 like Newbury?

Yes. That is how math works. The coach could have made him jog 10 minutes in every meet so that he could improve more in college.

Last lap in 55.xx

An 8:47 with a 55 last lap means he is ready for an 8:40 right now.

It doesn't matter what they ran in middle school; they are absolute studs. They both have talent that you might see once very 10 years or so. I ran 5:30 in middle school and no HS coach was going to train me to run 9:00.

Loudoun Valley had that kind of talent come it, but they were already high schoolers.

Their times would convert to 8:52.9, 8:49.3, 8:49.5 for 3200 meters, then if you ran it on modern tracks I think they’d all be under 8:50

Pretty legendary

Less room for development? Have you seen the leap Nico has made in Cross this season? He obviously wasn't burned out in HS. Like him or not, the NPHS coach is producing mind blowing results over his entire varsity squad.

8:47 with a 55 last lap ( actually it was 56.04 ) means he is ready to 8:47 check that out Axtec.
