Thanks.
Thanks.
Guys built a helluva program but for high schoolers that don’t train like D1 runners, do altitude camps and transfer into your program or get nurtured through years of youth and middle school track, 4:20 is fast. It’s be like if the coach of Sierra Canyon basketball told you being a 2-star recruit is not impressive.
Sham you’re just gonna have to deal with being the #3 girl on your cross country team.

Brosnan is such a danger to the human spirit.
Not the original interview but one that was done recently regarding the quote
it's pretty fast if you re trans still
Newbury Park and Sean Brosnan inspire me a lot, and I'm not even on their team!
"I look at a 4:35 guy and he can be a 4:10 guy. He's just not thinking right."
They are pretty rare at my school, but then again, his student population is 10x the size of mine. literally.

Their tempo pace would be the winning time of a ton of meets! And an interview of Sadie after breaking 16!
4.20 isn't fast.

It's not fast if your goal is to get a d1 scholarship. It isn't fast if your goal is to be a California State champion. It also isn't fast when you have a kid running 8:40.
However to say it in an unqualified manner and then act glib about it makes you look like a bit of a tool. 4:20 is an excellent time at the high school level and performance lists back that up

Who cares outside of your State? Nobody.
For any who missed it, results from their first full meet on 9/9.

Presumably, you would. Isn't that the point?

No, why would I care about some runner I have never heard of? THAT is the point.
Pretty astonishing, almost as if it is the program, not just lucking out on elite talents. They had four guys who finished together in 14:25, so they were obviously not all out. As for 4:20 isn't fast, well, if you define fast by top 98%, then 4:20 is fast for high school. If you are instead trying to remove mental limits from your team, you're raising the bar for standards and saying that maybe that's good for other programs, but for this program, your aim is much higher.

By top 98%, I meant, top 2%. 4:20 might even be only about 1%.
