I’m not doing your reach for you, but listen to the videos on the 2019 season with him and Coach Doug Soles of Great Oak. He mentions that talent is the the number one factor and with out it you won’t become great or words to that effect.
This is nothing new. In any sport talent and training alone will only take you so far. Combining these two are what athletes great.
No I agree you need both. I stated in an earlier post that Nico was special to some degree freshman year, so he was talented, but I also stated how Sean took him to a special level. I was just agreeing with the dad who was annoyed that some posters have made NP only about two families and I think you could take few coaches with the talent they had and see the success Sean has brought. Yes it is talent AND culture. NP has never had this type of success even at States, with the League dominated by Royal and decades ago by Thousand Oaks. Now they have teams in discussions at National level and likely greatest boys team ever.

What an incredibly poor take....I'm disappointed. I was told the LetsRun message boards had some fools on them, but WOW. This is hot garbage even for what I imagined the lowest of lows could be.
A couple things to consider.
1. Footwear. York ran in the pre-super shoe/spike era. The Dukes of York would have all been 10-25s quicker at 3miles, if a.) they had footwear that literally propelled them forward and b.) in terms of track performances if they had the opportunity to travel to an Arcadia, etc. (Illinois travel restrictions didn't allow this at the time) you could have expected the Dukes to have run 10-12s quicker at 3200...easily giving them one athlete in the 8.30s and 3 others between 8.50-58.
2. It would take a lot more than NP equalling what '99 York accomplished over 20 years ago to be better than them. NPs going to need to put up 738 or better for 3200m relay indoors and sub 7.30's out!
3. Sage finished second at the GREATEST FOOTLOCKER XC Champs of all time. The number of future American Record Holders, NCAA champions, and Olympians is simply incredible. You show your lack of knowledge of this great sport when you start saying idiotic comments like "Sage could have been there 4th man....or top 5 of whatever sensational stupidity comes to your mind in the moment.
Please do your homework and try again.
Now that their 4th runner has run 8:01 for 3k in February, are you still sure it’s an “incredibly poor take.”?
Yes, still a poor take. Were talking about cross country not track.

Ha. Nostalgia dies hard.
Started this thread way back when. Needs to be amended to the greatest prep distance team in history. Not just xc.

I remember when everyone thought Bill Belichick was a mastermind. Then Tom Brady went to Tampa and won the super bowl.
Then he decided to take his talents to cross country and run for Michigan
