FootLocker West Regional was held at Woodward from 1980 into the 1990s before moving to Mt. Sac.
However, the current 5k course dates to 1975.

Lets just say my prediction is that after the meet..all the previous 4 5k- leaders will all be moved to 5-10. I’d say they are most likely in 14:20-40 shape. Guess we’ll see tmmw tho.

In an interview, Bronson suggested that the team is just training through this meet and it's if no particular consequence.
i have coached just long enough to have seen some of my best runners have their best races on weeks we trained through.
Any one of the four Newberry Park boys can win this race

German Fernandez. Let's see if Leo can top the GOAT HS runner.
One thing the NBP runners will have going for them is that they can push each other. German, I believe, won by 50 seconds.
That was insane. Imagine being a 15:15 5k guy and being number 5 on your high school team.

that’s a weird way of spelling LV
Sahlman with a 14:29, only a second off!
Leo and Lex Young ran 14:33 and 14:34.
These kids are insane. 3 guys within 10 seconds of German Fernandez's time all from the same school.
Makes you think, there's been 1 year with 2 sub 4 HS milers. Could this year 3 kids from the same school run sub 4? If they're a bit more speed-oriented than Fernandez was, I can definitely see it being possible.
This year's team will go down in history for sure as being the best HS team.
Rojo give this guy a medal. Nailed it.

I saw a video of Fernandez's race and he absolutely did not leave anything on the table. His historic doubles at the section and state meets and his 8:34 were all run by his lonesome. He couldn't possibly have run faster if he had had teammates to run with.

LV turn 18 in January of his junior year of HS. GF turned 17 in November of his senior year.
GF ran everything by himself. Nike hired a professional to pace LV. This fact in HS age difference is always over looked when making comparisons.
Verzbicas was born in Kaunas, Lithuania and moved to the US with his mother and stepfather at age nine. The family lived in Orland Park, Illinois where Verzbicas attended Carl Sandburg High School, graduating in May 2011.[3] Verzbicas graduated at age 18 after attending high school for just 3 years.[4] His mother is a former Lithuanian record-holder at 3,000 m.[5

he was born january of 1993. he was a senior in 2010-2011. please tell me how he turned 18 his junior year
Didnt LV skip a grade because people were talking about his age? Feel like he went Sophomore—>Senior but I could be remembering incorrectly.
Cheserek is the GOAT HS runner.
Ritz is the GOAT HS American.
Verzbicas re-classified to finish at age 18. He ran 8:29 NHSR with pacers at Pre 2M.
Fernandez ran 8:34.40 with no pacers at 17 1/2, while at 18 and a few months at OK State, he ran 3:55i and 7:47i, while clearly sick. He went on to run 3:34 just after college but a real shame that neither of these guys realized his ceiling because of accident/injuries/anemia.
Stunning results, 1-2-3-4-12-15, six in the top fifteen overall, team score of 19 pts in first over Great Oak's 190. 10% of Great Oak's score. A 14:44 average. The team average was just 20 seconds over the individual course record of German Fernandez with three juniors running 2-3-4.

I’m probably not the only one who thinks this, but we have all track season to think about times. Can XC be about winning and competition.
Can't it be about both? Just about every high school XC stud in CA history has run Woodward so it's interesting to see how the current top runners stack up against those from 10 or 30 years ago.
The thing with XC is you get 1 shot at most courses and weather matters a ton. We might have run the same state course for 40 years but if you were the year is was 25 and windy, you weren't setting records. Or 2 years earlier when it rains 3 days before and it was soft. It makes records a bit weaker than track.

Or records more impressive if they were run in bad conditions.
