Not just CA, FL West Regional is scheduled on 12/4, same date as Runninglane, right?
Fair point for impact on runners from states in the FL West Region. For CA its a mute point since NP is going to Runninglane. There are no other elite runners from CA that would be challenging for an individual title at either FL or Runninglane.

The conversation was specifically about the Youngs, but if anything that proves my point. A 3:46/8:07 guy with good speed should be 1:50-1:51. Clearly they are more 5k types than middle distance, which is totally fine, but it means they're unlikely to break 4:00 for the mile this year. I expect the Youngs to run 4:02-4:05, maybe Sahlman will have a shot at sub-4:00. Maybe as seniors they will do it but we haven't really seen how much of an improvement curve these guys have at NBP yet.
Well, what we can see is that:
Colin Sahlman was running 15:42 in XC last November. Now he’s running 14:29 (one second off Nico’s meet record)
Leo Young was running 15:31 last November. Earlier this XC season he broke one of his brother’s course record.
Lex Young was running 15:25. He is now pretty much on par with Colin and Leo.
Aaron Sahlman was running 16:06. He is now running 14:43. Only a few seconds behind the other three…
I would say that they are progressing pretty well.
I was going to give you an “F” for what you posted. Instead I’ll give you a research assignment to get your facts straight.
Two hints: 1. Click on previous years. 2. Click on the icon that starts with the letter D on lower left.

I don't know what those times are, but on the same course in 2019 they ran:
Colin 15:09
Leo 15:41
Lex 15:37
Daniel 15:37
Hector 16:15 (running for Oaks Christian)
Aaron didn't run Woodward Park in 2019
Average improvement of 50 seconds in 2 years on the same course. Last year, they didn't run Woodward Park, but ran Desert Twilight and Meet of Champions, so comparing times doesn't mean much as those courses are far different.

I know this is hard to believe but some of us aren’t just looking at the boys side

Wow! I didn’t give you the assignment and you aced it. Your good.
You literally commented this on a post about the Newbury Park boys team. So yeah, id say most people in this thread are looking at the boys side. Start another thread if it bothers you that much.

So what can you speculate that Leo would have run last year on that course?

Yes it is hard for me to believe that you think we should be discussing the impact to girls teams given that this thread is about the NP boys team...

15:41-14:33=1:08/2=:33
15:41-:33=15:08
Just realized how dumb I am. 15:07, which is somewhat interesting as Colin ran 15:09 as a 10th grader.
