Wind was 12 mph
Wind was 12 mph
Either way I don’t think they would’ve hit Sub 4 even if it was lets say 3-6 mph. The wind wasn’t exactly against them but on the north end it was just a little. I think Colin would’ve gotten like 4:04 without the little wind there and Lex about 4:07
Daniel Appleford got 9:00.97 and Hector got 9:13.01. Which means I got Daniel wrong by overestimating while I got Hector wrong by underestimating.
9:00 for 1st and 2nd place in the 3200
I’m pretty sure that only Aaron is happy with his time
PB for Martinez and Doshi, but they were expecting better, I am sure
So to wrap things up…
Aaron Sahlman: 1:52-1:54
Real Result: 1:53.03
Colin Sahlman: 4:02.5-4:04.5
Real Result: 4:05.13
Dev Doshi: 4:20-4:25
Real Result: 4:24.59
Lex Young: 4:05-4:06
Real Result: 4:08.96
Daniel Appleford: 8:55-9:00
Real Result: 9:00.97
Hector Martinez: 9:15-9:20
Real Result: 9:13.01
2022 in/out US#2 for Aaron (800m)
2022 In/out US#1 for Colin (mile)
2022 In/out US#1 for Marek (3200m)
How do you feel about today? The performance today is neutral to me. I saw some people expecting Sub 4 and I was laughing in their face
They ran this race as a rust buster. No one wanted a sub 4. They already announced they will be racing in NYC twice this winter and Sundown was just to race on the track again
Why would they not one? That's like my boss offering me a bonus and me saying I don't want it.

Because it’s January and they are training for the up coming track season. I don’t doubt they will get a sub 4min mile with Colin and maybe another sometime this year. For a January low key meet it’s damn good. I’m sure Appleford will be under 8:50, Martinez will be under 9min and Lex , Leo, Colin , Aaron will be in the 8:30’s and Doshi in the low 9 min. Along with a bunch of other guys and girls running very fast.
Brosnan just announced he is putting on another meet in the LA area in February sometime. Remember track season ends in June for these kids and most
HS elite runners not January

These times are of course outstanding for a Jan track meet, but the expectations being placed on the NP boys are extreme. I’m sure they’ve not been doing a lot of speed work, the sort needed to run a really fast mile. On the other hand, I’d just say that 5 seconds is a very long time in the mile and I wonder how many more times Sahlman and Young will run the mile. They’ve always seemed focused on the 3200 and up in the fast meets later in the season. Only US 12 boys have broken 4 in HS in the mile. I don’t think any of the NP crowd is going to get it done, as much because of focus and opportunity as ability.

Uh huh. You have completed consumed every last drop of kool aid.
Last year, several NP runners ran their fastest time or near their fastest time at Sundown. Goldstein ran 9:00 and then never broke it, Aaron Cantu ran 9:20 at Sundown and then ran way slower in last race of the season. Colin Sahlman ran a little faster at Sundown last year than he did last night, and never really got any faster.
This team runs hard all year. They are as ready to race today as they will be in three weeks or three months. The boy’s XC team smashed it all year, but didn’t really run any better at the end of season than they did in the middle. The girl’s team completely faded as the season went on.
They are all fantastic runners, but don’t assume this was some rust buster that indicated they’ll be much faster late in the season.

You're lost my friend. Last year no one knew when their last race would be.
This was an amazing start to Newbury and expect to see big things. Haters keep hating as Newbury Park become the best HS distance runners in US history.
Imagine opening up in 4:05.13 in a full mile (4:03 1600m split) and complaining.
They are trained to optimize performance at 3k-5k, so I would be favorably pleased to see one or more break 4 in the mile, but very much expect a number of them to run low to mid 8:30s for 3200m and one or two to break 8:30. To be clear, I'm not saying that they'll break Verzbicas's record. His 8:29 is a 2 mile, not 3200m, record.

Okie dokie fan boy. Hopefully the autograph line will be short for you at the next meet.
