When the story is all told, Aaron Sahlman will be the one that is remembered from the 2019-2023 NP era. He is the Jakob of the group. Best raw speed of them all, which makes his ceiling the highest.
Nico, Colin, Lex, and Leo will one day be referred to as “Teammates of the legendary Aaron Sahlman at Newbury Park.”
Theyre all hobbyjoggers in the G league of distance running. None of them will be remembered unless their careers end tragically like with a car crash or something. If by "Yakob of the group 🤓" you mean that hes overrated then sure.

Are you saying Jakob is overrated? Pretty bad take, Ozma Koopa.
I have noticed that Aaron seems to do a notable share of the sometimes under-appreciated things like being the lead runner for the pack.
I've seen you say G league a lot, can you list out the requirements for A-E leagues?

Don’t even bother with the guy.
Oozmakappa= banana bread= sham69
It’s just his latest iteration. For whatever reason, he’s chosen a really angry and bitter persona this go round.
Thankfully, the website has promised an ability soon to filter out certain posters as well as subject matters.
Be named Jacob Kiplimo is the only way to be in the A-E leagues according to him.

What if 2-3 of the Newbury Park Runners go on to have Better Personal Best's than Jacob Kiplimo at 3000, 5000, 10000 and Half Marathon, Which is a very realistic possibility. Every Decade The USA has top Athletes like Johnny Gray, Bernard Lagat, Bob Kennedy, Galen Rupp, Evan Jager, etc What if these kids are just the best the USA has ever had Distance Running Wise, We have had MANY Great Sprinters, Carl Lewis, Edwin Moses etc. What if these kids wind up being as good or better in there events than Carl Lewis and Edwin Moses were in there, A Difficult but realistic goal for them, The Young and Sahlman kids may be a Superior Version of the Ingebrigtsen's, I hope this Happens and there is a reasonable chance it does. We will know in 10 Years.

Bump cuz Aaron is closing the gap and will overtake the rest over the next 12 months.

Gold in the 1500 with a 3:28 olympic record is soft these days. (sarcasm)

That’s not really what “G League” means.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_G_LeagueIt’s still hugely annoying and stupid from Oozma.

Why does anyone respond to Osama? At all?
3:58.81 for Sahlman
https://results.armorytrack.com/meets/11201/events/408690/results
Not out of the realm of possibility for both Sahlmans to break 4 *this year.* Aaron already had the speed and after that 8:01 3k, clearly has the strength.
Newbury Park could have 3 under 4 this year if all the stars align.
Completely nuts.
Having the best raw speed would make him the Filip of the group.

Why 3? Why not 4? Is Leo’s tendinitis that bad? He didn’t lose to Lex this XC season as far as I know. Lex did run 8:43 as a soph though. 3000/2 mile might be his jam.

OMG. No.
Are you kidding? You think it's a "very realistic possibility" that 2-3 of this guys run faster than Jacob Kiplimo?
That might be the worse take in the history of LetsRun.com.
When Kiplimo was 15 he ran 7:52/13:13/27:26.
At 16 he ran 7:43/13:13.
At 17, he ran an 8:25 2 mile.
At 19, he ran 7:26/12:48/58:49
At 20, he ran 26:33/57:37.
Colin Sahlman is already 18 (October 28, 2003). The Young's are almost 17 (date of birth February 28). Aaron Sahlman is the youngest - born on July 5, 2005
A better statement would be there is a "very tiny" possibility it every happens.

I think the worst take I've ever seen on Letsrun was you saying that Athing Mu showed her true greatness by dropping out of the Millrose mile.
