The thing is, if you take out all the Youngs and Sahlmans, especially Nico, this program never takes off like it has. Sub-14 and sub-9 aren't normalized and those 4 kids running 9:05-9:23 undoubtedly don't run that fast.
This program was built on the back of Nico Young. I don't say that in some sort of derogatory way to take away from Brosnan either. Been in a similar position and really can't overemphasize how much having a blue chip talent can launch a program.
