How good can this team do in 2023? They return: Dev Doshi - 9:02 in the 3200 Nathan Porter - 9:52 in the 3200 (indoors) Jonah Sloan - 10:17 in the 3200 Noah Sloan (incoming frosh) - 10:11 in the 3200 Gabriel Bernardino (incoming frosh) - 10:37 in the 3200 Micah Dickran (incoming frosh who is MAYBE going to Newbury Park) - 10:37 in the 3200 Adrian Cantu (will be a freshman in 2023) - 10:34 in the 3200 as a 7th Grader Nathaniel Schohn - 10:47 in the 3200 Arnav Shetty - 10:52 in the 3200 Jack Watson - 4:39 in the 1600
All joking aside.....who else gets this kind of proven ability? It can't be that common. 10:11, 10:37 and 10:37 before the kid even sets foot on campus? This can't be that common.
With Brosnan coaching, that team is guaranteed to win NXN and break the national team time record. They all just need to believe and not set limits.

Newbury Park’s class of 2023 as 8th graders:
3200 times: Lex - 10:09 Leo - 10:37 Aaron S - 10:44
Aaron Cantu’s 3k times: 9:36 in 2018 and 9:48 in 2019. Converted to 10:18 and 10:31 3200 times.
Hector Martinez - 9:23 3k in 2018. 9:33 3k in 2019. Converted to a 10:04 and 10:15 in the 3200

Likely 2023 they will be middle of pack NXN but 2024 certainly top 3 and 2025 should win. Yay for recruiting.

In 2024…. I think they will finish 6th place. Like they did at NXN 2018. In 2025 they will win like in 2019.
I think the teams that will beat them in 2024 are:
Huntsville AL (10:10 average for the 3200)
Niwot CO
Valor Christian CO (unless people transfer out)
Lucas Lovejoy TX (10:09 3200 average for Class of 2025)
Belen Jesuit Prep maybe (4:36 average for the 1600 for C/o 2025). They also had 2 7th graders who went sub-4 in the 1600 and 2 more close to that.
Maybe CBA- had 3 freshmen go under 10 minutes but will need to find 2 more. The seem to choke at nationals most of the time and they always seem to be better at track than XC.

No chance they make ito NXN in 2023 unless this year’s incoming class is the next coming of the Youngs and Sahlmans, which is very unlikely.
Newbury Park does have the 3rd fastest group of 1600 guys in CA that will still be around in 2024. And that doesn’t include incoming 8th or 9th graders.
so you should never say never to “are they gonna make nxn in 2023?”
Many teams behind them have a really strong top 3 coming back but have a lot of time to find a 4 and a 5.
And what teams do you think will beat Newbury Park in 2023?
ventura for certain.
Great Oak can as well. They return a 9:50 average for 2024.
Trabuco Hills can as well. They return a 9:48 average.
mira Costa can as well. They return a 9:52 3200 average. 3 of those guys were in the top 7 for a team that got second in the d2 state race.
So yeah, this is already enough teams to keep Newbury Park from finishing top 4 in the state merge.
And several others if Jack Watson is scoring for them.
Highly doubtful that he will make NP’s top 7 in 2023.
I don’t see why he would transfer though. I read in another thread that he is one of the few guys on the team who lives in the Newbury park’s district.
