One more decent year for the NBP team and I suspect the wheels will fall off and they'll go back to pre-Sean Brosnan years type of performance. End of an era.
I knew this was gonna happen in 2020 actually. That NP would be down in 2023. but not to the extent where they won’t make state. They just won’t go to NXN in 2023. At the first race in 2020, Doshi ran a 16:34 5K but their second freshman (Sloan) was barely under 19 minutes. I saw this as a red flag for 2023. I also remember knowing that Sloan had a class of 2026 brother Noah. but with only those 3 guys it made it look like the team was gonna be sparse in 2023
I would have loved to see Sean stay for the 2023 season. Would have been fun to see what he could have done with a team without 5 varsity runners from the year before.
The only boys teams that he has ever coached are those that have only 2 seniors on varsity.
2023 was going to be a banner year for the girls team too. they only lose Hawkins
Adrian Cantù goes 4:35 for the 1600!I hear he’s looking at several different HS for next year. Great Oak, Ventura NP all are being looked athttps://johncarytiming.com/SCW_CALA_United/
Wait…hold on a sec! School hasn’t started yet! I think you can still change school choices can’t you? Well, I doubt he would be upset if there are 2 other sub-10:40 guys coming in
Better guys joining West Ranch (Halvorsen and Duenas). Also, will Adrian Cantu also join West Ranch next year?
Not sure if West Ranch is a possibility for Dickran.
Would Ventura be a possibility for him?
They have Blake Harris, and also Noah Sloan transferred there. Both are in the same grade as Dickran
My money is on Niwot too. Kelly Christiansan is every bit as good as Brosnan, his school is just a third of the population size. That problem is fixed with this sophomore class. He's coached his girls to a national title, and two boys to a 4 flat mile in the past 3 years. The only team with a sophomore class on the niwot level as freshmen last year was Valor Christian, but that program's falling apart.
Actually, Niwot will be similar to Herriman next year
