I don't think he's really an 800 type despite it being his preferred track event. Coming off an injury he showed great improvement in fitness today versus his first race. I expect his performances will continue to improve as he gets more fit.

NP return 5 of the top 7 of the best team of all time get a new recruit and they still might not repeat as national champions. I think it becomes more apparent with every race that Sahlman is a 800/miler and not a 5K guy. The new guy and Doshi are a minute back of the Youngs.
NP will score more point at nationals than last year, but they are still gonna win

My mistake Thanks for correcting.

Lol at those predicting 14:15 or faster today. Ever run Woodward? Not an easy course. German is still the hs xc GOAT.

Doshi took a spill in the last 100m and layed on the floor for a few seconds seconds, and then jogged in.

Anyone got girls team predictions?
Here are mine.
1. Buchanan
2. JSerra Catholic
3. Newbury Park
4. Los AltosI’ll put Los Altos a close second to Buchanan. L. Soobrian will be in the top five. Her Lil Sister is the difference maker. She is now their number two. Los Altos 3-5 are with in 10 second of each other in their two invitationals. If their 10:45 runner, Fadil, runs they then have the potentially have a 3-6 within 10 second of each other. Best case scenario is that Fadil is right with Lil Soobrian.
At Woodbridge Buchanan’s 4th was 20 seconds behind their 3 and their 5 was another 20 second behind their 4.
If Los Alto’ 3-6 run in the pack they have all season they just may over come the gap between Buchanan’s 3 and their number 5.
Buchanan does have the advantage of Woodward being their home course.
Win or lose it’s fun to see a CCS team doing so well.
Los Altos 3-6 moved up a combined 47 spots from the 2.1 mark to the finish line. This is why they won.
There are so many post on this thread acknowledging the importance of the 3-7 runners. It’s wether they ran well or had a bad race. True cross country fans understand races are won and lost based on how these runners race.

G. Fern ran his record solo!! ...in very warm weather. Still the GOAT!
The Brothers Young of NP had each other to rabbit - imagine if German had the same help?
However, I do think the BeWise will get the record in a month.

Exactly. You can't be the goat if you lost at Footlocker.

FYI for Sadie Engelhardt fans: MileSplit CA reported that Sadie has been fighting a bad cold, which is why she didn't run today.

I’m stunned that an experience coach like Buchanan would only line up 5 runners in a big cross country race. Especially when you he knows his 4:47 1600 girl is in consistent in cross country, 27:01 at Woodward at last years state finals. Buchanan must have some girls that can fill that 6 and 7 spots. Give runners a chance and they may surprise you.
looking at final times I still believe Los Altos beats a full strength Buchanan.

27:01 for a 4:47 runner isn't inconsistent, it's a complete breakdown which implies something was very wrong.

I know right? They are so frickin deep this year! Deep last year, only their 7th runner in college. Just put those JV girls in cause why not? Give them experience. Valuable for next year.
They only lined up 6 at Woodbridge? What the…
They better at least not make these mistakes at sections, state and NXN

The times is the boys XL and L heats were really slow compared to last year (and even the earlier heats of the S and M schools). So the heat was taking its toll?

Big Soobrian did not have a great race for her and Fanil, their 10:45 state qualifier from this pass spring has not run since the Lowell Invitational, and they still won. They still have more in their tank to improve.
Lil Soobrian maybe the most improved runner this fall. She has improved on some of the courses she ran in last year by 2 minutes.
im tooting my own horn. I’ve been saying this for months. Watch out for Los Altos. Though ranked 3rd in the California region they were left off the national rankings, they weren’t even on the teams to watch Shame on the national rankers.
That would be Fadil, not Fanil. Dad was a Stanford All-American. Mom was a good endurance athlete in her own right. Carry on...

The finished results website has detailed stats, like merges. In the boys' merge NP has 57 (San Clemente 205) team time 1:15:03, av runner 15:01, five- man gap 1:12. At this meet last year NP had 20, team time 1:13:37, av runner 14:44, five-man gap 0:47. This year's NP team is excellent, but last year's team's iconic status will only grow and year after year teams will try to compare themselves. It will take a similar perfect storm to ever have a team like that again.

One of Great Oak’s top JV runners replaces Ramses Cortes (what happened to him we don’t know) and runs like an 18:36.

Newbury is very lucky they got the transfer kid from Florida. They would be vulnerable without him (they would only have 5 guys and be scoring a 16:15 guy at a national meet. An off day or injury from one of the top 4 would be devastating).
