A new Ping is rising in the fields of Arizona

I wonder which three high schools will be lucky enough to have him for 10-12th grade.

Maybe Newbury Park would be a good fit? 3 solid freshmen there already. Little cantu (4:39 1600 8th grader) will go there too? Wow what a rhyme!

Maybe the ping parents (Megan / Ryan ) will be the new coaches? They have been assistant coaches before. How good are they at coaching?

5K XC pr’s
Jamison Ping - 16:24 (this year)
Lauren Ping - 16:40 (last yr)
Grace Ping - 17:08 (2019). And this girls had similar middle school accomplishments as lauren if not better. Never broke 17 on an XC course

Ping was held out here. Team still won by 1

NP Freshmen: Catch us at the top again in 3 years!

Was he held back a year?

He was 9 in 2017 according to this thread … he would be 14 now. why would he be held back?

Also probably CBA, Jesuit LA, Niwot, or VaLOR Christian instead of VaLLEY Christian

Even more impressive is Zarian Rodriguez, a 9th grader who finished just behind Ping at Chandler XC Championships.

He joined the XC team on a whim this fall. Never ran before. Didn't know anything about the sport until joining the team this fall.

At crossroads sectionals today Rodriguez got 5th place, closing the gap on the 12th grade Kenyan Kibia brothers. Huge talent. If he sticks with it, he's going to be a monster a year from now.

If he really wants to stick with soccer, Arizona would be a perfect state since soccer is in the winter.

In Iowa, Utah, and Nebraska, soccer is in the spring, so he would have to give up spring track, but he can still do XC.
In track, you can double up as many guys as you want. He can also do USATF if he wants to

But I think he is proud of how his current team progressed ever since he joined

He runs sub 16 for a 5k on an XC course and can't break 10 in the 3200?

That would be one long Commute to go from Where he lives in Arizona To Newbury Park in California 5 Days a Week.

I was talking about him probably moving to the Newbury Park area in California
