Out of this group, Aaron Sahlman is the only person who ran slower but he’s coming back from an injury. Other guys improved from last years clovis times but not by as much as expected

NP’s girls team was impressive? Of the 4 girls that ran Clovis last year, 3 ran slower and the other ran 5 seconds faster this year. They lucked out getting a solid freshman to step in this year.
This is very very common on the girls side. Buchanan, JSerra and Ventura have some solid freshmen in their top 7.
Did you guys know that Hector Martinez finished 12th in this meet last year? That’s way better than what Seymour and Doshi did this year.
How is it possible for such a guy to not do XC his senior year?
Last year’s 6th runner better than this years 4th runner. That’s kind of sad with all these transfers and returners
for a guy that broke 9 minutes in the 3200, 23rd place in this race is very unimpressive
Yeah, but he absolutely crushed that race (workout) on the L&L video! Better to perform where it counts, like on the YouTube channel with tens of thousands of views, rather than a silly meet.
Brandon, of course, had to sit out six weeks due to his transfer. But he was doing well. After running a 16:08 5k in San Diego in September (The Aloha Run), and running strong tempos at practice, he was slated to be the 7th man and was going to debut at Clovis. Unfortunately, he got a couple of horrible respiratory viruses that gave him bronchitis and was out of school for three weeks. After a couple of weeks of training, his first race was at Riverside. He was still chest coughing at the starting line. Even though he was able to get a kick in the last 50 meters and passed a couple of his teammates, he was spent.
He raced again at the league finals. Was much improved and led most of the race but died on the last uphill at Agoura HS. Ran again at CIF Finals at Mt. SAC but fell short from his sophomore PR.
Focusing on track, he had gained back his fitness. However, once again, right before his first meet after another six-week SOP, he got sick. Fortunately, this time he was only out for a week or two. But it did affect his fitness. He's run two races since but still has a ways to go to surpass his PR's. Let's see what he does at the VC Championships...

And he’s also got a whole summer to get ready for his senior season.
I wonder what happened to Schohn. He was the 8th NP runner (third nonsenior) in XC last year but he has yet to run a track race

He then developed peroneal tendonitis on his next training day. That kept him out for several weeks where he trained solely in the gym and stationary bike.

Nathaniel had been hampered by a nagging achilles tendonitis. He had been cross training. He would feel a little better then started to run and then aggravate it again and would have to go back to cross training. That's what happened to Guevara during XC. They feel the pressure of seeing their season disappear that they want to jump back into it before being completely healed. Only to make it worse.
After he finally overcame his tendonitis, he got sick. It started off as a regular flu type bug but then after about a week it crept into his chest, and he wound up with bronchitis. He started feeling better after their T.O. meet and thought that he would be back running in about a week. I just learned that he had recently started training again when he injured one of his quads over the last week or two. He's back on the elliptical.
He's obviously frustrated but he keeps working at it daily. Good attitude! Gotta give him that.

Hopefully their senior season goes well, and that they are able to prepare for it well during the summer.
Gonna be more difficult to make varsity for XC for both of them than people originally thought. So much young talent has emerged on the team this spring.

Sounds similar to what was happening to Manny Putz from WI during last track season. As he tried to run it kept getting worse. And this cross season, he ran a 15:13 5k as a junior
Also, a lot of top NP people didn’t do track last year. Nico Young didn’t run track freshman year.
Listen to this episode from Wisconsin HS running podcast on Spotify. I am joined by one of the best duos in the state, the Onalaska boys Manny Putz and Blake Burnstad. We talk all about their running lives, what they have had...
I wonder why transfer Brandon Guevara didn’t run any races this fall. I know he is ineligible for varsity until October 3rd. But there was a JV race for him to take part of in this meet. And in some other meets that NP went to.
From what I understand is that CIF rules state that you either do the SOP and then can run varsity or run JV but then no varsity for the rest of the season.

He made the state meet roster last fall and ran a 1:54 800 two days ago. What an epic comeback
