If he wants a national title he better find out which national meet the Youngs will be running at and going to the other one.

Nope. He can potentially beat them if he is in the same race. Surely it is possible.

Never count out that sub 4 speed especially when most XC courses are like tracks now anyway.
That said the Young twins are not far behind in the mile and seem to be much better at XC so far.

NXN definitely won’t be anything close to the track course.
it’s gonna be hard to choose which national meet to compete in. Jesuit OR would rather stay where they are, and Jesuit LA chose RunningLane
Also, Leo ended his season early, and Lex didn’t compete in June races like Birnbaum did, so Birnbaum got more opportunities to race

Ur forgetting about Connor Burns. Broke the Chile Pepper course record by 9 seconds in 14:32.
u know who held that course record? Reed Brown. You know who won nationals that year? Reed brown.

Tyrone Gorze who won the Woodbridge invite, and also Rocky Hansen.
Can’t forget Hunter Jones either.
Was Connor Ackley’s 196 SR accurate?

There are only two guys with a chance to win NXN, and both of their last names are 'Young'. Footlocker is the place to go for anyone who wants to win a national title. Right now I'd say Birnbaum, Burns, Gorze, Hansen, Jones, Sahlman, Mathison and maybe Kipyego all have a shot at footlocker, unfortunately though many of them will not attend because their team will qualify for NXN (Sahlman, Gorze, Mathison)

Yes, considering where he lives is just shy of 4000ft of altitude. When he arrives at those national championships, it will feel like he is able to breathe quite easily. He also has ran 14:47 largely solo, with the exception of the four wheeler leading him.

Aaron Sahlman beat Lex once last year. But not Leo.

Where is he going to college?
Looks like he could take down the course record of 14:39 at NXR Heartland, I anticipate Noah Breker being right on his heels.

Rocky Hansen will take them both down. He already took down Lex in the mille at Runninglane with a 4:00 and yes that's not the young's best event but Rocky will shred them down the final 400 meter no matter the distance. Watch the video clips of Rocky. You can't tell me Lex and Leo would not be afraid of that

It's possible, but I would still heavily favor the two national level runners that work together perfectly and with a 3rd national level runner who basically acts as their rabbit for the first mile (Sahlman) than the individual national runners with equivalent fitness.
Only way he wins is if he goes out harder than them (~4:30 mile pace first mile) and stays ahead the entire time. If they are in the lead, they'll push and pull the pace with their teamwork

only 7th in this race, though. Considering the amount of people he's lost to his chances are looking slim.
