Lex and Leo at least, are training for Word Junior XC in March. The team probably hasn't done any real serious training yet. I'm not worried at all.
Can we all just say it? Newbury Park was underwhelming at Clovis

Didn’t one of the NP boys fall just short of the line and then instead of getting up quickly to finish, rolled around like a drama queen, letting a good dozen boys pass him and take points?
had he gotten up quickly, they would have had a better score.

Who cares, they still won. And this isn’t NXN.

That was Doshi. He was running with the group who ran 15:25. Then he fell to the ground 15m from finish. He actually got up pretty fast. He only lost 3 places since he was already at the back of the 15:25 group. One of the three guys was Seymour.

Do I need to remind everyone the coach left? They won’t run faster this year, but they don’t have to run faster and they can still go 1-2-3 at state. And potentially even 1-2–3 at nationals. Next year they’ll be toast and nobody will know who Newbury Park is.
You can hardly say that about the girls team though. One senior leaving. And they are still really good this year.
They will be better than the boys team next year00 -
Np 4/5 speed ratings weren’t even 180.
Cantù’s sr was only 166. 6 points lower from Woodbridge00 -
The top squads are preparing to run their best race in early December at NXN or Running Lane. Why would Newbury Park be concerned with putting a statement beatdown on a bunch of lesser teams two months before their season peak?

Looks like Newbury Park’s 7th man beat San Clemente’s 6th man. And SC’s 6th man was on varsity last year. NP’s 7th man was not even close.
Granada’s 7th man scored for them last year so he had an off day

I don't know why, but they were definitely trying to make a statement. They said so in multiple interviews. Other than the Youngs, the statement wasn't what they were hoping.

I think every top team in the country: Jesuit, Caramel, CBA, Herrimen, etc. now realizes that this years version of NP is not last years version. One illness or injury to any of the top 3 that keeps them out of NXN, and they are still really good, but beatable. The aura of invincibility is no longer there. I think this makes it pretty clear that the whole NP phenomenon was just 2 really good families transfering to the same place at the same time. Everyone just really benefitted from the Young and Sahlman talent. That is just about over. 2023 NXN is wide open for boys, but 2022 is now a possible upset year to.
I wouldnt say it's an upset year just yet. Replace Great Oak's 2022 times with their 2019 roster and they still lose by 13 points. I don't see any of the current teams being better than 2019 Great Oak at Clovis, when they beat Newbury.
At cif state in 2019 Great Oak had all 7 guys with a speed rating 179 or above. There were some 180+ guys at great oak who didn’t race there. That is just something else

Never heard of a high school named Caramel.
Carmel is the correct spelling

Every top team in the country now realized not only that, but also that Carmel will no longer be eligible for NXN this year
