Is it just me or does Newbury Park have low numbers? Of course we've seen their quality, but they don't have 50-80 kids going out for the team like some schools.

It’s because only the top kids get attention. Brosnan didn’t want any part of slow kids.

They have 2,430 students too. I know Wayzata, great oak and Herriman have more but Loudoun Valley only has less than 2000 students, and in 2017 10% of the school went out for the sport.
in 2018 and 2019 a lot of freshmen went out for xc but many of them quit after the first year or 2. Hannah Round (senior) was the most baffling exit. She was on the NXN team in 2019. Could have helped the team this year if she kept going. same with Martinez. That was a total mind-messer.
the guy in this article would have achieved his dream of making NP’s top 7 this year if he kept going. Gotta be sensitive about him ]:
after seeing guys like shetty and Schohn drop so much time from last year you could tell how badly they wanted to make it this year. Shetty pretty much made it though. He’s far ahead of all JV guys
Davis Armstrong was a kid on a quest, a sophomore hoping to earn a spot on the illustrious Newbury Park High boys cross country team. Then the pain happened.

Has there been an announcement that Mrs. Brosnan is leaving Newbury Park? Or are you just speculating?
Speculation, but I think coaches at public schools need to actually be a teacher there. She just works a job nearby and is filling in for this year. So I don't think she can continue after this year unless she also starts teaching there (or they just bend the rules which is why its speculation at this point)
I heard it’s just an interim position for this fall because there wasn’t enough time to find a new coach. Sean left for ucla not so long before the season started.
maybe Tanya will stay at this job full time if she wants

Frankly it doesn't matter who the new coach is. This is high school sports as long as a kid invests in their coaches they'll compete fairly well, at least they'll improve.

There are lots of coaches at public schools that don't work there. I have done it at two different public schools.
I think with Megan and / or Ryan Ping this team would be good because: 1- They move all the time 2- they coached a mn high school from 18th in the section (when the Pings were in Utah, and there were 2 seniors on this team) to second in class A state the year after, thanks to the addition of their children to the team 3- They have a FRESHMAN son Jamison who is running 16:20s in the 5K. With him, the 3 solid freshmen NP already has, and Cantù’s 4:39 8th grade brother, this is a deadly top 5 for 2025.

I heard in Tanya’s interview where she said that the freshmen want to do what the seniors have done
