It's a feat never accomplished by a highschool team, even last year's Newbury park squad (although they got damn close). I think everyone is expecting them to do it this year, but could another school beat them to it? Crater Oregon is looking like a possibility with Tostenson and Gorze both returning 4:08 guys, as well as Bishop Blanchet in Schneider and Recupero, if they can get healthy. Any other schools?
A related trivia question: Which HS produced two milers, each of which held the national HS record in the mile.
I don't know, what is it? Jim Ryun's highschool?
Yes. East Wichita HS. First Archie San Romani Jr--first under 4:10, then Ryun. Both coached by Bob Timmons.

This year's Newbury park squad probably has better odds of doing it based on what we know now than last years squad did.
Is Kansas the most underrated state in running?

Kansas has a very good young team Wichita Trinity. They did well at Griak and bring like everyone back.
Are they the best team in the state currently?
Can they make NXN next year?
Kansas also has 3 guys under 14:50. Haughton, Shively and King. king was running in the 18s as a sophomore. He ran in the 15s last year.
Wasn’t Blomker the top guy in KS last year? He can’t keep up with those top 3 now
Kansas also produced Glenn Cunningham, who held the world record for the mile and the 800m and Wes Santee who had the world record for the 1500m and indoor mile. Go figure.
A freshman/senior duo will do it next year. Fastest freshman miler in history coming in and one of the greatest finishing out on the same team next year.

From what school?
That's crazy - Trinity was not a great running school back when I was in HS in Wichita. Bishop Carroll had a solid team and churned out a high level guy or two here and there back in early 2010s but I can't even remember any local team going to NXN back then. great to see some prominence nowadays.
