This in the first year in who knows how long that no freshmen is in their top 7. A guy like Monahan would make it any other year considering he won region.
There might be a freshman making their top 7 next year11 -

One strategy if for Jesuit top 7 to tempo at state and still win,
and also go all-out at NXR
It's Louisiana!!! Jesuit will have faster times during a workout today then the second place team will on race day. Many many years ago Louisiana had the state meet so late in the season. Salmen's Bobby Beck had a 14:02 three mile early in the season. The state meet was the day before AAU nationals in St. Louis. He won state in Baton Rouge while Catholic High students spit on him the entire race. Our team finished second and flew that night to St Louis. Smoking 🚬 was still allowed on planes then. Also Basketball Teams didn't have their own planes as we had the Atlanta Hawks on the ride. We think the second hand smoke did us in more than the state meet the day before. Bobby finished second I believe at Nationals that year.
What race did Beck run 14:02?

Those courses were not accurate back then in those days. It was 300 meters or more off.The present group of runners in Louisiana are by far the most talented. I don't mean because of the shoes but they are faster. Louisiana has not had this kind of talent ever.

1977 at Fountainbleu State Park. Mandeville, Covington, Salmen, and maybe St. Paul. Cross Country courses on the North Shore were mostly road races back then. Fresh poured asphalt made it super fast. Super shoes back then we're Asics Spartan B,'s. Black and gold just like our team colors. Teammates called me the shadow back then and I was second that day with a 14:56. Coach Roper measured Mandeville's course before the race and we measured it after the race because we couldn't believe it's accuratecy. I didn't like the way that so many St. Tammany parish races were on the roads. We did race on the New Orleans lakefront and Baton Rouge Highland park. I got in a fight with Bob Woodsworth when I changed the course to trails when I became a coach. Even made front page with a picture of us in the Slidell paper. Nobody from Louisiana has ever run in highschool as fast as Bobby did. No one.
Wait! You mean he ran that at Bob course? Everyone knew that was a road race that was short. I know that course and everyone ran super fast there in the early 1980's. The Mandeville course was actually measured with an actual tape measure too. Everyone would PR by 50 seconds there. The 14:50's that were run back then are 15:30's now a days. These current group of kids are way faster and it ain't the shoe's it's the talent.

I am pretty sure he could be a D1 coach at some point. I am not talking being a moderator at some POS school, but a first class program like Arkansas if he so chooses. Unlike football,some program's have joker's as coaches. I guess those schools could care less, but l have a feeling we will see this guy coaching at top program like Arkansas or somewhere like that. Maybe he becomes a head coach for a pro running team?

Maybe he will do something similar to what Sean did…..have his team win a national title, then look for a d1 school to coach at?

Doesn’t he already coach the pro team in New Orleans? The Power Milers or whatever they’re called?

Beck was not faster then these kids. A lot of those courses were way short too.
