Lex and Leo weren't sick. Sick people don't try to break away from one of the best high school fields ever assembled.
They went way too fast on a windy day and died.
You don't know that. They are front runners and that's what front runners do. Leo was sick at 2022 Arcadia and that didn't stop him from taking the lead in a stack field. He eventually got swallowed by nearly everyone.
I'm not saying they were sick but I wouldn't count it out since they did not look okay. They were off and I doubt some wind will drain two guys who have broken 8:40 in the 3200 meters.
they werent sick. doshi was the only one that was sick. look at their photos before the race. the only one that was missing was doshi. they just died out, simple as that

at least in the case of lex, you don't die out 3000m in. Leo's race looks more like cheptegei's above, Lex's looked like Leo's at Arcadia last year. When he was sick.
have you ever raced in your life? lex not only physically died out but mentally as well. why do you think leo also got passed by 9 more people after aaron? the moment aaron sprinted past him that was what broke him mentally. this is something very common whether in track or xc.

Leo was dying before Aaron even passed him. Lex closed slower than a 19:50 guy. This was physical. But please tell me all about your mentally weak races because I sadly haven't had enough experience and don't know the sport :(

I should clarify by saying obviously Im aware you must be mentally prepared before/during a race, but until I see proof beyond some psych 101 armchair analysis of some theoretical drama we have no confirmed details on, Im inclined to say he just hit a wall and there were probably some extenuating physical circumstances

I don’t care for all the sleuthing and drama. Just watching races, it looks like the Youngs practiced pushing the pace to avoid getting out kicked like last year when they raced CS. They dropped AS in a few races this year. Maybe he was getting fitter and closer in practice and they probably thought he and other NXN champs might have great kicks as well. (It didn’t seem like the theee ran together in the state champs or other races.) They just overdid it I the wind and AS had a great day as did second place guy.
