Anyone have inside info into who the next Newbury Park coach will be and when they will start. No speculation, but insider info only. Will there be a new coach for track or will it be after the school year? Also, side topic, but will L&L and A Sahlman run CIF meets this year or skip and go the unattached route?
Her family will move to California. they always move
She has a really fast son Jamison Ping who is a freshman. He will very much add to the solid freshman NP trio (Dickran/Sloan/Bernardino). If 8th grader Adrian “4:39 in the 1600 as a 7th grader” Cantu goes there, the top 5 will be set for 2025 as they try to win another national championship.
Jamison is also a soccer player which is why California is a good state for him. Soccer is in the winter ca

Have the Pings ever spent consecutive school years in the same place?

Who knows & who cares? It’s freaking high school.
Some of you act as if some of these high school teams are professional teams.

That hasn't been decided yet.
But since they seem to care more about running fast times than winning a high school state title I think all three of them will skip the CIF state meet and run in professional invitationals in order to be pulled along to fast times.
All 3 want to run a sub 4 mile. Lex and Leo want the 5k record. Aaron will try for the 800 record. All those times can be better achieved running in pro meets instead of CIF meets.

Based on how many posts we see about high school XC, a lot of people care.
And if you don’t care, why are you on these boards?

The people who created this website (the Brojos) like to talk about NP a lot.
They wouldn’t have been talking about it if they thought it would be inappropriate to talk or care about a high school team
Who TF cares? The only reason the school is relevant is because two of the most talented families of all time happened to be there at the same time. Once they’re gone they’ll be just another team with good years and bad.
Call me crazy, but I think that’s a job to run the other way from.
Like panning for gold in a mined out river bed.
Are there fast kids in the program. Yes.
Will it ever be same? No.
Imagine if the LA Lakers had said that after the Kareem/Magic era. Nah lets pass on Kobe and Shaq and LBJ because it will never be the same. Lets just give up.

Just in the last four years: Aschbrenner, Appleford, McDonnell, Goldstein, Martinez, Cantu, Seymour, Doshi... pretty sure I'm forgetting somebody.

Not just families but late transfers like Herrera, Seymour, and Simone. Also Let’s see what they have for next year and future years Doshi - 11 - 9:02 (in 2022) / 4:23 Shetty - 11 - 9:27 Herrera - 10 - 9:38 / 4:26 Younger Sloan - 9 - 4:30 / 9:37 Dickran - 9 - 4:26 Porter - 11 - 4:29 full mile Watson - 10 - 4:32 1600 Guevara - 11 - 4:38 Schohn - 11 - 15:41 3-mile Bernardino - 9 - 4:41 / 10:00 Younger Cantu - 8 - 4:42 full mile Shearer - 9 - 17:17 3-mile Sax - 9 - 4:57 / 10:34 Zasloff - 8 - 4:59 1690 Lots of depth here, and talent in underclassmen

Probably when both Pings sisters were in elementary school?
There are about 600,000 high school track athletes per year. Call that 150,000 per class and 75,000 boys, as a conservative estimate. You are saying that it is pure chance that 5 out of the top 20 (25%) high school distance runners of all time wound up at Newbury Park. If there have been 60 years in the modern era (around Jim Ryun) of, on the very low side, 30,000 boys per year in the country running track, to have any one of the top 20 from those 60 years would be a 0.0011%. Treating each family as 1, since you seem to think that if there is one great runner in a family, every other sibling will be great, which is nowhere near true, we can square that and get a probability of 0.0000012345% of having two of the top 20. Statistical probability of having 5 of the top 20 of 1,800,000 would be infinitesimal. Face it, Brosnan is just that good a coach. He brought a pro-style program to NP, adapted it to high schoolers, and sold it to them. His results were better by far than any other U.S. high school distance coach ever.

Bro, it's not pure chance. The Youngs recruited the Sahlmans to go to Newbury Park. They then recruited a bunch of other kids from the surrounding area. Every one of those kids in the past 5 years were complete studs as youth runners. Anytime you have that concentration of really talented kids pushing each other every day with solid coaching, you can expect something special. There has NEVER been a high school with that many youth stars on one team. Find one. You can't. Find another team with a dozen kids that broke 5 in middle school on one roster, and many not just broke 5, but were in the 4:40's.
What makes his training pro-style? He worked them very hard and they had great support from the families, but nothing revolutionary outside of the recruiting.
