Californians are soft. Too many avocado burgers, shrimp tacos, and Blue Dream strains make for runners who lack the East Coast’s cutthroat approach to indoor racing.

Sahlman was the most visible underperformer for Newbury Park but the rest didn't do that well either. Lex Young ran a credible 14:00 but was gapped by Tyrone Gorze (and Simmons). Brayden Seymour ran a 9:00 two mile but probably expected to break nine. The other two from their XC lineup, Dev Doshi, and Aaron Cantu, were total flame outs. Doshi ran 9:33, Cantu, 9:53, both very far off of their PRs. Their freshman, Micah Dickran, ran 4:27 in the mile, so that's decent but overall not a sterling team performance.
Sometimes people just have bad days. Glad to see Hinsdale runner Dan Watke finally go under 1.50, though, for 3rd place. He anchored the 4x800 just an hour or so ago, as HCHS won in 7.43.
Sounds like he had a hamstring twinge, saw how it was the next day and tried in the mile
Must have been in the back of his mind. I didn't see the race, but if I am reading the splits right, he had the fastest last quarter of any runner in all the heats. Probably was a little cautious.
