Meet of champions (CA)

Bummer that neither of the Youngs will be there, although the rest of the NP varsity is scheduled. It does look the best southern section teams are sending their full squads, like Ventura, San Clemente, Great Oak, Dana Hills, Trabuco Hills, etc.

crazy stuff. some of these races are stacked. Aaron Sahlman vs Xai Ricks in the 800 will be a standout race. Speed vs strength.

what is the weather looking like? the 3200 has been historically weak compared to the mile but it looks like that could change this year, depending on what the weather will be saturday night.

Leo and Lex Young are not running for Newbury Park High School this track season. They will be competing in open races all spring

(1) Can you provide examples of such “open races”?

(2) They are not eligible to compete at Arcadia, correct?

(3) Can you provide further insight as to why they are not running for NPHS?

Thanks.

Thanks.

(4) Are they considering road races, e.g., ‘The BAD’ on April 2??

(I wonder whether they are eligible for an appearance stipend at such an event?)

Where have they been open about it? Did they mention it in a podcast, or their YouTube channel?

The Carlsbad 5000 is an ‘open road race’.

Since when are neither of them interested in a distance greater than a mile (e.g., the 5k). I never mentioned a 3200m, although it is not clear why they may not be interested in that distance.

Where have you been. Both Lex and Leo have been open about not running for Newbury Park High School this spring and will be competing in open races. They are not interested in a 3200m.

I have listened to most of their MileSplit interviews and post race interviews, though not everything they have said. They have been quite clear about not running CIF postseason because there are too many rounds. I have never heard Lex formally say anything about Arcadia, although I got the sense Leo only wanted to do pro races. In the interviews I heard, their schedule was very undecided. Have they said anything recently about specific races?

Actually, my original question was not with regard to whether they have been ‘open’ about it.

The question was more about their reasoning behind making that decision in the first place

Lex and Leo said that they are going for fast times this spring. That's their goal - times not championships.

So they will not run for their high school, train with their high school, or run relay races.

They are training with Sean Brosnan.

They haven't said which races they will be running yet.

However, there are the Mt SAC Relays in mid April, a pro meet the last weekend in April at UCLA, and a Sound Running meet at Mt SAC around May 6. I expect that they will be in at least one of those meets, if not two of them.
