Didn't see a thread or discussion about this but Lex is entered in the fast heat of the Bob Larsen Distance Carnival tonight at UCLA. He's also entered in the 800 tomorrow afternoon. His 1500 heat includes UCLA's top milers so it'll be interesting to see who the fastest miler Brosnan coaches is, a high schooler or his college guys.

He outkicked Herold a couple of weeks ago. I doubt very much that he will beat Staggs. Dawson also in that race. it will be interesting how close he will be. He was 9 seconds slower than Lex last year.

This feels like a NCAA recruiting exam story question.

I thought that was Leo and Lex has only raced the 5k at indoor nationals. I could be wrong though because I get them confused. Also confused why Brosnan has them racing different meets but I guess the situation wasn't murky enough for him.
Leo ran 3:40, Lex ran 14:00. Leo is in great shape after World XC, while Lex wasn't healthy in time to make World XC and is still on the road back to top shape. He must be in pretty good 1500 shape to be in this race.

I think they like to race different meets to get footage for their youtube channel.

You are right. I got them confused. The rest of my statement remains. “Leo outkicked… I doubt very much that Lex will beat Staggs…”

However, it seems that Leo is also on the starting list

You're right, now I got them mixed up. Thought Lex was racing both events but Lex is doing the 1500 tonight and Leo is doing the 800 tomorrow. Leo's also seeded with a 1:49.10 but I don't know if I've ever heard of him running an 800.
Unfortunately, the wind picked up out of nowhere today. It is 22MPH in Westwood right now according to weather.com, much higher than predicted yesterday. It should die down some by race time, but hard to tell since this was unexpected.
Leo is also in this race. He's coming off a 3:40.86 (57 close) from a few weeks ago, which was 2 weeks after World Cross. Lex is seeded at 3:41.5, coming off a 3rd place 14:00 5k at NBIN. I'm hoping for them both to go sub 3:42, and Leo may be ready to go under 3:39 if the pace is good for it.
Also, it's March 24th. 2 brothers running sub-4 in March is kinda insane.

They could decide to run the fast heat of the 1500 at the end of the meet

Weird, buddy of mine who's also racing tonight sent me the heat sheets and only Lex was listed. But sure enough checking them again Leo's there too. Should be a good showdown between Leo and the UCLA guys and interesting to see where Lex is by comparison.

i haven’t heard of him running an 800 either but a 3:40 guy running 1:49.1 isn’t too surprising. if that’s accurate though, that is INCREDIBLE range for a high schooler.

Slow times up to now (steeple and 5000m). How is weather out there?

I have been told from 2 people on the Newbury Park team that Leo would be faster than Aaron Sahlman in the 800 if Leo wanted to focus on the 800. Leo has really good foot speed.
