He's running the pro mile at Oregon relays, thus giving up his CIF eligibility. This isn't very surprising, but does he break 4 at this meet?

So this is the first time in a very long time that a Newbury Park team will have no Sahlman or Young on the team.
So the only 2 senior boys on the distance squad are Seymour and Cantu. But this will allow more underclassmen to run varsity.

Running a pro race makes him ineligible? Is that just a California thing? Plenty of high schoolers have run pro races and still competed in their normal high school season

I think it’s actually most or nearly all states with that rule.

It's a stupid rule. State high school athletic federations need to get over themselves.

Zero state titles, one national title is a heck of a record to be sure.

Yup, this might very well be something that’s never been done before
The zero XC wins before NXN is even more impressive

Won the one that mattered. 3rd in team MVP = outvoted by salty Youngs and friends. NP prestige would've taken a bigger hit if NP kid hadn't taken the NXN title, than if the Youngs hadn't been 1/2 at the warmup races and instead went 2/3 or worse behind Aaron.

If most of his own teammates consider him the 3rd best runner on the team and you don't, maybe something is wrong with your assessment.

No, that would be Leo Young.

Ask the CIF SS and Rainer Wolf who tries to strong arm everyone. He wrote a new rule that won't let them. Now they have to choose and most top kids will choose no CIF.

No, "most" top California kids will still choose CIF. The 3 Newbury Park boys are a very unusual situation.

If he breaks 4 before the Youngs do, does that confirm him as the superior runner once and for all?

Some top HS runners were 20 or older so they were not even allowed to compete during senior track season. Izaiah Stuery

And some top runners missed senior track season due to injury
