Anyone know how this program got so much better and deeper than in the past?
New coach? New training? More interests to join the team?
That's because they are using my ebike-cam as the "rabbit"! What I noticed is that alot of these elite runners get really annoyed that someone is in front of them so they try to catch up to my bikecam. But as they speed up, I speed up. Win:Win. But realistically, who knows?

It isn't that new. They have been churning out elite runners for a few years. There recent senior classes have included:
2021:
Joshua Schuld 8:56.34
Zeid Hussain 9:01.53
2022:
Christopher Keyler 9:34.75
2023
Zachary Blum 9:16.79
Maxim Sorokin 9:39.62
Their XC teams never quite had a strong 5 before, but if you have been watching their track times, generating top-end talent didn't come out of nowhere. Now they just have more depth.
This team returns 7 sub-10 guys (3 of those are freshmen) for next fall.
Also a 10:05 sophomore and a 10:12 freshman
