What’s been the obsession lately with Iowa track. Like 7 threads on the state is this from the Caitlin Clark effect? Chill out peeps. Smells of insecurity.
Still, 4:30 -> 4:06 is a gargantuan leap. Some kids can run 4:30 without even being able to do a full 800 at 4:06 pace. Especially considering the still-impressive but not earth-shattering 4:48 -> 4:30 drop the year prior, this is way more improvement. How did this happen?
A private coach that a bunch of the kids use. A girl ran 9:23 in the meet who uses the coach also. Strangely, the kids all fizzle out in college which makes these high school performances suspicious.

Not cool to imply high school kids are doping for no good reason. Where’s this statistically significant list of kids who have fizzled out in college?
Why would you be suspicious that they are doping? Not cool on your part. I am suspicious that they are overtraining doing more than their 21 year old college teammates are doing which provides no room to improve. Please list the top kids to use the program over the past 4 years so that we can examine their college improvement. Thanks.

Your cryptic choice of the word “suspicious” was terrible, then.

There are SO many factors that go into whether someone succeeds in college that I find it very hard to pin failures and successes on the HS coach. Let's just take athletics away from the picture and look at how many people start college and then drop or transfer. Now add in the pressures of being an athlete and it just compounds.
The job of the HS coach is to get them to run fast in HS, if they are lucky enough to be able to run in college then great. But from then on that part is on the athlete and their college coach, the baton has been passed, and they are up.

I don't know what he's been doing or his coach has been telling him, but this type of leap would happen more often if the right high school kids had the right mentorship.
Believe in yourself (almost to the point of arrogance, but not quite) and do all the small things right.
This kid did not run 4:06 thinking he was a 4:30 miler at the beginning of the season. He ran 4:06 because he knew he was good.

Really irrelevant where’s he’s from, real topic is a junior who ran 4:06 and has shown very nice progression.

This right here and the fact that there is 3 if not 4 really fast kids in Iowa right now. 9:0’s and 4:10 won’t cut it this year.

private doctors are usually helpful.
Maybe keep yms until you know something for sure, would you like sh-t talked about your kid, of course hard to reproduce in your moms basement
