After today's impressive team performance at Mt. Sac, it's clear Paragas is doing something right. They ran 89:34 without Mahoney or McCarty and according to dyestatcal, ran as a pack in the race this morning. Team time record of 88:18 set in 2008 could be lowered by November and I wouldn't rule out Saugus in beating FM and Saratoga at NXN this year.

GO SAUGUS!

So they had a slower team time than two years ago, have multiple runners with injuries and the coach is doing something right? Maybe he should stick to what he was doing before. By the way La Costa Canyon beat their team time today. Congaratulations to La Costa Canyon, the new sherriffs in town.

I wouls also like to add that FM is a very big school. It makes sense that if you have a knowledgeable coach (FM does) you will get quality athletes out.

There are smaller schools in NY State- East Aurora, Maine-Endwell, Newark Valley, etc- that are consistently good year after year.

If they had 4-5 times the enrollment they may also be National Champs.

To be as good as FM, year after year, you need a quality program with a quality coach.

Keep up the good work Mr. Aris. You make ALL of New York proud.

Runn you don't know what you're talking about. FM's enrollment is around 1600, they barely make the cut of for AA and pale in comparison to "big" teams like Shen and some of the giant schools in California. Even if they were a big school like you claim their team size is pretty small. When I ran there we barely had enough guys to fill a jv team. The girls had more numbers but not much more.

"May you become good eough t be based on LetsRun."

Thats an awesome quote hopefully you dont mind me stealing it. I'll preface it with "as todays huck finn says" if it means I can use it.

Plus I'll even use it correctly and proofread before I post.

I saw Mahoney and McCarty doing a workout at Mt. Sac.

New Sherriffs in town? La Costa Canyon will not even win state this year.

So who did you say was injured? ;)

Plus, he had his pack of seven run together through the first mile or so. If he had let Bulder go from the gun, I'm sure she would have run not only faster, but challenged for the win. Same with Hampton, Jauregui, and Frankian. They would have been way under 18 minutes. I checked the results and Valencia's Sarah Adams ran 18:02. In the team's league meet last week, Frankian, Jauregui, and Danielle Hernando were 7-18 seconds ahead of her. So think again and get your fact straight, La Costa Canyon aren't the new sheriffs in town. Saugus, Redondo, Great Oak, and possibly Mira Costa will all run faster than La Costa Canyon by November.

jesus Christ. here's to hoping a team that I'm not cheering for to do bad. That's alot of class there. I'm sure most Saugus team's fans are not like you. maybe Saugus would rather you just keep your yap shut and not represent them.

Every year it's this california team ran this and that. I am sure Mahoney will be great when she gets back but im not to sure about them beating Fm or Toga, however you are right it is possible. I am looking forward to December when they face off, i just hope if FM or Toga wins there will be no excuses like there is every year when a california team loses. Saugus is a great team and a great program with a great coach. I wish them the best

Bill Aris is not saggy. He's taut and firm, sharp as a whip, and shaves weekly. His son is "chunky," but he's ok, too.

What was with the new LCC uniforms, by the way? I saw them in September with their blue unis and at Mt SAC they ran in those awful green throw-back uniforms. The sizes were off, the fypeface was outdated...

It's all about merchandising my good man. Sales of the replica blue unis are doing OK, but if they run in the throwbacks every once in a while there is a spike in throwback sales at Dick's Sporting Goods.

i liked saugus's white uniforms at mt sac

coach, however you do it, you have gotten among the best, if not the best, results in the whole country year after year, so you are to be commended. There are thousands of programs. To be the best is no small achievement.

Just a thought, but I never knew a Cerutty disciple that stayed with it for more than 4 years.

bump

Seriously, Bill Aris has done a coach talk with Letsrun, go listen to it. I've seen this going on for years on this site. I'm surprised he has the courtesy to answer questions like this, and I am very grateful that he has already shared so much.[/quote] Agreed! Well said.

what you have to think about, even if these kids are only successful in high school, who cares! they get a great experiences and get the opportunity to run in college!
