Anyone who thinks private schools don't recruit is lost and naive. Period. Welcome to the world of inequality in high school athletics. Valor is a joke in religious disguise... It's called entitlement. Valor Track Academy = recruiting.

On the boys side the transferring is continuing too. Ty Garrett transferred before the 2020 season and Drew Costelnow transferred before the 2021 season. I wonder if anyone else will transfer there on the boys side before the 2022 season lol. They return 4 of their top 5 but need a 5th.

I won’t be surprised when the ideal 5th man magically materializes for Valor.

Last year they got out worked by Mountain Vista - I’m sure they’re feeling the pressure to win states this year. Picking up a 5th man will make them really hard to beat.

Yup, either they will get another transfer, and if not, they got 2 freshman that may close the gap.

Well, it looks like Ty Garrett is transferring out of the school. So they’ll have a good 1-3 but their 4/5 will be too far back

CO is not the only Southwest state that gets transfers to good teams.

Mountain View UT got Parker Barnes who was ineligible to run varsity until postseason.

Skyridge UT got Jonah Denison last season from California.

American Fork recently got Daniel Simmons.

I recently saw an ad somewhere that Valor Christian was looking for a head XC coach. Is there any truth to this and if so, could it affect their success?

Well it doesn’t surprise me that they’re looking for a new coach because I heard their old coach was bad.

The success with the new coach depends on how good the new coach is.

Was this guy recruited or did he choose to run for a better program with runners at his level?

re: Alroyy

It seems like many guys transfer from not-so-good California programs to really good Utah programs. At least they finally get to wear spikes, which California doesn’t allow unless those teams travel outside of California.

The thing is, in 2020 Barnes was the #2 runner on the team that had 6 seniors on varsity, so he would not have any training partners similar to his level if he was still on that team.

For the record, the "creepy" coach I referenced is not at Niwot. He is still coaching though and I fear the day I see his mug shot in the paper.....

I just caught up on this thread as the season approaches and I'm not sure if you are still reading this thread but SAY SOMETHING ffs! How many people reading this thread know EXACTLY who you are talking about. I've heard too many creepy allegations about this same coach from too many people but nothing happens. Don't wait to see his mug shot in the paper. Do something and save any more girls from dealing with him.

I bet if this conversation takes off, there will be one fewer Niwot critic on this thread.

Last year was his first season on the team. 15:17 5K for a first year is insanely insane.
