What’s so hard to understand? Pala ran 14:24 at Mt Sac this year on the “old course.” This is the 2nd fastest time ever, faster than Ryan Hall, faster than Jeff Nelson. This is probably one of the top few boys’ performances in the nation this year. You think A Sahlman would have run much faster? At the state meet Sahlman ran 14:46 to finish a distant 4th in the D1 race and Pala broke Cooper Teare’s D5 record and comfortably won in 14:51. Maybe Aaron Sahlman is better than Pala, but if so, not by much, and I don’t think he is.
