A couple of early morning thoughts on this matter:
1. The State of California High School Athletics, nor Newbury Park, will not forget Colin Sahlman if he does not run the State Meet. When you are the national record holder in Cross Country and a sub-4:00 Miler with the #5 performance of all-time and the #3 performance of all time over 3200m... your place in history is secure.
2. What Brosnan is doing is typical American privilege. What started out as nice boys working hard, has slowly turned into some sort of power, control, totalitarianism. He has lost his way with what a high school program truly is and is now playing the role of agent, promoter, and dictator. I understand he knows he has this lightning in a bottle and needs to capitalize for him and the boys, I just wish him well as he is in uncharted waters.
