Excuse my ignorance here:

But I'm from NY. I just looked at the times from this meet and I just don't get it.

Are the races not full 5k's? If a kid ran in the low 15's on Bowdin or any of the big NY courses, that would be a generational talent. Maybe the CA courses are more flat? I know that CA does produce better runners on the boys side than NY. But the discrepancy in times is insane.

Even if you look at NY's top finisher last year at NXN, came in 19th. He ran 16:03 at Bowdin.

Are the NY courses just harder? Or is it a length discrepancy?

Second place finish at the Cool Breeze Invitational race yesterday, even when missing their top guy Dev Doshi!!

Its not the end of an era, it’s the beginning of a new 💥

The parents complaining about the new coach. He might not ask the full year. Those guys will be lucky yo get top 6 in DII. Welcome to Arcadia all over again.

Let's talk about the girls. ummmmm not good.

I'm in agreement. In addition to Dev, there were at least three other top varsity runners who were not entered. Braden Herrera and Asa Fletcher who are doing their SOP, and Nate Porter, who is recovering from mild shin splints. Also, Arnav Shetty ran while ill. Expect big things from him when he is healthy.

…also missing was the Sloan brothers and Herrera (???)

Doshi (14:58)

Guevara (15:17)

Shetty (15:18/9:15 for 3200m)

N Sloan (9:32 for 3200m)

Herrera (9:32 for 3200m)

Dickran (15:27)

So in theory only 2 of their top 5 competed

Sloans are at Ventura now. Noah did well at their recent Gaucho Invitational. But in addition to Herrera, NP has Asa Fletcher in his SOP. (1:54 @ 800/4:29 @1600/ 9:56 @3200)

Where is Doshi? And what happened to him in track? Seems like a LONG time since he has run well.

Many of the parents are complaining and kids wanting to quit. The coach is unstable. He used to get into it with youth parents for yelling at their 8 year old kids as a youth coach. The future is not good for this crew.

That's laughably ridiculous! He doesn't yell at kids. He's Clark Kent. Just a vicious rumor.

Hi Coach you’re already causing problems within the parents , kids and the school. The more you reply on here, the more athletes, parents and everyone will prove you wrong. It’s a losing situation for you.

Are all NP coaches like this wrote:

Anonymously replying in the third person seems to be a common trait among NP coaches.

This won’t help them make NXN.

Teams in CA that are better than them are:

San Clemente

Ventura

Trabuco Hills

Dana Hills

Great Oak

I'm almost surprised that there is even a thread about such an average team.
