Nice try, but no cigar.

Not only does Newbury Park break records, but they win races like we have never seen before.

It must kill you that they are so good and keep getting better. Let me help you on some of your missing info.

Colin Sahlman 8:33 in Feb and 8:34 on April 9

( He ran a 3:58 mile this winter and 1:48 March 26th, won Arcadia with the a meet record in 8:34, Set a national 3200m record with a 8:33 in February)

Leo Young out for the remainder of the year

Team set Boys national 4xmile National record , CA State DMR record and girls 4x1600m National record.

Looks impressive everyone but you

Wow! This must be a VERY personal topic to you. what is your connection to the team? Please tell me you’re not just a fan or this kind of reaction is WAY over the top.
NP359 spent the first part of his post saying how good they are. There is no argument about their greatness. However, there is some pretty strong evidence they are not CURRENTLY running their best right now. Doesn’t diminish their accomplishments. They may come back at the end of the season, run even better and break all the world records.
Take a deep breath. Nobody is saying your kid is bad, just that they might possibly be in a bit of a slump or struggling a bit. It’s OK.

Rough weekend for the NP crew for those without the last name of Sahlman or Young. I think there is more than a little evidence the majority of their team peaked a bit too early.

I guess this goes to show how athletes make the coach. That is a large portion of the team crapping the bed at the time when it is supposed to count the most.

The Youngs and Sahlmans can make any coach look good (just give them REALLY hard workouts) and having lesser runners train with them will certainly make those runners faster, until they kill themselves trying to train at that level. The outcome is usually burnt toast by the end of the year. Cantu, Doshi, Martinez, Olsen and Sax looked great early in the year, but appear to now fall into the burnt toast group. Will Appleford and the other girls follow suit in the next couple of weekends?
