Doug Soles coaches Herriman UT now

Basturd Brigade, you couldn't even hold Soles' Coke at Track Meet. Sit down and shut up loser. Unless you want to post your list of accomplishments. That is right, you have none. Just another loud mouth loser on the internet. Is mommas basement cold this time of year?

Soles moved to Utah because he thought it would be safer there for him and his family

Been teaching in CA for 23 years and the last 17 in San Diego. I feel the same way Soles does. It's a big decision to stay here and only because of my pension or I would be gone. Things are getting rougher here and the cops' marching orders are not what they used to be. In the last 5 weeks we've had 3 students murdered and another one shot. Good move for Soles and anyone who leaves CA now. He is not wrong.

The safety reasons for the move were covid related actually

California is not the best place for XC either. No spikes allowed, and NXN berths depend on the merge. His team got screwed over in 2014. They won the state meet but times were slower because of the weather differences in races

Sounds like California is a living hell. That's probably why 40 million people live in Utah.

3rd place at nxn ain’t bad huh

So he said there are some younger brothers are coming in as freshmen next year. Similar scenario to Newbury Park in 2019

Also, their #3 guy had a 5K PR in the 19:30s last season
Their 6 and 7 were running in the 18s last year

Not even a full year coaching at Herriman(a team that's never even come close to making it to nationals) and his new team beat Great Oak at NXN. Incredible.

They may have not won state this year, but they won it in 2012. First year at NXN and they peaked there

This is a microcosm of California's troubled position. It's become so dysfunctional that talented people are leaving for greener pastures in droves.

He also has a son as a team. Interesting that he used to play football and now does XC

And many good runners moved from CA before their junior year.

Like Kobe Serrano (the 2019 grad) from Saugus to American fork

And Jonah Denison (2021 grad) from a CA school to Skyridge

Ally Talley (2021 grad) from Great Oak to Loudoun Valley VA before sophomore year

Brayden Seymour and family did the opposite. From FL to Newbury Park before senior year

this aged well

Not that it will for sure happen, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Herriman beats Crater next year because:
1- Herriman will have more depth (Crater will only be 5-deep so if anyone has an off day at NXN, it will really hurt them. It would help Crater if they work on finding a 6th or even a 7th).
2- Herriman is losing Horne / Jenkins, but Steadman will be a good replacement for one of them based on track times. And he didn’t even race at NXN.
3- Soles is a very good coach and always has guys come out of nowhere.

Soles got great results at GO. No denying that. It turns out that when you train a bunch of HS kids like college runners, they run Fast. Problem was that very few did a thing After GO. Prove me wrong.

if you look at Beckstrom’s strava it seems like he’s been sick for quite a while
