Leo doesn’t show up in their league meet entries. Maybe Leo’s injury or sickness was worse than previously thought. The team appears to have flown a bit too close to the sun for a little too long. The last couple of week’s results look shaky at best. February seems to have been their peak, but hoping they can find a way to take a bit of a break and rally for the CIF post season run.

Leo got really sick and they made a smart decision.
It's the long term approach they seem to look at. Good move to be safe then over do it.

I don’t think the top boys are running CIF. A few meet directors indicated on social media they had some of their top boys listed in their races the same weekend as prelims / CIF. It looks like they will choose to go after fast times instead.

I'm not convinced they demonstrated a long term approach while they were flying around the country on their "beat every record" tour back in January and February. Was it a good move to be safe rather than over do it back then?
The majority of their team looks fried the past couple meets and Leo's sickness could be tied to burning too hot. Evidence is pointing towards them having overdone it early in the year. Time will tell if they run their best at the CA state meet.

Haha, they took anything but the long term approach. That is why they are where they are. The coach trying to feed his ego, never benefits the athletes in the “long term”.

They hardly race and show up all the time when it counts. I think that's a great long term approach. Racing every weekend like most High School teams is not a smarter way to do things. A few boys going to NY a few times is not anymore travel then other top programs that go to Arcadia and indoor nationals.
"Where they are now" Their girls are running amazing as are the boys. I think they are good. breaking records and running the fastest times in the country is a good thing not a bad thing. It's the teams that race, race, race, race ,race and then race you should worry about.
If they decide to skip the California state meet then good for them for doing what is best for them and not what you want them to do. Only they know whats best.
This has nothing to do with a coaches ego. A coach With a ego would destroy his runners to win every meet and championships with not regard to his athletes health or well being. Newbury Park has a totally different approach then most High Schools and I would say that's why they are so successful. They are actually the most successful distance program ever in High School.

Are they really running amazing? The past few meets have been tough for them. Between Arcadia and the few kids that ran at the Ventura County Champs, they are not running nearly as well as they did in January through March.

Haha, you are delusional, it’s HS, racing is fun, you don’t have to kill it every race.
Instead the ego driven coach wasn’t chasing championships but chasing records and using his athletes to do it. Wake up. They are on the decline, the coaches who put their athletes first are on the rise as the championship season approaches.
stop with the greatest program of all time garbage, all time is longer than two years, this is just a bunch of talented kids ending up at the same school.
talk to me in five years, if NP is still doing it I will reconsider.

Girls breaking the 4x1600m record and running 8:30's at Arcadia and their 5-6 guy running 8:52 and their 7th man running 9:02 and other fast times at Arcadia.
They didn't run any of their top athletes at Ventura County and it's less then a week before the league Champs. I think you're looking for reason to say things are bad. It's not working. They seem to run well when it counts and we now can only wait and see what they decide to run the remainder of the season.

Only one of the girls ran close to their PR in that 4x1600, the rest ran slower. Even though they ran 8:30's at Arcadia, it wasn't as fast as they were running in February and it surely wasn't the 8:26 they were predicting.
The athletes that did run at Ventura County ran poorly compared with their PR's and what they ran earlier in the year.
You are really reaching for a silver lining. They are really good and may be able to rally to end the season, but I can't see how you think they are running at their best or well for them right now.
The only NP distance runners missing from the Marmonte League entries are Hector Martinez (injured?) and Leo Young (illness). Everyone else is entered in multiple events. Whether they all run, and in which events, remains to be seen. Good luck to everyone at Marmonte League.
Even if they are done for the season, WHO CARES. They don’t owe us anything and are just teenage boys trying to run track. It’s not professional or that serious. It’s just high school..

Yeah, who cares? HAHAHAHA!!! EVERYONE cares! The coach doesn't think they're just teenage boys trying to run track (see his interviews where he says they train like pros). The kids don't think they're just teenage boys trying to run track (see their YouTube channel). The fan boys don't think they're just teenage boys trying to run track (see the endless posts on social media and letsrun where they passionately talk about how awesome they are). The haters don't think they're just teenage boys trying to run track (see the same endless posts on social media and letsrun where they just as passionately criticize them). The public doesn't think they are just teenage boys trying to run track (see the hoards of fans who show up to meets and get in line for pictures and interviews).
They ran two races in NY, a month apart from each other. What are you going on about?
January 22 Sundown track meet in AZ
February 5 Dr Sander in NY
February 19 Sundown at APU
March 13 NBNI in NY
All intense efforts before the season even started. Racing from January through May is long season.
Seriously? 4 races in 2 months and you are crying? Literally every single distance runner in college runs from January-May and pretty much every HS runner in the Northeast does the same, but with a way more densely packed schedule.
This is why American running has sucked for so long. Kids run 60 MPW and race 4 times over the course of 2 months, and anonymous losers on a message board start having a breakdown. Jakob has been training and racing hard since he was 11, the East Africans have thousands of miles in their legs by the time they start formal running, but god forbid an American HS runner doesn't get babied until the time they are 25.

Whoah. Slow your roll. Who’s crying? I was just pointing out they have raced hard and for a long time in response to those saying they don’t race often and plan for the long term. You seem very defensive. Is this personal to you?
