I recently came across a comment on another thread claiming CBA guys get run into the ground in high school and none of them excel at the ncaa level. Is this true? are there any cba alumni that competed at a very high level in the ncaa? I would think there has to be at least a few considering they havent lost an xc dual meet in 45 years
Google is your friend.
They have alums on many of the top schools including NAU. CBA is the greatest high school program in the history of the world.

I guess you need to point out some elite guys who did not improve during college. Otherwise, we will assume that they just have a lot of depth.
Not many have gone on to do great things but most seem to keep getting onto good teams and good schools.
Blaise Ferro and Tim Gorman are two recent CBA albums that have contributed at a high level for NAU and Oregon respectively. A few other alumni have contributed to smaller programs. Most years CBA only has 1-3 runners that can be considered elite while the rest of their runners are above average and good enough to provide solid depth that is better than most teams in the country. They always have a lot of guys in the 9:20-9:40 3200 range which while good is far from elite based on the times people are running today. It’s hard to make the jump from high school to college and CBA’s success rate isn’t much different than other schools in terms of producing at the NCAA level.
Ya'll have no clue. You don't even deserve to have the ability to type CBA. We run the world. Heck, those Loud Valley bois dream every single night that they are us. Even their parents cheer for us.
A building just blew up and out of 200 people 1 survived. That’s not that bad. That’s pretty good

I forbid you to discuss CBA. You have no right and are highly inferior in every way. We rule the world. Step aside.

People like to make this argument against most successful high school programs. There's probably a sliver of truth to it, but for the most part the claims are usually off-base. People confuse what makes a great high school program with elite success at the NCAA level. They are, for the most part, very different.
Instead of being criticized for college success, I think CBA and similar programs across the nation should be praised, for getting high school kids to buy-in and commit to something in a way that most programs never will.

Based entirely upon conjecture, and knowing about the running backgrounds of the kids on my kids NXR bound team, my guess tells me that the burnout would come from the kids running well before high school. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I kinda doubt kids just walk on a freshmen and rock. So that burnout is probably more like 8 years of running going into college, not four.
Does a private school like CBA or Bolles have kids burn out more than public Loudoun or others? I know that the hunters preach health, health, health. Do the best high school coaches? I'm assuming so. Does health equate to a mono focused, one sport year round runner , not burning out? Who knows, but doubt it.

Wetmore haha guy looks like the cover shot for An American Christmas Carole. He's like 187.8 years old and that was like 75 years ago.
Watch and learn you little want to bees. We dominate.

He got 6th at nationals last fall. Pretty solid I’d say
Blaise was a top NAU guy, Shaw runs at a big time NCAA program which still sounds like a win to me
