Race directors-No hurdles should be on the track in any lane (except maybe lane 9) during the 1600m/Mile. I’m watching videos of races where they only give athletes racing the 1600m four lanes to finish. Close races always swing wide and athletes deserve the proper room to pass!
I hope everyone got to watch Micaela DeGenero’s NCAA Mile win. That was one of the boldest moves I have ever seen. That’s how you win a race.

Three high schoolers from the same team (
@NPHSXC
) just ran 7:57i, 8:01i, and 3:58i & the 3:58 won a pro race.
The same 3 went 1-2-3 at RunningLane & people cried the course was short despite multiple measurements.
Congrats to

Great things can happen to HS athletes when they are given great opportunity! Congrats to Natalie Cook and the state of Texas. It’s about the athletes and this was amazing to see.

This is 100% why my athlete do what they do. Especially the kids who have a future in the NCAA! The entire objective is to have them ready and have room for improvement 🏆
I’d make the argument that the system
@RealSeanBrosnan
put in place for Nico at NP led to a smoother transition in college. Some stars often have to adapt to new mileage, conditions — my gut feeling is that Nico just rolled with it.

@TheRealMerb
this is happening in all states. You don’t know how bad
@CIFSS
was to Newbury Park. That’s why Lex and Leo gave up their senior year
Instead on saying “Today we would have been traveling to the CA Cross Country state championships,” focus on the good! I know I’m a better coach from this and my athletes learned more this fall than if we had a season.

It takes a few minutes to move the hurdles from lane 9. I do it at Newbury Park all the time at our meets. It’s lazy meet directors and it can affect the outcome of the 1600m!!!! You must not be a miler.

caught up with

coach
@RealSeanBrosnan
to talk about the team's XC season and what they're planning to do this winter.
Full interview 📺
High school track needs an overhaul. It’s ridiculous that coaches are expected to work events at track meet. Name another sport where coaches work/officiate. Can’t coach a relay when I’m holding a tape measure at LJ.
I've interviewed
@RealSeanBrosnan
and some of his top athletes and like most of the truly elite HS athletes I have spoken to there is a belief in what they can do that is based on putting in the work and actually enjoying competing. A good look in to an elite mindset.
Only three girls had ever gone under 4:40 at the California State Meet! That number doubled yesterday with Sadie Engelhardt, Dalias Frias and Samantha McDonnell running the
#2
,
#3
, and
#4
times ever in CA SM History!
Great day in Seattle for the Newbury Park crew! Three freshman running:
4:30, 4:39 and 2:04 for the mile and 800m. Soph boys running: 4:29, 4:43 and a Junior running 4:20 for the full mile. The girls frosh and soph went 2:19 and 2:31 in the 800m.
