Fernandez ran that race with no one to push him. From the front the entire race! His record breaking time is that much more impressive. What would he have run with someone visibly chasing him?
To be fair German Fernandez was not in the most competitive race that day, he was division 4 if I remember correctly. That’s why no one was even close to him. I was there that day, it was amazing!
Fastest non-senior in his division. The fastest non-senior in any division is Evan Noonan, only a sophomore, who won division 3 with a time of 15:04.3.
If speaking about HS Teams? Hopi HS cannot - should- not be dissed. love Lex and Leo’s Vlogs… they inspire many kids like mine to run fast but keep it fun!
I was able to go see them run(main reason was because my teammate made it to state and I went to watch her), I will say the young brothers were looking strong as well as the other runners, it really is something else seeing them in person
brooooooo ik trey caldwell and roland ruckmann-barnes... ran with them they have a strong rivalry going and are fucking amazing runners i still remember when roland beat trey twice in the same course, glad to see trey got the w on this one
@@No_One1_Special kipchoge edges Bekele as the marathon is the thing that proves it. The event itself is crazy but all sports need context. Yes, bekele could do other events and perhaps has better times but kipchoge isn’t focused on those events. Better runner to use is Jakob. He wants to prove to be the best in each event but holding the records for those events. Much easier to say your the goat when you have the hardest event world record being kipchoge. Forget the record go with his best known time and he is the only sub 2hr runner ever. The guy is crazy good. Other runners will get there because of bekele and kipchoge etc. we all know that the next generation gets to compare the past to the present and create and use technology to better train and recover etc. the whole mental process has been elevated. So many runners watch and say….I want to do that too. Just takes a leader like Roger bannister and then the rest follow.
Correcting your graphic at 8:21. The 4 Newbury Park champions were 2018-Nico Young, 2019-Nico Young, 2020-no race 2021-Colin Sahlman and 2022-Lex Young. Every year except 2018, Newbury Park went 1-2, last year 1-2-3-4 and this year 1-2-3
Now I do have a lot of bias because I’m one of her teammates but I’d love to see a video on Hanne Thompson. Her and Sadie Anglheart have won two consecutive state titles and Hanne has beautiful form. It’s fun to watch them run so could be awesome to see something on her as she heads to nationals
There are insanely fast Native Americans (ever since Billy Mills, Jim Thorpe, Lewis Tewanima, et.al). Research Hopi High School for enlightenment at the HS level as well. Thing is? Most Natives have not a fraction of the financial infrastructure that creates a Newbury Park
Awesome video, as usually, TRP!!! I must ask, though, at 7:56, the Final Results page, Anthony Fast Horse? Is that his real last name?! Or is that just a "stage name"? 😛
It was quite warm in Southern California today. It would be interesting to see a comparison of race conditions on the day German set the course record.
Would be an interesting comparison between weather on the two dates. You do know that the State meet has been at Woodward Park in Fresno since at least German’s race? Fresno seems to have been a high of 66 degrees today.
Leo ran 14:38 today. He ran 14:25 last time he ran here. Kinda strange how he didn’t perform as I thought he would be? I thought he was gonna run around 14:23. Maybe he has an injury, or not feeling well?
Nico young could’ve broken the state record. He finished just off the mark and wasn’t even exhausted. What he said was that if had known he could’ve broken it but was taking it easy for nationals. Nico is the real inspiration for np and the brothers. Crazy talent even at the collegiate level. Covid real hurt Nico when it comes to opportunities to break records but he will just have to do it at the collegiate level. Still have to give credit to the coaches. No doubt the whole team was setup for great success if they want it
@@Nismo1983 Nico more talented then all the runners. Nico now has three team titles. Second fastest 5k ncaa and has led the way from hs to college. He certainly had the ability to break the record. He simply chose not to.
@@cicirunner Nico wasn’t making an excuse. He simply won and moved on to nationals and broke the record at nxn. Crazy part is he did it in poor weather and conditions. Reason I point out Nico is he had the talent and has continued to show it which proves a point. German ran by himself and was exhausted. Nice part is German set some nice standards for others to chase. Np whole program has elevated a whole team to the same standard. No excuse needed. Np has proven they are the best ever then to be be beaten by themselves again and again. Gotta love it when no scores 16 at state as a team. Many lost track of np lost season to Covid. Raced once out of state and crushed it. What we be an excuse turned into a reason to run fast. With Covid, it caused teams and runners to go for it as they didn’t know if they would ever race again for the year. Same happened in the pros. Less racing show cases fast times. Not sure what will happen with np with coach going to ucla but Stanford and nau looking really good. Byu somehow keeps reloading. Eyestone another crazy runner like German. Triple crown winner. Np makes no excuses. I’m more then happy to do it for all these runners.
Gotta love total running productions. Past history you do have np with four individual state champions….however, six state individual titles were earned. Can you name the individual champions and how many titles they won? Gotta go back many years to 1990/1991 as np had a back to back champion then too.. one could argue np deserve a title for the Covid year where they ran one race out of state and set a national team time record. Give them state and nationals. Covid really hurt those groups as there was some good talent that moved on to college. Either way: you have Jeff Wilson x2, Nico Young x2, Colin Salhman, Lex Young. Still have to give credit to the coaching. Created the right culture and the rest was made fun by some great talent. Gotta love the Young’s and Salhmans….attitude is 😜
4 State Meet Championships in a row is a California record, in Ohio Caldwell Boys did 8 in a row and Pennisula Woodridge did 5 in a Row for the boys. I know there are other states where more have been done. The wording makes it sound like it is a National record when it is a California record. It would be good to more explicit differentiate because I am sure they have some National records if they are even kept for High School Cross Country. I would like to know the site if they are?
Good to know all this stuff for comparison. Just remember that California is much different population wise. To do what np has done makes them them the goat. They have the times as individuals and as a team and over multiple consecutive years. Can’t say it is just two families as the brosnans really have developed both men and women teams. No doubt having a family members that are athletic helps training wise. Still have to do it and np has proven they are the goats. Still think it is awesome to see any state produce champions in this sport. The dedication to make it happens is incredible.
Can someone explain why Americans are so focused on records and times at XC races, in the rest of the world times are an after thought at XC events and your finishing position is the main focus?
Because how else do you compare two runners from different generations? He's simply comparing how they ran on the same course because they both ran away with victories

Very impressive, but I wonder how Newbury Park will do next year in the Boys division, with their top runners seniors. I hope they do well.

They have some decent freshemn and sophomores. But only time will tell
