2019 XC - Golden State Legends (Episode 1 - Introducing Great Oak and Newbury Park)

It is the fall of 2019 and the nation's top two high school cross country teams, Great Oak High and Newbury Park High, are on a collision path. Both teams call Southern California home. One of those teams has dominated for years and the other has only recently developed into a contender.
In Episode 1, you will meet the coaches and athletes behind these two elite running programs. The coaches will explain the philosophies behind each team and the athletes will give you a sense of how it all plays out.
hdRunners joins forces with an icon of California running media to explore the extraordinary 2019 cross country season in this 6-episode series.
Host: Rich Gonzalez, PrepCalTrack
Director: Adrian Brizz, hdRunners

[@meilanicastillo6432]

Indeed

“4:20 is not fast for a high school mile, it’s just not fast “

[@najibali2133]

Gave me hella motivation

[@SheaSlides]

And here I am thinking Im sick running 4:50

[@brycew6675]

[@jackramen2704]

Bryce W that’s what I like to hear bro come on you can do it, just don’t burn out

[@berkeleygolfer]

@@brycew6675 aim for 405 and you might run 410.

[@drewcash1785]

Interviewe with the power house Texas schools? The Woodlands high school, Kingwood High school have always been at the top of the list in good distance running.

[@J03-r3m]

What's the background music at 12:19?

[@angelcastro839]

[@graylaurentios]

This was cool

[@patrickgomes8865]

When is episode 2 coming out ??

[@hdRunners]

Sunday, September 13. 6pm. If you are a subscriber, you will receive a heads-up.

[@Migstape]

13:38 is not Big Bear...lol **edit: I’m on Episode 5. I understand now **

[@hdRunners]

Great Oak goes to Mammoth and Newbury goes to Big Bear. The video shows both places. This is presented in greater detail in Episode 2. Thanks!

[@drflips6818]

the one dislike was an australian because they’re upside down

[@jackszczepanski5988]

4:20 is not fast. What is fast 3:20???

[@alecibarra8862]

4:08 and lower is FAST for high school

[@nohands6865]

yeah anywhere around 4:10 and you're actually competitive. It's like saying 1:59 is fast for an 800... It's not when you're serious about running.

[@alecibarra8862]

@@nohands6865 yeah to be competitive (as in competing at the national level) you need have a 1:53 or faster.

[@nohands6865]

@@alecibarra8862 if you want to talk about the national level, 1:52 is minimum and 1:50 is when you get elite.

[@alecibarra8862]

@@nohands6865 I guess, the 10th fastest time in the nation last year was 1:52.57 so I would say that’s competitive

[@jacobparker6586]

whens the next episode?

[@hdRunners]

The next major episode release, about how the teams approach summer training and altitude camp in preparation for the season, will be released Sunday, Sept. 13. We also have a separate series, "In Depth", that is more interview-based and the first of these episodes is releasing this Sunday, September 6. It will focus on the sacrifices of athletes in elite programs. Thanks for asking.

[@closmasmas9080]

Bruh my high school only has 570 people

[@cartersteele]

He’s saying 4:20 is slow our school record is 4:31. Makes sense

[@jfareilla]

Carter Steele he’s more just saying when you think 4:20 is impossible it won’t happen. Not everyone can do it, but if you don’t work hard with the perspective that you might be able to run really fast, you won’t succeed

[@cartersteele]

Jack Bolger I know lol it’s a joke

[@diazatake6462]

Yo school record slow asf 😭😭

[@legoboss437]

Where yo school at 😭 middle of oklahoma?

[@JManc]

2:23

[@jackszczepanski5988]

I run 4:20 for a mile :(

[@felipemancera996]

Y luego dicen no fue un gran logro los mexicano inmigrantes ganadores de esta carrera, donde hasta una película hicieron hace poco

[@daveygeorge4861]

Him saying a 4:20 mile is not fast is kinda stupid like that’s very fast

[@blakefonda4506]

I think you're missing the point. If you think it's fast, then it is fast.

[@DiegoCrawford]

bet

[@peachycranberry]

Question. Why y'all never film LA City Section? smh. Student-Athletes in LA City Section have as much potential and Grit as SS and all the other schools in California too you know.

[@jacobdonohue4845]

yea but did the other schools in California go 1 2 in the Team Nationals meet? I don't think so.

[@peachycranberry]

@Jacob Donohue That’s besides the point. LA City Section is still very much worthy of being filmed.

[@DrReddit]

imo la city can't really be compared head on with southern section, i run la city section d1 but i just don't see people dropping times like southern section, i do agree though there are runners in la city section that have lots of potential

[@peachycranberry]

Krypto Exactly. Idk why there’s any comparing being done in the comments anyways. All I said earlier was that LA CITY Section should be filmed as well like other City sections. Simple.

[@DrReddit]

@@peachycranberry oh yes that i agree with, it's hard to find my race videos there even are any haha. there's no "go to" website or channel i have to find my race videos, i have to do deep digging
