Boys 4x1600m Relay Invitational - Arcadia Invitational 2024 [Full Race]

[@RobertJWaid]

American Fork is a talented team. It would have been nice to see Newbury Park's 2022 team do this event versus just the indoor 4x1mile.

[@tyronium2]

it's kinda crazy that they are just at my local meets lol

[@togo1445]

It's even crazier when you consider that American fork recruit athletes while Newbury park were just all in the same district

[@notSpencerJackson]

​​@@togo14456 of Newbury parks varsity were recruits lol

[@notSpencerJackson]

​​@@togo1445but to be fair American fork also has a lot of transfers but they didn't recruit

This was an enjoyable broadcast of easily one of the best prep meets each year (along with the CIF-SS, SS Masters and State, which are usually the only prep meets I watch). I'm 66 and watched the entire 12-hour Saturday broadcast is how good it was. Normally I have to break up a long meet with a short drive. I can't figure out how to watch the full replays on Runnerspace, though. Is that not an option? It seems I can only watch a separate video of each event. I like the flow of the meet, especially one this great. I'm a former high school and college sprinter so it's my obligation to say I can still beat some of these guys. I moved to NYC from CA in 2003. You cannot talk about a west coast meet (what the West Coast Relays used to be and Arcadia) without some neurotic provincial east coast person bringing up Penn Penn Penn. I explain that Penn is all about as many people and college-age Jamaicans participating as possible, which is wonderful but the CA invitationals are more about quality. Bigger and older and smellier is not better.

what a great commentator

[@davezak5870]

I'm also really impressed with the fact that the 2 fastest American Fork runners ran in a 3200m race earlier that night (according to the schedule) with Daniel Simmons winning in 8:34 and Ben Jaster 5th in 8:38. Probably could have had the record otherwise.

[@Lcxruns]

3200 invite was on Saturday they ran this on friday. The 3200 races on friday are open races and slower heats

[@Hunkonly6678]

Wish 2022 Newbury park team was still around

[@ultrneon4673]

Agreed. It just ain’t the same wo them 😔

[@Hunkonly6678]

@@ultrneon4673 honestly theses runners are fast this year but they aren’t hyped compared to the previous years

[@firelynx1108]

ngl having 4 runners that run a faster mile on the same team than anyone did in my entire district last year (PA district II) is crazy

[@williamsmith1451]

how bout marist

[@somerandomguy4943]

Did newbury park not get around 16 minutes for this?

[@Runningguy80]

They ran 16:29.31 at New Balance Indoor Nationals in 2022: Aaron Sahlman (4:11.37); Leo Young (4:06.85); Lex Young (4:07.34); Colin Sahlman (4:03:74).

[@benanastasoff8980]

Different event. That was the indoor 4xMile. This is the outdoor 4x1600

[@sahacking]

​@@Runningguy80 So Newbury Park ran approximately 36 meters farther in a much faster time. Best team ever!

[@Qazikame]

​@sahacking, they were and will be for a while, the best high school team ever assembled, and it was sheers luck. They weren't recruited it was just Young twins brothers and the Stahlman brothers being at really good shape all at the same time.

[@Qazikame]

Honestly one of the reasons why I think highschool running and running as a whole is more popular now is due to the popularity they gained from their runs they had during HS. At least distance/mid-distance anyways.

[@AndrewShamburg]

Damn redondo almost had it 💯
