One Of The Greatest Records In High School History | Newbury Park's ICONIC 4x1 Mile Relay

[@mateobeltran3950]

[@billybud9557]

A very interesting relay event. Not often contested. Many years ago, my HS held this record. Even our best runners (4:14 and 4:17) were no where near this level. Not many University track teams could beat this in the early season......congrats to boys......thanks for posting

[@johnwilson5743]

Hi Angel. It really saddens me to hear that. For a High School runner, still developing physically, to be "asked" (or told!) to run another race the next day, will simply destroy him within a few years. Sadly, this is what happens to most College Middle/long distance runners. After having race meeting where they are required to race sometime 3 or 4 times in a weekend, plus "peaking" multiple times a year, for Cross country, Road (sometimes), Indoor Track and then Outdoor track... it just destroys them. Burnt out by age 23/24. That's why 98% of College middle distance track runners retire at end of college. It's sad. The top USA middle distance runners hit their career peaks in late 20's early 30's.

[@cincydooley]

@@johnwilson5743 98% of them stop running because only 2% of them can compete internationally. Stop it.

So the 4 guys will have Colin again. Hoping the best for these guys to getting as close as they can to a mark of 16 minutes. Those guys are no joke!

[@mikedauplaise7477]

Their coach said afterward that he was trying to get them to run their opening quarters a little more under control, but the adrenalin was high and they had never run a relay before. In fact, at least one of them had never even run on an indoor track before. With 3 of the guys being only juniors, the coach said they will be back again next year to try to do even better. I am officially a Newbury Park groupie.

It’s extremely difficult to run a sub-4 with a baton. Only sub-4 on Newbury Park is Colin. The national record was highly likely. They didn’t stand a chance to run sub-16:00. These four high school runners can go 1-4 in most cross country races and in their premiere track events.

Okay, yes, I'll admit to scheduling my weekend around trying to find out how Newbury Park ran. And, I'm very glad they showed up with their A game. But, another HS national record was set yesterday too. How about a video on Ridge HS. I grew up in Somerville NJ and had many XC and T&F meets against Ridge in both dual meets and county and conference meets. Hearing how they set a national record in the DMR made me proud to have grown up in central jersey (exit 10 btw).

Also to consider is that Lex Young, Leo Young, Aaron Sahlman, and Hector Martinez will be returning Seniors next year and Dev Doshi returns as a Junior.

The outdoor Track season could be a good indicator as to what we might expect from them.

Based on the structure of their splits, what do you think about those "suicidal" first 400s?

[@mr.mastermine7083]

It looked to me as if they were trying to hit 60, 63/64, 63/64, 60. The first splits were indeed very fast. Not quite sure what the strategy there was, It could very well just be accidental. After I watched one of the post-race interviews this seemed to be the most likely answer. Very impressive race in my eyes, hope to get a mile as fast as those splits someday.

[@lesmoore3638]

@@mr.mastermine7083 i like your concept BUT why do folks run the first split so fast? I'd say for obtaining a good position in a competitive race, which this was not. Physiologically, a more even pace with slightly depending splits would be optimal.

[@mr.mastermine7083]

@@lesmoore3638 While I do agree that physiologically more even splits are often a better way to run solo. I think that remembering that the runners are still in high school is important. just because they run fast times doesn't mean that they have the same pacing and Adrenaline control as professionals. ​When I race, while nowhere near as fast, my splits often are similar to these being fastest at the start with slightly slower splits in the middle and then again a fast-finishing split. I also don't put it past them to be training through this race and using it for an opportunity to test their ability to cycle out lactic acid.

[@lesmoore3638]

@@mr.mastermine7083 "Training through" is a possibility. It wouldn't explain, to me, why you'd go out like a rocket? I suggest that testing ones ability to deal with lactic acid is best done in training and not at the Armory when trying to set a national record, but that's me. They are not freshman, this was not their first big race and I have no doubt they know about splits and that going out at a 3:50 pace is a bad idea for a 4:05/4:10 miler. Any runner of mine knew damn well that they were to fast well before the 400 meter split. Maybe this is impossible at the Armory but, in big races, my runners knew the pace plan and they were informed where they stood at 100 or 200 meters. Maybe big races were more important to me because I was involved in far fewer then this amazing, almost mythical, team. Why are your splits like they are. Something like 105, 95, 95, 105% is typical but why? I'd say the only reason for going fast in the first split is for positioning purposes and this was of no consequence in this race where they were head and shoulders above the competition. The consequences of being 2 seconds two slow are a lot easier to correct than those of being 2 seconds two fast. If there goal was to run 16:20, they failed and the reason was visibly demonstrated in those first laps. I have none of the information they have and I am not attacking these boys or the coach but I seriously doubt they would think I'm far from the mark. They're to good to not know better.

It may seem like a bold prediction but if these kids are entered in a collegiate 4xmile outdoors I think they can seriously threaten 16:00. Their pacing wasn’t great considering they had no one to run with and constantly were lapping kids. Aaron Sahlman has already run a 4:05 and Colin has dipped under 4. Lex’s opening 400 was 57, way too fast. The adrenaline of the Armory crowd clearly kicked in. They have a shot at 16 outdoors just need to be in a race with like competitors, which would be collegiate athletes.

[@kaluker1]

bro he said it in the video only two teams have ever broken 16 and they were two pro teams. the 4xmile is such a shit event because if you're trying to actually run a fast time all the legs except for the lead off is basically a time trial. plus, literally every 4xmile in the history of college just comes down to the anchor leg nobody shoots for a fast time in that event so if they would have to lead the entire race wire to wire
