  • America's top two high school cross country teams in 2019, Great Oak High and Newbury Park High, couldn't be more different and their contrasting approaches to the grueling 5 weeks of post-season championship running is examined in this episode. Despite their many differences, they share one thing in common during this period - stress. Come along as we follow the post-season from League Finals, through CIF-Southern Section Finals and culminating in the 2019 CIF State Cross Country Meet where these teams compete for their respective California Division Championships as well as qualifying spots in the national championships meet.
    hdRunners joins forces with an icon of California running media to explore the extraordinary 2019 cross country season in this 6-episode series. New episodes will follow every other Sunday with simple interview releases appearing on the Sundays in between episode releases.
    Host: Rich Gonzalez, PrepCalTrack

      @@jayvonpryor1956 a few things that have worked for me is making sure the shoes I’m wearing have proper tread and or get yourself a pair of running shoes made for wet conditions. I would also say to layer up a lot because you can always take clothes off. Pay attention to footing and it’s okay to run slower but go farther if the conditions aren’t good.

      When Nike Cross Nationals was set up over a decade ago California was one of the issues when it came to qualifying. Few things to think about
      #1 California is actually about the same size population or actually bigger than any of the other nine NXN qualifying regions.
      #2 rather having the California schools having their own NXN “regional” meet a week later NXN officials decided To use the CIF-State cross country meet as the ‘de facto’ Nike Cross Regional meet
      #3 these school don’t get an ‘automatic’ entry, they still need to finish in the “Top 2” of the power merge for the invite and “Top 4-5” to be considered for an At-Large entry to NXN

    bruh did they change the Southern Section map? lol it looks wayyyy different

    • @hdRunners
      @hdRunners  3 года назад +4

      Cruz, several years ago the sections were re-aligned. Several areas from the central coast (San Luis Obispo area) and the high desert-Eastern Sierras area were moved into Central Section. Long commutes from these areas to competitions in the Southern Section were the main driver of this realignment. Strangely, the CIF map on the official web site has not been updated. But, you may have noticed that perennially competitive teams like Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo have not been at CIF-SS competition in recent years..

Also yes, I double checked and had their places swapped, Jace was 3 in team scoring and the other was 4. Never said NP isn’t a great team. Probably one of if not the best HS teams ever.
