Boyden training last 10 days seemed great.    Santos was excellent his first 4 seasons. Not so last two

In 2022 they were ranked #1 going into Nats and placed a distant 4th, barely ahead of 5th. That was the year that Charles won it. So that's at least 3 years. I don't know if it's Santos or the guys (have Sprout or Boyden ever run well at Nats?), but there's too much talent on this roster to not be in the mix every year. And it seems like they run great most every year at the conference champs then the wheels come off, which points to coaching.

I just looked: Sprout has placed 72, 95, 118 and 81 in the last 4. Boyden has been 218, 75, DNS and 75. That's just not getting it done. And Lex and Leo are only sophs, but it's fair to say that they were among the best HS runners ever. Like I said, I'm starting to think it might be Santos. I've heard mixed things and mostly have defended him, but I'm not there so who knows.
