Rene Paragas, Saugus HS

excelent interview. just love rene. but...where is the rest of it????

W.O.W. should be up soon. Hold your horses

Just put their workout video up already! The wait is killin me!!!!

Harrier had Saugus #1 at the time of the video.

Keri Molt, the #7 runner ran a 18:37 5k at Woodward Park!! The #7..! That time would be good enough to be the #1 on MANY teams or at LEAST in the top 3 (I believe in the top 3 on almost every team except teams like Dana Hills and Torrey Pines).

Talk about depth!! They probably have around 25 girls who can break 6 in the mile.

Saugus FTW at NXN!!!!

I'm definitely excited for Wednesday.

That is also a good point about their JV team. Courtney Wilson, who is their number 8 runner, runs an 18:42 at Mt. Sac. THEIR NUMBER 8 RUNNER!!! I think they also had a couple of other JV girls under 19 at Mt. Sac as well.

Make sure to tune in on Wednesday........

and nice at athat over 9000 comment!

and he says " you didnt see the boys out today because they are training for something different"

guess we will see a workout!

humble guy =) "we have to beat them to be their rivals" when talking about fayetteville-manlius..

hope saugus wins NXN, good luck coach! i saw the interview with mahoney on dyestatcal, she seems like a well grounded and great individual, best of luck to the team.

NOT #1 team in the U.S. forgetting about FM Flotrack?? FM > Saugus, any time any place, just watch at NXN!!

Are we going to have a Saugus workout?? That would be AMAZING!!!

After OSU boys, Washington women, and now Saugus.. if we get a Saugus workout, I

SAUGUS GIRLS = INSANE!!!

And so INCREDIBLY DEEP, their JV team would still be a VERY VERY good team (quite possibly top 20 in California, and we all know how much depth CA has)

those saugus girls man...insanity
i cant wait to see their workout...im guessing we get to see one

i will definitely be rooting for them at nxn..this is their year baby!!!

I love hearing what Rene has to say. Thanks guys.

manilus and saugus....its gonna be a battle!!!

For Track; here is the road to the State Meet for CIF Southern Section: Top 3 in League -> CIF Prelims -> CIF Finals -> Masters ->State Prelims (depending on event) -> State Finals

there is no Prelims at state for 3200 meters, instead the bar for qualifying to state from Masters is much more difficult. For instance, I ran 9:13 in Southern Section Masters and didn't qualify for the State Meet; however the bar is based on previous year's performances.

California has too many high schools to have just one giant state meet. So instead there are qualifying races to make it to state that involve rounds in your Section, Southern Section which is by far the largest in terms of number of schools is called CIF Southern Section. First, you must qualify a spot to your Section prelims by placing high enough in your League. After Prelims you have Finals. For Southern Section, this is called CIF Finals at Mt. Sac. Only the top teams from finals are permitted to compete in the California State Meet where schools from other section finals come together. Yea, it's a lot of racing, and track is even worse.

"Rene Paragas is the coach of the #1 high school girl's team in the US."

And by #1 you mean #2....FM FTW

i love seeing what the top girls/guys high school teams are doing. and does this mean that workout wednesday is gonna be a Saugus workout i though you said something about the workout in the interview

Can someone please explain california for me? What is the difference between CIF finals and the State meet? What is sectionals, the Masters meet, and all that stuff?

yea, fm comes to ball year in and year out.

FM ftw
