Newbury Park senior and Northern Arizona University commit Aaron Sahlman stuns everyone by running the race of his life, winning his first high school cross country race ever and it ends up being at the 2022 Nike Cross Nationals championship!  A key part of the famed Newbury Park, Calif., program, Aaron unleashed great finishing kicks in postseason challenges in recent weeks but really "kicked" it up a notch with a great effort at nationals! 

Coming in, it looked like Aaron might have a great chance to finish in the top five, but winning his a shocker! The 14:44.5 was a course record and took place against the strongest field we'd ever seen in a meet with high school-age athletes!
