THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The country’s fastest high school distance runners were circling the track on a recent weeknight as Andrew Young dangled from the back of a speeding golf cart with his camera. Young’s twin sons, Lex and Leo, whose YouTube channel has nearly 13,000 followers, had enlisted their father to video their team’s workout for posterity. The problem was they kept outrunning the golf cart.
“I could almost keep up with them on the straightaway,” Andrew Young said.
That might sound familiar to runners who compete against the boys’ track and field team at Newbury Park High School, which is about 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
