The true story of a high school cross country team that went from obscurity to becoming the fastest squad the country, and perhaps the world, has ever seen, called inspiring and entertaining (Jerry Schumacher) and a deliciously rich tale (Neal Bascomb).When Sean Brosnan arrived at Newbury Park High School in 2016, their cross country team hadn't so much as qualified for a California state championship in twenty-five years. Brosnan himself had never coached high schoolers, though he was no stranger to the sport. A collegiate All-American, he had spent years trying to chase his ambitions of becoming a professional runner, along the way learning from some of the most successful coaches in the country. From day one at Newbury Park, Brosnan made a promise: Give me your total commitment and I'll give you a state championship in four years. He did them one better: Brosnan's runners would take an unprecedented three consecutive national championships, smashing records, winning Division I scholarships, and representing their country in the Olympics. With expert insights and a deep love for the sport, Sean Brosnan's Beyond Fast offers a riveting chronicle of that journey. Tracing Newbury Park's early successes, their heartbreaking missteps, and the winding road that would lead them to running glory, he tells a story of guts, sacrifice, and determination. By turns heartbreaking and exhilarating, it reminds you that the only limits that matter are the ones you set for yourself.
