Leo and Lex Young ready to try latest run for a state title
LA TimesNewbury Park High’s Lex Young, center, leads teammates Colin Sahlman, left, and brother Leo Young in the boys’ 3,200-meter run at the Arcadia track and field invitational last spring. “And I think by internalizing that, you’re able to perform at your best because you’re always thinking about it.” Life for Stanford commits Leo and twin brother Lex is a calculated string of butterfly effects. Now, running’s permeated every aspect of Lex and Leo’s lives — and via the twins’ YouTube channel, “L&L,” they’re trying to inspire others to similarly dedicate themselves. “They’re not afraid,” coach Tanya Brosnan said, “to push for something more.” Last cross-country season, Leo broke Nico’s record for the fastest time by a high schooler on a three-mile course, while Lex in May notched the second-fastest 5,000-meter performance in national history during track season.
