Sean Brosnan - Newbury Park (CA)
Under Sean Brosen, the Newbury Park boys have become the team to beat over the past two years. The Panther's 2019 campaign saw a Team Nationals title led by senior Nico Young's incredible performance and overall record-smashing season.
Many may have thought that a follow-up would be tough, as the Panthers didn't have a front guy like they once did. However, the rest of the team continued to close down the gaps and the Panthers came back in 2020 stronger than ever.
The team was only able to compete in two races over the fall season and the speed ratings don't lie about just how good this program is. Take a look.
This team would have been a heavy contender to repeat as team national champs again in 2020. Many believe this team was even better than the 2019 version.
