Warmer weather, not as many club sports/ 7on7 teams and moving to 3 classes from 2 classes.
The warmer weather helps, but the buy-in that a couple of coaches have been able to gain is the factor.
Let's face it - the team's your refer to historically - including the 1980 FLYERS - are poor. Track is cheap - get out there and run, jump and throw. Earn a scholarship anyway you can.

I would think running in the Northern conditions equal more "buy-in" by the athletes. Southern School only have 1 or 2 cold meets a year. Northern schools only have 1 to 2 good weather meets a year. Huge difference in terms of training athletes.
I agree that those coaches have buy in but the Northern schools have just as much buy in. Just think about practicing both long and triple jump in 40 degree weather with rock hard sand.
I can tell you triple jump is awful, awful in the cold. I'm amazed I finished with functioning knees and ankles.
