2011 Results and best arguable non-XC performance

Was this year the deepest year ever?

1. Lawi Lalang 13:08i
2. Chris Derrick 27:31
3. Leonard Korir 27:29
4. Cameron Levins 27:27
5. Mohammed Ahmed 27:34
6. Luke Puskedra 1:01:30 Half Marathon
7. Diego Estrada 27:32

Puskedra excluded the top 7 guys all have a 27:35 performance or better on the track. Have the track credentials of the first 7 across ever been better? Will next year be?

2012 returners

1. Lawi Lalang 13:08i Defending Champ
2. Stephen Sambu 27:28 Runner-up in 2010
3. Mohammed Ahmed 27:34 2nd returnee from 2011
4. Henry Lelei 8:45/13:50 3rd returnee
5. Paul Chelimo 13:21 4th returnee
6. Andrew Colley 13:49 5th returnee
7. Donn Cabral 8:32 steeple 6th returnee


Other guys to consider
Farrell Oklahoma State 13:15
Bayer Indiana 13:33
Dunbar Oregon 13:36i
Hursyz Colorado 13:38
Stinson Oregon 13:39i

That time Derrick laid down was the fastest by an American born athelete ever on the Lavern Gibson Cross country course.

Can you fit any more superlatives into that sentence?

I think Diego Estrada might be coming back for cross next year. He missed half a season due to injury one time, and he might be getting a medical redshirt for that season

The only superlative was "fastest ever." I think the word you're looking for was "qualifiers".

I do not see a single WR on that list, so no; go look at the UTEP 17-point team/year

Henry Rono held the world records for 5000 and 10000 that year.
