Silencing the critics?

Doubt it.

What's his PR?

This is defnitely a step forward after that 4:11 mile and 14:17 5k but consider his 13:37 in HS and his 28:1x a couple months later and it still feels like he has a ways to go

That's a good showing for sure, but what I want to know is why these guys who presumably will be competing into the summer and possibly late-summer in Europe are wasting their time with indoors? Man, does it trash your body. I think it's ridiculous for anyone to be in this kind of shape in February, unless you are keying on World Cross.

19-second PR for Victoria Jackson, wo was 2nd at 2000 footlocker (and couples w/ teammate Amy HAstings' 15:45 2 weeks ago). Also a huge improvement for Campbell, a true freshman.

Is that time a SURPRISE?

Really?

And isn't Saladbar kinda hypocritical in having his young charge do indoor when he wants to best for his development?

well it looks like rupp's getting back into good shape. i wonder if he will compete at the indoor championships.

You're confused. Rupp ran 29+ in HS in the 10k. He ran 2815 last year in the 10k.

Victoria Jackson still has eligibility? Wow, the girl is 24 years old. I know she was injured a lot through college with various ailments but come on...

It is nice to see her healthy though.

13:48i is an equal, if not better performance than his 13:37 outdoors

good sign

Bull$hit. UW is 307 meters, it is faster than most outdoor tracks.

Wrong. It has faster RACES than most outdoor tracks.

Galen Rupp running 13:48 at this time of the year is excellent. I would not be surprised if he ran sub 13:30 by the end of summer.

what I meant was a Junior American record

And you'd still be wrong. He did NOT run an AJR soon after his 1337 5k. He ran it his FRESHMAN year in college.

I'm quite impressed with Mineau's progession since HS. The world isn't ready for white men with dreds, but this guy has unlimited upside. Tear it up, brother! Who is this Rupp?

Looks like Rupp lapped his Oregon teammates. And of course his 14min plus 5k and 4:11 mile several weekends ago was just used as a workout.

Looks like a pretty light representation for Stanford for men and women in the 5k. I would assume they usually have a lot more scores, with faster times than these. Are they falling apart on the track too?
