what happened........................was he sick...or did he had pussyattis
They must've told him they'd be doing drug testing after the race, so he finished too far out of contention to be tested.
I heard that he "folded" when he saw Martin Smith watching the race!!! Smith you must stay away!!!!
about 2000m into the race he suddenly surged and dropped like a 63. He continued that pace for one more lap (64-65) but the group started to catch him again. On the last 1200m he started to fade, and once the pack started a longer kick (800m), he dropped back more and more.
HGH...
Bottom line says Grimsley
f*** rupp, what about benninger????

Seconded! He was one of the favorites...
Benninger hasn't looked good in weeks. He got dropped easily at his region meet so I'd say it's no suprise he didn't make it through. Looks like he was just tired at the end of the year.
Being in the first heat is rough because everyone goes out slow and people like Rupp, Benninger, Bumbalough, etc. get blown away in the last couple laps. Gotta get used to those tactical races...
Heats are difficult because to my mind there is only one tactic that can be used (realistically) - stay with the pack and then (without running in the 3rd lane or getting boxed or doing something else silly) bring it on home with hopefully a controlled kick. Trying to get away from the field in a heat seems crazy - just too hard to do unless one is head and shoulders above the rest of the field in talent.

as a 3:58 indoor miler, i would think benninger could handle a slow tactical 5k race.

My thoughts EXACTLY blaznbison24. He definitely has the ability to hang in there and kick. But yeah, he looked tired the end of outdoor.
He also went 1:48 at Georgia Tech a few weeks back, to win his heat.
Benninger has always run fast during indoor and early outdoor. But, once regionals and nationals comes along, he chokes. He just doesn't have the fire. I kind of feel sorry for him.
Maybe the last 3 or 4 years of intense summer racing have caught up to old Gaylord. Even though you are a prodigy, you can still do to much racing! Take some time off and let your body rest.
Is it choking or physical burnout? I used to peak early in high school when we took indoors really seriously.
Wasn't one of Salazars reasons for having Rupp not run in college originally because there was too much racing? Seems like that was just an excuse now to keep him from Smith and use him as a bargaining chip for Nike and the UofO takeover
