From experience I can vouch that distance guys are some of the hardest working and most consistant athletes across the board. Granted there are always exceptions which go both ways. Most sprinters are born fast and simply need fine tuning and strength training. Most distance guys are born average or below average and work their asses off to be successful. Until you can put you name on a post, do us all a favor and stop making yourself, your team, and you conference look like shit.

You never know who's watching

How is he wrong?

Name one sprinter who wasn't fast and then through practice became fast...

I bet you can't.. They all are fast and then get faster. It's natural, ask every coach you know (track, football, soccer, etc)..You can't teach someone how to be fast

here is this argument: take an average sprinter and an average distance runner. Match them up head to head in all track events, sprinter would take 100,200,400, 110 hurdles distance guy would take 800, 1500, steeple, 5k, 10k. 400 hurdles are a push. distance guy wins meet, has a bigger wiener, case closed.

and that's considering each event is run fresh; if its not, an even bigger edge goes to distance guy.
