No family is even close to the Christiansens!!!!! Jake, Jacy, Job, Jed, Jesi, Jill,and Jenny. They had more american age group records before they turned 12 years old than these other runners will achieve in their lifetime!!!


But what did any of them ever do in High School, much less college? Zip. They may be a nice family but all the kids burned out before age 15. Ran way to much at a young age. Too bad bacause there might have been some pro talent there. We will never know.

I wouldn't call 5th at d3 nationals senior year of college or leading team to title soph year "burning out".

Not world class, but I wouldn't call that "burning out" after 15 either.

Well the idea the two will have kids (adam and kara) is a farse.

After crushing the Worlds, breaking AR's and getting on the Tonight Show, she will divorce Adam (who will really hit rock bottom), and start a more hollywoood style relationship, she will be like the Paris Hilton for Nike, making bags, dress shoes, heels, skirts and such. Her flings will include NBA stars, rock stars, a time with Lance, and probably in her highlight before London, a leaked sex tape with phenom German F.

This is a great point, unbelievable. Makes me think Galen will make a strong attempt at this at least once this outdoor season, perhaps Cardinal invite?

Well don't forget JJ Clark, he had State records and was a Olympic trials finalist too. I think he ran a good mile need to research that.
