Fernandez had already graduated from OSU but he had an outdoor season and possibly an indoor season of eligibility left. Fernandez will not be using it and has hired Tom Ratfcliffe as his agent and will run as a professional: http://www.letsrun.com/2012/german-0629.php Fernandez talks about how he sees the 5000 and 10,000 as his best distances. |

He's had injuries. But I've never seen or heard him be anything but class. He's so talented. I hope he gets long, uninterrupted training. |

German clearly got a late start to his training cycle this season and was definitely fighting an uphill battle the whole way. I think his progress is exciting in regards to his future |

German is a pro!? Sad to see that our runners are paid so poorly that even some of our best have to sell their bodies. |

Total speculation here but: German chose Tom Ratcliffe. Also happens to be Solinky's agent. German wanted to move to 5k/10k. Put the two together and.... Jerry Schumacher! |

he sure did not run like a pro today. |

Yeah, Tom Ratcliffe is also agent to most everyone else in Jerry's crew (Lopez Lomong, Evan Jager, Andrew Bumbalough, Elliott Heath and Brent Vaughn). |

Nobody ever said it was going to be easy! It's been a roller-coaster ride these last few years but he's not a "Pretender" and better things are on the horizon. If he plants himself down now in good soil and the gardeners are carefully watching out for his interests, he will grow and mature into a powerhouse. There's still a dragon in this guys cage that desperately wants out and if he is in the right environment it will come forth! Paradoxically though, everyone has a journey that they must take if they want to discover who they really are - let's hope he's pointed in the right direction! Godspeed! |

Is that the same Tom Ratcliffe that owns the long standing Midnight Sun Run 10k record? |

German could be the next Ritz. (i.e. flashes of brilliance interspersed with extended injuries.) |

So if he has officially confirmed that he is done with NCAA competition, we can finally put this topic to rest... http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=2912804 |
