Cam Levins will enroll at SUU under an alternate identity, Lam Cevins, while simultaneously being a Nike Athlete. He will live two separate lives. He will then win the 2012 NCAA XC title in an astonishing 26:01.

I could be wrong but I heard he is appealing for it on the basis of injury one of his earlier seasons.

Aric Van Halen, Jake Hursyz, Ammar Moussa, Joe Bosshard, Morgan Pearson, Blake Theroux, Martin Medina, Connor Winter. This team is fine. Plus they bring back a guy named Mark Wetmore. Maybe you've heard of him.

This could change the math a little bit. Mick Byrne commenting on Mo Ahmed's possible redshirt:

“Every young kid dreams about representing their country in the Olympics,’’ Byrne said. “To be realistic, what you want out of Mohammed going forward into the Olympic Games is to go out and just absorb the whole experience and enjoy it. Down the road, if we spend the next 12 months in just getting stronger, he can go faster. He’s got to be given the opportunities and put in the races to go faster.’’

That will be the next stage, though Byrne acknowledged it’s hard right now to look too far ahead.

“What do we do when he comes back (to Wisconsin)?’’ he posed. “Is there a recovery process? Our (cross country) season starts right away, so do we redshirt him and get him ready for a year down the road? If we do that, it’s certainly going to affect our team.’’

Byrne recited the UW’s proud tradition and history of success in cross country, including last season’s NCAA championship.

“He (Ahmed) has a role to play in all of that,’’ he went on. “He has a role to play in the future of this team this year. But I’m going to look at this recovery process; I’m going to look at what’s best for him because, ultimately, what’s best for him is going to be best for the team.’’

It's cool of Byrne to be thinking of Ahmed's future and not just what he can get out of him this season.
