2012-13 Patriot League T&F

Yeah the flat track conversions have changed this year quite considerably. 5K is like 10 seconds, mile is like 3ish. These new conversions should be interesting given leagues will be held at the flat track of Army. Could lead to some hot times going into IC4As

Yep, lots of IC4A qualifiers coming from flat 200 tracks. No need to chase times at Armory or BU anymore.

But is a ten second conversion really fair? Just wondering, it seems a bit ridiculous to me

unfortunately they probably overcompensated, especially in the distance events. I guess it is one of those things that is hard to get right, but I would rather see teams racing on banked then flat.

That would have given Cody Rome about a 14:05 at indoor Patriots last year.

Regardless, the league looks stacked this year. I don't know who will be able to out kick Johnson, and did Army really get a 10.1 recruit?

A-N Beveridge who raced a week longer than any other Patriot League woman this fall, easily meets ECAC std in 5K, running 17:05 - a PR and nearly a track record.

Shut up. No one cares.

Bucknell has got to be the favorite early on. It doesn't look like navy will have their dominant distance runners this season anymore. Grant it, they are still going to have great runners. Bucknell just looks like a more complete T & F team right now.

Did you really just say "grant it"???

It's "granted."

Please tell me you didn't go to Bucknell. You're embarrassing us.

This guy doesnt need to embarrass Bucknell, the athletes and coach do it enough.

Anyways, I heard Johnson is putting in some serious mileage in an attempt to qualify for the 5k at nattys. We are talking 130-140s.

Is johnson really a high mileage dude?

Did you understand the general meaning behind the post despite the grammar error? I bet you did since you are a Bucknellian. So why don't you shut the f*ck up and go knit pick something else. It is the people like you that give Bucknell a bad rep with their arrogance and over aggressive attitude. I'm not writing a essay that is going to be graded.

I would rather read about the upcoming track and field season on this running website rather than worrying about somebody's grammar on a social media site.

Hey 'Bone,

Who sh*t in your lunchbox this morning? I make a post, a statement of fact, that this forum is mostly (all?) guys posting on topics limited to male athletes competing in the Patriot League and you accuse me of being homophobic? You are way off-base, my friend.

The subject of my original post just happened to be the best Patriot League finisher at XC Nationals and a Sophomore to boot. Not to mention that she then drops a 17:05 5K two weeks later in the first indoor meet of the season. She is currently, without question the best distance runner in the league measured against her peers. But you [whoever you are - we only know you are too feeble a troll to use a consistent user name] claim that "No one cares." And I agree, sadly... On this forum, you're right. This is a forum where guys post about the athletic exploits of other guys. When women athletes are mentioned it is almost always with a derisive and misogynistic undertone. And you have the insolence to suggest that my interest in women athletes is prurient? What planet are you from?

Dude, you didn't even know that the phrase is "granted", not "grant it." I mean goddamn, this is like some elementary school sh*t.

You made a gay joke he called you out on it move on. I'm really interested to see what kind of times Allen and Johnson can run this indoor season and how they'll stack up against one another come Championship time. Johnson has shown that he has some good speed for a 5k/10k guy (2:27 k 4:06 mile). American has always had guys that can close well though.
