Iowa State's Bill Bergan Invitational: Notable Results

Did you happen to get the mens 3000m? A good friend of mine was in the fast heat and I would love a rare opportunity to watch him race.

I watched both heats of the mens' 3000 but I didn't film them. The 2nd heat was pretty solid and a whole bunch of dudes went under 8:25 if I remember correctly. Who does he run for? There was some GINORMOUS ginger kid from Marquette who ran in the first heat.

without going more in detail, my friend runs for the cyclones

and i already saw the results; just wondered if there was video to go along w/ them.

anyway, thanks for filming the races you did get!

If your friend is Tyler Jerman, he ran really, really tough until the last two laps. I was like "where did this guy come from." He must not have eaten this morning or something, because he seriously suffered over the last 200 meters and almost slowed to a walk.

Has Iowa State ever developed a while, american male under Corey Ihmels?

He may be a great womens coach but he cant coach the guys for sh1t

Kiel Uhl might be the only good white male to develop at ISU.

Other than that they suuuuuuuuck. Jermann was an embarassment. 2 races at 3k and not even under 850? what is this kid, back in high school? kick him off the team and stop wasting their time. If the kid spent time training and not taking selfies and posting them on facebook every hour maybe he'd be better.

I had never heard of him, but he looks like he could do something down the line. They're training pretty hard right now, so I think he may just need to get used to the intensity of college running. Is he from Iowa origanally?

I think it's just a matter of time before we start seeing his guys kicking some serious tail. He seems to be a patient, "big picture" coach who is still building a program to his specifications. There are some awesome runners in his training pipeline from what I've seen.

He's been there what, 8 years? How long does it take to develop good runners? If I'm not mistaken hes been the mens coach longer than the women and theyre lightyears ahead of the men.

Some people are just good coaches for certain genders. Corey Ihmels is a good womens coach. He's a bad mens coach.

Jamie Pollard should do those men on the team a favor and get them a real coach. It's the least he can do since they all pay full tuition since all their money goes to worthless foreigners (save 1 out of every 7)

Damn!!! That's pretty harsh! In my experience, training with international athletes made me better. Even if they were on scholarship and I wasn't. Maybe it's a nineties ethos.

And I think I understand what you're trying to say: Coach Ihmels has had more success with the girls than guys. That's definitely true. But that isn't to say that he can't do the same with the guys.

More likely the poster's friend was Brian Llamas who ran 8:12.

THAT guy was a beast. I look forward to watching him in the coming years.

Hello from Canada! Was wondering if you happened to have video'd the Women's Mile Run at this meet (Bill Bergan Invitational 2013)...

Thank you!
