    Anybody happen to know what's up with them lately?

    Last we heard, Jim had just had knee surgery. That was late September, I think.

    Joe was presumably healthy and strong through the summer and the fall, but had apparently had some injury problems in the latter part of the x-c season that limited his training some. (Korolev said so in post-Nats interview.)

    Absolutely no info on either one since, as far as I'm aware, and no sign of either yet this season.

    Anyone know what's happening?

    I was hoping to see some big things from those guys this year.

    re: sp2

    I have also wondered what has happened with the often injured Rosa twins.

    I am not sure of their eligibility status remaining, you would think they would get a 5th and maybe even a 6th with the time missed, but I am not sure.

    I have a theory where there are actually Rosa triplets - 3 identical men with red hair. Jim, Joe, and Juan

    One of the three is injured at any given time, but the other two trade off running prelims or regionals under one name before the other races the final under the same name. This also helps out on the homework/exam load at Stanford.

    James, not Joe, is running tonight after coming back from knee surgery this fall.

    Joe was running with an injury most of XC and is likely redshirting this season in an effort to heal.
