Draw your own conclusion. A trackbot comparison might further educate our decision making process.

Solinsky was TREMENDOUS in 2010, all 3 of his sub 13 minute for 5000 were in 2010, he ran his best 3000 7:34.32 and the sub 27 for 10000 all in 2010.

Solinsky also ran 13:08.11 in 2010

His best times NOT in 2010 were

3000-7:36.90

5000-13:10.22

He really elevated himself to a higher level that year.

Over a career, Rupp easily, but as others have said Solinsky had a fantastic 2010 season. Too bad there was no World Championships or Olympics that year.

This is like asking whether Ole Miss has a better football program than Alabama because the Rebels strung together a few wins.

There is no contest between Rupp and Solinsky or Rupp and Withrow or Rupp and Hill or Rupp and True or Rupp and any of the other blue collar LRC favorite white-boys. Face the facts, in spite of your hate for Rupp, he's had the career you'd hoped all these other guys would have. Rupp produced when it counts and none of those guys did (except maybe Withrow but do you think he'd trade Footlocker for Rupp's hardware?).

P.S. Imane Merga says hi!

TrackBot, drop some knowledge.

Rupp. I can't believe this is even a question.

Better career or just better? Looks like Solinsky owned Rupp 75% of the time. Pity to be cut short by injury.
