at cmu, a lot of second means first

and that's literally true, at a school that is 65% dudes, you're never the first, you're getting the seconds champ

Does anyone else think it's a little lame the way CMU constructed their team? All throws and middle distance. When's the last time they even had a decent sprinter?

I think that's the general trend for D3. If you're a good sprinter, you're probably gonna be picked up for a D1 school in another sport (football).

Well, back in the day, Emory and WashU would win conference on the backs of their sprinters. Dudes who could get serious points 100-200-4x1-4x4 and all of the jumps.

I guess CMU is doing the same, except with depth.

WashU is almost always the all-around best team. CMU is just designed right now to rack points on the throws, and they win.

Any1 know what's up with the boznian banger this year? Haven't seen any results for outdoors so far

I think the reigning indoor NCAA champs will win.

he's been logging runs

Hello and Jashmagesh,

I want give update on Elvir, son of Nedzad. The galloping horse of Sarajevo bring much joy and great happiness to Sarajlic name. However, we Bosnians settle for number 1---only! I bring boy Elvir home to train, old-school. Tractor pulls, long runs of fetch goat milk from Dragan the Goat milker, and sprints to catch neighborhood chicken "Zlatan the Crazy Chicken". He do great!!

Elvir wish great success to teammates at UAA gathering. We Bosnians have old saying go like this: "Sa srećom!" This mean best of lucks!

Zbogom,

Nedzad Sarajlic

What the F is UAA?

It's kind of like the USA, but with an A instead of an S.

Sdrawei!

This is Bogdan Bojanov, father of the great Emil. I wish success and many pobedi to fellow Balkan, Elvir, son of Nedzad. 1500m is great distance for UAA and Balkans alike.

Dovizhdane,

Bogdan

His log says he's out with a stress fracture. What a shame. Probably the only one in the conference who can give sullivan a run for his money in the 5k

Looks like Norley is doing the 800-mile double. Dude's in for a world of hurt, but he could actually do pretty decently in the attempt.

Also 4x8. Carnegie's going for the points.

And 4x4. Getting out of bed monday morning will not be pleasant for that kid
