Elias Gedyon is running in the NCAA somehow??

D2 doesn't have a 5 year clock, where it starts the moment you enroll your first semester. D2 does have the 5 years to compete 4, but they do by semesters. you have 10 semesters to compete in 8 (4 xc, 4 track). however, the kicker is, if you are not a full time student the semester doesn't count against you. basically you push pause on your eligibility. will he be a lock for national champion in xc and track? seems like Trinidad state is basically gonna be Adams State B team, in either if kids aren't ncaa eligible or cant make the team, they will be placed at Trinidad, since Damon Martin's daughter is the coach at Trinidad. which by the way, is a sexy sexy women. hopefully at nationals we can randavoue for private training sessions ;)

that was simultaneously very informative and very disturbing.

So has this Dude got a baby mama and 2 kids in Denver?

I believe this is a TFRRS error. Lots of coaches just forget to change people's year on direct athletics for the first few races.

I imagine he'll be listed as a junior soon.

And that was definitely a disturbing post.

He's listed as a Jr on the TFRRS roster

Martin has always got kids eligible. Elias Geydon is just another in a long line of ineligible runners until he gets turned in or caught. What happened to Aitchison last year? Got caught after running in some Outdoor meets. He was not eligible. Martin is the Assoc AD. Compliance answers to him. Conflict of interest here. The clock is ticking for Martin and his method of interpreting eligibility rules. The RMAC and Head Cross Country coaches know. They are just waiting.... letting out the line....letting the fish run....

Geydon is eligible. Check your D2 rules fool. He has 10 semesters to compete. The semesters he sat out don't count. Martin knows the D2 rules.

Keep trying Rock. At least try using different formats to your bashing.

You guys repeatedly spelling his name wrong just look willfully ignorant and self-discrediting, I hope you know.

This guy is 100% right. From his history of going directly to college out of high school there would be no issues. He'd have like 6-8 semesters left.

Also, my personal view is that we shouldn't be mad at a coach for getting a kid back into school to get an education and pursue their dream. Would you have preferred the kid just crashed and burned? NO WAY. As long as it's within the rules, help the kids get educated and have fun racing while doing so.

this is absolutly ridiculous. elias gedyon was racing lukas verzbicas in high school....that was 8 years ago. which would make him 26...but he is running XC in college? wtf

Agreed. The dude should be focusing on club nats like rest of us has-beens.

There’s a lot more of this in D2 than you probably realize. The only reason people throw a fit about Elias is because he’s really good
