with plenty of pacing help! Great run
She's an animal. Glad to see her killing it!
Not impressed. She ran 9:04 indoor two years ago. A high schooler just ran 9:05. Jenny ran 8:42 in college. 8:58 is not an impressive time by her standards and does not deserve an all caps thread.
Relax man ...'
I didn't title it Erin MF Finn

If it’s not an impressive time by her standards, then why hasn’t she run faster before? It’s also mid January. She’ll run faster.
The 3000 is hardly her best event. She may not improves too much . 8:58 is very solid time 1

Because it's an indoor 3k, no one cares. If you're sure she'll run faster then who cares about this time? No one, that's who.

As posted by a pathetic loser.
How will Finn run at 5000? hopefully at the power 5 meet
Erin is a huge talent, but she can only stay healthy for 3 months at a time. Reminds me of Seidel. Either real good or real hurt.

Great facts. This comes from the "Must Be Number One" mentality that we have in NCAA D1 sports. Stop pushing these kids so hard in college. There is more to life than winning.
Erin runs so hard , i mean forces every inch out her little body. I 'm surprised she hasn't been injured more often. She snaps back really fast too. It worries me though, when she goes road racing and has to train even more. Will she stay healthy ?

Winning is the point of racing against other people.

Yeah, it was the 'plenty of pacing' that doesn't feel/seem right about the comp, one against teams. I understand other teams were likely agreed to the pacing, but the 'spirit' of the comp gets dulled some as it turns into a time trial, one set to produce NCAA qualifiers. Team scores were kept and non-team folks had their elite men's mile. Don't care for the mixing of the two.
lets take baby steps here. It was great to have a quad meet without half the team sitting out for one reason or another. " Lets rest everyone for ncaa's". its Jan!
Meet was a big step in the right direction .
To be more specific, 2 UM alums paced others in the W 3000m.

You suck at punctuation!
make number two to be number one wrote: Winning is the point of racing against other people.
there are at least two alternatives to that point of view.
in one view, you do not race against other people, you race against yourself. the "point" of training and racing is to battle your own inner demons and to overcome the enemy within, and external factors like other competitors merely provide structure for the battle.
in the second view, it is for each person to decide for themselves what the point of anything is, or if it even has a point. Erin Finn is free to decide the "point" of that race for her, and each person in it is free to make their own decision in this matter. this is called personal autonomy and it is the philosophy behind what used to be called "the Great American Dream," but I haven't heard anyone use that expression in anything other than an ironical sense in years so maybe Americans don't have Great Dreams anymore. who knows?
Cheers.
