Brian Barraza ran a 13:38 so far this season. Magness has endured immense amounts of flack for not having any good distance runners. Can we at least give credit where credit is due? There aren't many 4:13 milers from high school running 13:38 right now. Kudos!
Now you see why he got slammed here as a 4:01 high school miler who couldn’t get under 14 flat.
If the kid runs well at Nationals I'll give Magness credit, as I don't think he's ever coached an All-American. Is that right?
Wasn't Barazza an A-A last year in the steeple?

That is not right.

He was 7th indoors in the 3K
That was first All American Indoors.
Never coached an all American outdoors.
What’s interesting is this kid ran 8:32 steeple unattached last year redshirting and never got any better. Did he run USA?
Now, Houston has a real chance to do something as a team so it would pay off big time if he could actually contribute some NCAA points. Sub-13:40 certainly says he is at the top of the steeple talent pool!

According to twitter, that was Houston's first AA indoors in any distance event. He's only run one steeple outdoors so far, a 8:41 where he won by 40 seconds.
Flotrack has a WOW on him today:

So two people. lol
Plus, Cole had a medical issue his senior year of high school that prevented him from running track, else he certainly would've run faster than 4:13.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
