A while back around Pre classic time, an email of the week was featured with a man named Miles Rouches cited as the author. He was interviewed and mentioned he goes to Oregon State and runs for their Running Club. I've looked up this man and this club and it looks be a pretty competitive group of club athletes. Does anyone know about this man or this team? I think They could be great in the NIRCA circuit. Also, many of them had good HS PRs but didn't go to a school with a program. What gives?
I've met him a few times. He has a twin brother. Both nice dudes.
Good to hear! They are pretty quick!

Hey, this is Mason - his less famous twin brother! I'll blow my cover and have to use another trolling name haha.
Yeah the OSU club is great! We've had some pretty good guys the past couple years. The club is only 6 years old and still growing quite a bit. We've never had enough interest in XC to warrant a NIRCA trip, hoping that'll change soon enough(especially now that the club has been mentioned on letsrun! ).
And thank you Jamin for saying I am nice. You're a cool guy too!

I feel famous. The url of this thread is definitely going in my tinder bio. I'll be at the Bowerman 5k in Beaverton at the end of this month if anyone wants to say hi.

Yes hahaha the club has a great group of people and it's come a long way in the four years I was there.
I think They could be great in the NIRCA circuit.
Thanks for capitalizing They when referring to us!! We could do fairly well in the NIRCA circuit and I believe the current leadership is planning on participating in NIRCA this year. One of the reasons we havent participated in the past is because we don't start school until late september so it's been hard to get a real solid group of people for cross country. We also have tons of races around the area that give us a pretty good season - These past two have ended with a 10k (put on by the awesome people who do the stumptown xc series)on the same day as the NCAAs which to me is a pretty good way to finish things up. Not every club needs to do NIRCA to have a fun xc season.
Also, many of them had good HS PRs but didn't go to a school with a program. What gives?
It's because our club is so dang cool ?? who needs to run for some D3 team when you can have the experience of running with a team and still go to a large school. Also see the UO club, they typically get runners with faster PRs out of high school than we do. There are a lot of reasons to choose a college and running is just one of them. The OSU club gives people of all ability levels a place where they can make friends and continue to run. I don't know about you but to those seem to be the two things I would want from a program.

Do you mean like writing workouts? A few of us collaborate when it comes to that...it's basically an amalgamation of what we did in HS, what the cool grad student who D1 told us about, and stuff we read about on the boards. We're very lucky to have resources like letsrun to allow us to get by without a coach.
