Prediction: running too many miles will make you liberal.

100 mile weeks => low T => liberalism.

I personally believe we should ban running. It's just science, logic, and reason.

Patel 14:00 at ISU.

Morgan 4:05 at BU. not even top 3 on his school record board

My son Greg Morgan is a 4:05 miler and officially faster than your son Jamie Norton.

well that depends, did jamie norton run his 4:07 on a flat track?

Buried in the slow heat.

Now you see why Patel is D3. No name D1 guys beat him straight up.

He lost to Brogan Austin who has a marathon PR of 2:12 and he also beat Danny Kilrea of Notre Dame who came in 33rd at D1 Nationals.

He also kicked Jesse Reiser's butt, the guy who dominated Illinois running when Patel was a high school senior. How the turn tables.

This is why DIII shouldn't be allowed to run against DI. Patel is just taking spots from well deserving DI mid-levels who have yet to prove themselves in competitive meets.

HA! Sorry that your sensitive, MILLENIAL division 1 athletes were beaten by the blue collar, BOOMER division 3 athlete. Go back to your short courses (aka SAFE SPACE!)

I will put it into perspective. Patel is a very good college runner. He is an excellent D3 runner who would only be a good D1 runner. He beat Reiser but Resier has better college PRs and he was injured in the fall. Patel lost to guys like Basten from Minnesota who is a year younger than Patel and was slower than him in HS. He lost to Soto from Iowa who was only a decent HS runner. D3 guys like to make HS comparisons because their times are closer to Hs times than D1 guys are. D1 guys don't look back so it really isn't that important how well Patel or Reiser were in HS. Patel is a god to D3 guys but he would possibly get lapped by the top D1 guys in a 5k and he wouldn't even qualify for nationals. He chose to go D3 instead of getting lost in D1. He is at a private school so I wouldn't classify him as blue collar over some of the D1 guys who are attending their state schools.

He must've out kicked you pretty hard. It's alright man, we've all been there.

Reisser wasn't injured in the fall. He redshirted because Jon Davis got mono and decided to redshirt. so he doesn't have an excuse to get clapped by Patel

Patel is about the 100th best overall collegiate distance runner. There are D2 guys who are better and there are many D1 guys like Davis and Hoare who would smash him in the 5k also. He chose to go the JV route.

I'd say top 100 in the whole nation over all divisions is pretty good. I'm gonna make a guess that you would be lucky to have been top 100 in D3, JV as you said.
