He's dedicated in spurts. He was for a while last spring but then it seems like he just gave up on himself. I hope he can get it together at Oregon with the amount of potential he has.

Are you making a joke? Dedication means having a single minded purpose. You can’t be dedicated in spurts. That is the opposite of what dedication is.

Lots of transfers from other colleges, maybe a quarter for men and women.

Save a click:
8:13 and 14:00 indoors recently
Doesn't matter. Cooper Teare is way faster.
There are about 25 guys faster than him that are the same age.
Why does Soren get all this attention anyway? What about all the good runners his age who are actually achieving their potential and staying on the right path?
They updated his picture on the oregon track page.

Are you saying that his motivation comes in spurts? So last year was a refractory period?
Yes. His motivation was decreased by that horrible depression that he had when he dropped out of college. Then he must have gotten it again in the summer and fall. Hopefully he's seeing a counselor so he can get some mental stability and stay focused on running.
I'm super excited for him. Wasn't he living out of a pickup truck for a portion of last spring/summer? Now he back at a top program chasing prs.
Bump

You young YMV young man need to learn your place
Soren is the best wrote:Also, he's running the mile tomorrow at the UW Last Chance meet.Yes, he did run the mile. Was the redshirt freshman anything special? No, not really. Just another horse in the barn that went out and ran a decent race. He ran 4:05.88 which was good enough for 5th overall. Winning time was 4:02.43. He finished just behind to local western Washington athletes, Nate Beamer a redshirt sophomore at the University of Washington and Jack Yearian also a redshirt sophomore at the University of Oregon.
Soren's the new 5000m NCAA D1 champ this season, calling it rn.
He didn't qualify.
The only video by Soren left on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbG7XlBGEZw
Yeah he’s went completely dark on YouTube and other social media. Doesn’t use logarun anymore either.
Hopefully all this keeps him on the right path
