Connor Burns chasing 5k record (again) Thinks he can run 13:20

he might wanna worry about chasing off his digital footprint first

TOO ZESTY CONNOR

This account hasn't posted anything like this before it seems as far as I can tell. If this sht is real he better be trolling

I am pretty upset the post this before Connor's big race tomorrow. This instagram account needs to be liability shading a high schooler's reputation without solid evidence like this. I am talking legal consequences here

Lol clearly a joke. Connor commented on the post.

what did he say? Do you think it will effect his race tomorrow? (I don't have instagram or snapchat)

Yeah the top talent gets to race through July and opens up later in the XC season. I was able to my junior and senior years race through the USA Champs and simply pushed back my XC start with the team until mid-Sep. thankfully I had a teammate in the same boat. Same Sortve experience as a FR as I raced USA Juniors and coach worked a plan for me to open later. Didn’t hurt me one bit but racing fast and against the best gives you so much confidence heading into any season. At the top level, a “summer” of XC training doesn’t move the needle.

The field he is in is not going sub 13:30. Cole Sprout is the only one under and then the next guys pr is the same as Connors

These dudes just need to move on. So many of them talk out their @ss.

A difficult task but the fact he's setting high goals is great and he gets my attention. Because he's giving it his best effort.

The fact that Connor is commenting and liking a lot of comments on that post seems to suggest he thinks the whole thing is funny. I feel like his "smack talking" before the NON race came off as a fairly immature attempt at getting attention, but was ultimately harmless. Encouraging this type of post makes me feel like he actually may not understand where the line is between "just having fun" and getting called into an administrator's or coach's office to talk about how his behavior is negatively impacting the image of the team and putting his scholarship in jeopardy.

+1

Also, “base phase” is a myth.

She was in the 5k here last year, too. Blew everyone out of the water but didn't even run to her potential.

I don't think this race is going to be fast enough as a group; he'll have to do some soloing.

Yeah, there's no proof that this is actually Connor Burns. Wow. ridiculous.

gotta love the one eye masonic cartoon character..always gotta have one eye shut...SMH

Just noticed that Burns’s future teammate Dan Watcke is in the 800 in this same meet - that’s one to watch out for, could easily see Watcke going sub 1:48. The Illinois 800 record is 1:47.95 by Sean Torpy and there are a number of 1:47 guys in his heat, so watch for Watcke to go for that record.

Can someone explain what the post was?
