Bizarre. Super weak fields with hobby joggers and doughboys.

Multiple NCAA champs and AA guys. Kiptoo leading with Hicks on heels.

Kurgat and Hacker also. All NCAA champs

After Jonathan Gault watched the post-race interview, he asked me, "How could Des not ask her about running off course?" It was kind of funny, she concluded the interview by asking "There's one thing everyone wants to know " and instead of saying "what happened when you ran off course, were you nervous you'd thrown it away?" she said "Have you started any speed work?"
I told Jon I imagined Des didn't know she ran off course. She's probably standing behind the finish line getting her mic ready for the interview.

Boys are getting after it. Kiptoo 4:25.7 1st mile. Slight 2 meter lead on 4 man chase pack of Hicks, Kurgat, Wildschutt, Muhumed.
I"ve got to disagree with what Carrie T just said. 2:10 in the marathon is NOT good for a Kenyan like Wesley Kiptoo.

Is that Josh Kerr holding the finishing tape? He ought to lace ‘em up!

Yes these are cross guys. Some better track guys aren't better than them in cross.

Wildschutt ran 13:02 this year. This field is loaded up front. Down to three it looks like. Wildschutt, Kurgat, HIcks. Hicks now getting dropped at 19 min mark. Hicks says no mas.
Now it's a two man race.40 -
I am nervous about the finish after the women's mistake.

If this is supposed to be a "pro event", then why are runners getting lapped? A good percentage of the field is over 2 minutes back at 3 miles

Wildschutt FTW.
Anyone notice who was 19th? I know he was disappointed about last Saturday's game but entering a pro xc meet on a few days notice seems like a weird sort of punishment.

That path looked like a rubberized surface.

Funny guy. Ryan Day the runner would like to earn 5% of his salary.

It's funny that this is the perception when the men's field has some real studs in it. The next poster was correct.
2x b/c list Kenyans and a BTC guy on a rust buster does not equal “real studs”, in my opinion. The S African has run 13:02, so that would be the only person worthy of your emphatic pleas for validity. The people getting lapped further illustrate the quality of this “pro” field.

Multiple NCAA champs and you can't get excited. Just go away rather than brigning down the sport. Did you watch the NCAA XC meet and say how slow everyone was because the best in the world weren't there? Was the Chicago marathon a crappy event becuase there were so many slow people who competed?

Thursday morning.....what other sport would do this?
Why is stuff like this not hyped up and run on a Saturday night?

Is the Jake Smith in 22nd the welsh marathoner who got REDs or a different guy?

Bring down the sport? Because I don’t think Olin Hacker is a “stud”? Give me a break. I was at the NCAA meet in person this year, and very much enjoyed it for what it was- significantly better run than the 3 years I ran in it almost 2 decades ago. Note that the NCAA champs was also not billed as a “pro” event…an event today held on an overcast Thursday morning at 8am. Your anger is misguided, big boy.
