Aaron Sahlman runs unattached in first indoor meet

Normal conversion, yes. But I’d say it’s less for people living at altitude

ig so but I mean he couldve raced on a b team or something. he's the reigning nxn champ, he must at least be good enough for the nau b team. the fact that he didn't makes me think he may have been doing something more focused on the 8/15, particularly since he ran a .5s 400 pb in his indoor opener. That's a pretty solid improvement once you get to 49.5, and unlikely to come purely from 10k XC fitness imo.

Either way, a 49.5 pb is great for him. I still think he's one of the best US talents ever, particularly after running an 8:01 3k as a 16 year old, but also after the first XC race he ever won was NXN. I know he wanted to run the HS 800 record last year, so ~1:46.5. He messed up his IT band, which sucks, but he looks great now. What are the chances he runs that fast this year? His brother ran 1:46.99 his freshman year; Is Aaron above/below that?

Keep in Mind NAU is at something like 32,000ft Altitude, so a 4:25 is really like a 2:56 or something.

Not trying to press the issue but I am 41 years old now and my glory days have turned into jamming out too music and doing the stair master but back in college my 10,000m pace was faster than that.

Hey there kingrey. I see you aren’t dropping some hard racism statements on Kenyan athletes in the NCAA or hating on OSU, in fact you’re knob sobbing over some 18 year old guy at NAU…makes sense why you left all of those racist comments back in November.

How is Spokane treating you? Or were you only there to film June Eastwood?

Where's the guy who was bashing Lex and Leo for what was it, a 4:06 and 4:07?

These guys have been at altitude for quite awhile especially Colin, 9 seconds is absurdly liberal on any conversion.

But they have also been home in CA since mid December - most of the team just arrived back at campus - altitude days ago. So now need to re acclimate

geez, dude, stop being so critical. It was the Axe 'Em Open, not a Diamond League Meet. it's nothing more than a glorified practice.

do you get upset when a starting quarterback is pulled after one series in a preseason game?

Hello OSU friends! I’ve missed you. Concerned you’re still stuck on comments from November lol. Glad I made an impression haha. How’s the weather in Oklahoma? Greetings from Spokane 😂😂😂

No one criticized anyone or anything, you dweeb. The mile conversion is way too liberal to begin with, many agree with me. Plus for acclimated guys it would never be 9+ secs. That's not an opiniion, its a fact.

I'm patiently waiting for the oblivious fool to present himself and say, "I wonder if the Sahlman's could break 12.5 in the 100m". They are speed guys, but not sprinters.

Aaron should go DIII stat.

It's at altitude, broseph.
