His 2025 track races. and I don't care how much better of a "road" runner (if someone is very strong) someone is than track - running a 3:53 1500 for a 59 minute half guy, who ran 22:01 for 8k xc earlier, screams to me "off the dope". and then the big 12 results.

He's back in XC where he placed 1-3 in every race

re: rojo

4 years of eligibility between your 18th and 24th birthdays. Eligibility ends on your 24th birthday.

No additional redshirting, no medical redshirts, no pandemic re-dos, no give-us-your-poor-and-tired-and fast 30 year olds.

2 international students per team.

That's a good idea unless they just say no scholarships for foreign athletes. Let their agents pay for it.
