who will turn in the next great/shocking american male distance performance?

My crystal ball doesn't see everything for all runners, but when it does see, it is right 100% of the time. I saw this with Ritz and called it years before he did it and so it therefore was not a surprise to me.

Damn straight I called it LONG before he did it brother! When he ran 13:27 as a college freshman, I KNEW then that he would one day hold the AR in the 5,000. I could not have been less shocked. It was simply a matter of time for him.

So what about Fernandez and Derrick? Didn't they run right around there as college freshman? So are they both going sub-13 and breaking the AR?

Hey Flagpole, aren't you documented on here as saying Webb will never beat Ritz in a 10000 if they raced? How'd your crystal ball work there, toolshed?

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

YES.

Correct response.

I'm still shocked that Solinsky ran a 12:59 in the 10k. Why didn't I hear about this before?

Shows what you know...I didn't USE my crystal ball for that one!

Flanagan seems to be peaking in a good way and looks very racy -

Racy huh? Did Shalane put out a swimsuit calender or something? Or were her bunhuggers too risque for you?

I'm thinking Patrick Smyth in the NYC Half - guy has put up some good numbers and is improving. Could even make the Olympic marathon team.

Mo Trafeh. AR in the marathon in London.
