German Fernandez 5k Big 12 Championships

5k field is weaker? Are you smoking crack? The 5k field is tougher in the Big 12 than any conference in the country. Look at the list.

I'm thinking that field'd make a great band.

I think GF will crack the top 10.

NUMBER 12 WILL WIN THE RACE.

END OF THREAD.

WILL WIN BIG 12'S JOGGING AND WILL WIN NATIONALS. THE END

I'll go with Farrell:

People still talk about German? Who cares...

Obviously you do. Some care to see him do well, others like you care to just be a jerk.

Big 12 does it right now. CU, Texas Tech are in the Mtn Region. A lot of other teams are in the Midwest Region.

Na, I really don't. It's obvious he isn't the same runner from his freshman year of college. I hope that he can be one day but not on May 15th. I just find it funny how many Cali HS kids still worship this guy

Ha ha! You're talking about him and still hoping for him. You = Wrong, Caring > Not Caring, Proven Wrong > Being Right

German will run 13:35 taking out the stadium record dating to 1968! If pushed, he could go sub 13:30.

His 3:44 was something of a red herring, for it means surely now he is in 5k shape strength-wise. As long as he drops everyone before 4600 he'll win it for sure.

The 5k should be almost over.

Apparently German dropped out, is word from the other thread

Could you post a link to the results as well? I am curious to see how the other races played out.

Either this kid has the worst luck of anyone I've seen in awhile ..... or he is D.O.N.E.

Thanks for the link.

So what the hell happened? Did Colby Lowe cause an eight man pileup? That's a lot of DNFs.
