Ivy League Mid Distance/XC recruting classes???

Steve Sundell did this because Fargo South High School graduates are amazing runners.

What six guys would they be and what "other 3" different guys from Outdoors?I see 3 guys who scratched right at 4:13.00 or slightly lower,indoors.

Listen, i'm not trying to artificially inflate the guys on my team. But you're right - it was 5 guys not six.

The 5 guys are:

1) bruce hyde - he ran 3:42 indoors. He wasn't on the cornell team but he'll be back for 2 more years and i was coaching him.

2) Oliver Tassinari - ran 3:48 this year. Heps scorer, 2nd ic4a indoor mile

3) Sam Mackenzie - 3:50 and heps finalist.

4) ALdo gonzalez - he ran 3:52 early outdoors and 149.

5) ed palermo - ran 413 indoors.

others who had a shot at it:

Emory Mort and Aaron Arlinghaus - they ran sub 9 in the steeple and 302 for 1200 in practice so i think it's not unreasonable to think if i raced them in the mile more often they'd run in the 412-3 range.

Ross Mcgowan - his pb was 356 but at the end of the season he ran exclusively 800s and ran 152.9 in the 800. could he have run 354 in perfect conditions? it seems doable.

i had a freshmen run 228 early indoors in the 1k but he got hurt. had he been healthy, who knows.

Who was your friend that scored on the Heps championship team at CU?

As I recall, the scorers were: Clas, Cunningham, Franks, Shields, Sacco, Phillips, and Anstrom. NONE of those 7 were multi-year walkons. And who are you? We were probably in school at the same time...
