Why you so mad bro? Just another point of view.

Baxter is without a doubt in sub 10 shape. She has literally run every race this season completely by herself including the 10:06 PR. Don't forget that Cains 9:38 was completely paced by pro runners the entire race ( I'm not comparing the two performances as Cains was clearly better)
Baxter plans to hold back until the state meet and really go for it there. While I love how conservatively Baxter has been handled so far, I think its time for her parents to let het do some post season track and give her some competition that will push her to a fast time. You can't expect to have great Track PR if everything is a solo effort. Nevertheless, I predict 9:55 at the state meet.
At the end of the day though, Cross Country is Baxter's game. Track is Cain's.
You are the biggest tool on lets run "pac 12" fan.
Baxter does not appear to be an AlSal type athlete, as a start, he is only interested in athletes who are totally focused on running fast.
Even though Oregon MAY have better track credentials than most D1 schools, they have died out over the years and will continue. Jordan has only improved her 1500 meter (and maybe others) by 5 seconds or so since high school. 5 seconds may be a big PR, but in a span of 5 years, means that Oregon does not do a very good job IMPROVING their athletes. So if Baxter wants a REAL college, (not a phony, no-care crap kind of school), then I would recommend Colorado, Cal Poly(Hollander as a teammate), Arizona, or maybe even faraway Michigan(with Erin Finn, and many other MI stars, joining the McGuire legacy). Cain will die out in a few years when Baxter will be producing new 5k/10k world records.

So Jordan is the only person on the Oregon team? No one else improved?
Yeah Oregon has really died out in recent years lol 4 straight National Championship indoor 4 straight NCAA runner ups outdoors and soon to be a National Championship this year outdoors for the Women of Oregon. The Ducks will win the triple crown this year with National Championship in Cross,indoor and outdoor not to shabby if you ask me.
Why not Oregon? Maybe because she wants a degree worth more than toilet paper.
No. She has a 3.15 GPA. And people think she's real good academically.
