The pre-nats results did not seem to be representative of the team this year. I wonder whether Magness told them to save it for conference.
Of course, even if they ran their best, UH is a long, long, long way from being even a middle of the road distance program. UH's distance program barely existed prior to Magness. He started with nothing and is slowly building. Recruiting is very difficult with lots of very good Div. I Texas programs. UH has a few good academic programs, but is generally known as "Cougar High" and is a Houston area commuter school. Given the choice between UH and just about any other Div. I school in Texas, most will go elsewhere regardless of the coaching. Rome was not built in a day. But UH will always be limited as a distance program just because the school does not offer anything that you cannot find a better version of at other Div I schools.
Cougar High as in...older women preying on fresh young men??
