Did I say Weiss sucks, or Blood sucks? No! What I did say is that your region overall sucks, and I am sorry but that is just the truth.
To Hoovis, thank you for the laughs wannabe. I bet if you spent 1/8 the amount of time running that you do posting on these boards you might be half decent. Might be!
As for Blood running in the 29's. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA. Please never post on here again. Your ignorance of the sport is great. On the track this year, maybe, but still doubtful.
I Def think blood is a sub 30 guy for 10k and I am sure alot of other people on here an agree, with consistent training and staying healthy very few people in the country can be better then him.

Look, I'm just a freshman at Cheyney. I wasn't very good this year, but I will be. You've now given me the kick in the ass I need to work hard and show you what our conference is made of...a bunch of really tough runners.
It does seem a bit odd to me that you would point out that Blood might be able to run 29's on the track (where it's guaranteed to be a full 10,000 meters) but can't do it on a fast cross course (where the actual distance could be significantly shorter). But, I might be missing something...as I've only started running my senior year in high school when I came to the realization that I wasn't very good at soccer. So, I'll improve. And, hopefully in a couple of years I'll be kicking ass in this supposedly weak conference of mine.
And, although I think most of your insights are pretty off base, I will heed your advice and start spending 1/8 of the time I spend posting on this site running. Going forward, you'll only see me spend 7/8 as much time as I used to posting on letsrun.com. That should give me the extra time/runs I need to get over 50 miles a week and kick your ass next year.
Hoovis

What happened to all of the other posts? There should be about 17 pages. There's only 12 now!
Donald Trump made Rosie Odonnel so mad that she just started eating everything in site, apparently she's a PSAC fan.

ah...I'm not sure what you're getting at, but if your in one of trailers at slippery rock you might get it I guess (meaning you guys are trash,...that's right, I said it.)
Where are all of the other messages on this thread? There were lots more posts than this. First this thread disappears, then it comes back with some of the posts gone?
here is the other thread
Lets get this thread goin' again folks. Indoor conference is a month from now, what are the predictions!
the performance list looks kinda bare in some events
USATF XC Nationals.....
How about James Carney, former Millersville standout, finishing 8th in that race? Beat a ton of notables such as Ed Torres, Ryan Shay, and Abdi. Truly a breakout race for him...hats off to a guy who has stuck with it for years waiting for a race like this. Seems like his kind of course (muddy, tough) and his kind of race.
Also, hats of to former East Stroudsburg (high school) standout Mike Spence (Princeton) who finished 5th.
Hoovis
A nice performance by Carney, but considering he was 6th at 2004 trials in the 10k and made the final of the 5k also, I don't know if it is a big break through effort, he has been on the scene for a while. The race was in his type of conditions no question. I know his ex teammates are proud of his accomplishment. Representing the USA should be a big thrill for a PSAC guy. Hoovis you might know, is he the first PSAC guy to represent the usa since spence?
Yes, I think that Carney has to be the first psac guy to represent the USA since Spence...I was trying to think of somebody who might have done so even as a Master's runner since Spence in Barcelona, but can't think of anyone.
One other note, I saw Aaron Rowe (Boro alum and AA) finish 57th. I'm sure the dude had NO IDEA who was yelling for him in that race...
And, Carney finishing 6th at the OLY trials was great, so I didn't mean to overlook that...as 6th at OLY trials is more impressive than 6th in XC nats.
At the time, I thought Carney's OT 10K performance was the breakthrough he needed to become a consistently top performer. He hasn't necessarily been that (consistent), but it is great to see him back up there.
Interestingly, his finishes (who he beat/didn't beat) were very similar in 04 OT and 07 XC Nats. In 04, he got some help in that race by having BK drop out and by having Ritz barely able to run. But, he did beat Ryan Shay, Ed Torres and Fasil at that race. Yesterday, he beat a "less than in top-fitness" abdi, but got beat by Fasil.
Hoovis
i never met Carney but congratulations to him. it is always great to see PSAC runners and alumni do well. Keep it up Carney!!!

Yeah, I never really came out and said it -- but hats off to Carney. Great race man!
