! ! ! ! 2009 DII Cross Country ! ! ! !

You are mistaken. Last time the race was here. A guy by the name of Peter Kosgei who transferred to Arkansas took it out like a mad man and was ahead by almost 20 seconds at 3 miles and proceeded to die.

As far as my other comment. I should have written that the reason Braun beat him was because he went out with Bauhs and couldn't run with him therefore he died and Braun beat him. My bad. He was obviously not able to beat Bauhs last year and I did not mean to make it sound like I thought he could have.

Yeah, I remember now. Nicodemus went with Kosgei for about 1/2 a mile and the ACU coach had to scream at him to slow down and let Kosgei go. They went out pretty damn fast.

For the record, in regards to braun's 13:36 5k and Kirwa's 28:36.

Kirwa's 28:36 is equivelant to a 5k is 13:35

Check it yourself.

Just thought I should throw that out there since everyone is praising brauns 13:36 and meds 13:40 for the title when the course is 10k and braun is a 1500, 5k runner.

share some

Predictions

1. Kirwa

2. Braun, my nickname is the Birdman cuz ma parents was owls. However, I use a Braun electric shaver

3. Cheseto?

.....

kirwa ran his 10k pr about 1.5 years ago. last year he ran no where near that fast. and braun is not a miler, he is a 10k 5k guy, as seen by his fast 5k and great cross races (which are 10k) the last two years

just because cheseto or sang won their regions doesnt make them = to braun, medigovich or kirwa. people not from the central region or rmac just dont have a clue about how good adams and western are. the top three adams guys dropped the 5th guy at nationals last year (donnan) at regionals

Just cuz Donnan got 5th last year doesnt mean he is in that shape this year. Just because Braun got 2nd doesnt mean he is in that shape this year. Just because Kirwa wasnt in 28:36 shape last (cuz he overcoming illness) doesnt mean he is not this year.

Maybe Braun can run a good 10k but from what he races his best times are in the 1500 and 5k. Meaning hes is a 1500 5k runner. Those are where is nat titles are. Silly goose.

Kirwa will go the Harding Kenyan route... Come in fast, get slower each season. Kirwa has not had much pressure this season, so he will crack at Nats.

I agree with the comment about no competition. They need to go to some bigger meets to let their guys run with some of the faster. There is chile pepper and the cowboy jamboree nearby that would be easy for them to go to.

anybody have photos or video of the course, or want to provide info on it?

Raced on it back in 2004. Pretty challenging course, mostly all undulating and on grass, goes through a couple of forested areas with some very steep downhills--very challenging if it is muddy, several people ate because of the fact it was so slippery. It'll be a pretty true XC course if it is dry, and very tough if it has been raining, and much more so if it's snowy.

watch at 2:47 it's Braun from Adams State, i found him

The course starts with a pretty flat first mile. You then fly down a huge hill just to come back up a hill that is about the same size as the one you went up. You do two loops on this back loop that has rolling hill. You then come back up the hill you went down to get off of the flat area at the beginning of the race. My advice get position early (it is fairly hard to pass) but don't kill yourself or you will suffer later. You can pass on the back section if people went out stupid. If it is muddy. Good luck it will be nasty.

This didnt make a lot of sense

You need it in bullet points?
