While I’d love for Quentin Nauman or Ethan Zuber to qualify, I think you nailed this, at least on paper.
Not sure how either one of you are coming up with this on Grady lenn and Sean fries. Lenn has yet to go sub 15 anywhere and was controlled from the front by putz, Fries has went one sub 15. Zuber and naumen are on paper ahead of them.
Being “controlled from the front” and beaten by 1.7 seconds is O.K. when it’s Manny Putz doing the controlling. Lenn has now gone sub-15.
Clear gap from the 5 qualifiers to the rest, but hell of a race from Canaan Dunham as the top Iowan in 6th. Also, don’t think anyone would have picked Ethan Olds to qualify individually.
Ferebee dropped 2 minutes this year. Her teammate did also. The program is high level for boys and girls. They had a boy finish 7th today. How did 2 girls make this jump when already in a great program?
actually I think they are right. FL Midwest Regional is Nov. 30 so essentially three weeks at this point. and NXN is Dec. 7 so basically four weeks. so thats even worse! that kid is ready to go today. did you hear her interview after the race? very confident and very focused and didnt seem spent at all after running so fast. seemed ready for more. hope she doesnt lose her edge at all. shes clearly in a zone these past few weeks. hope we get to see that again at NXN.
