Burns reminds me of AJ Acosta but somehow more irritating. High level of arrogance for such a low ceiling.
I think he’s got a good ceiling time wise. I could see him running 7:29/12:55 at some point. His issue is he doesn’t shift gears well, but also I don’t think has the aerobic talent to be a high level marathoner. Sort of like a Cooper Teare 2.0
So funny how this website is cool of old folks who get mad about athletes being vocal. Its just a sport about who's the fastest. No one needs to act a certain way in interviews or social media. Actually makes the sport more entertaining. Let simeon wear the shades and let connor talk his trash. Tayvon is a great runner but hes just another boring clean cut innocent byu kid. Langon, green, hocker, connor, simeon, teare.... let them cook
Ill admit teare is kinda annoying lol
Nah.
Here’s what the current crop doesn’t get. There’s a difference between being “vocal” and interesting, and simply being whiny, an jerk, and annoying. These are characteristics of some of the runners getting attention now.
I guess this brings them attention, but they can’t really get upset when people criticize them, lol.
You also point out Hocker and Teare. Nobody thinks they’re douches. They’re not. They are funny and somewhat vocal. These current guys just look stupid. They will talk a huge game, then get rocked in any big meet and will just day “I was sick.” No one’s rooting for you bro
He commented under the Runnerspace post on Instagram saying something like “softest DQ of all time get these geriatric legally blind officials out of the sport.” Looks like he’s just as arrogant as he’s always been. Get humbled loser. Grow up.

I know this little boy thinks his comments now are edgy and funny, but in a couple years he’s going to look back on these and realize how stupid / childish he sounds. I hope this moment comes sooner rather than later, for his own sake.
Right? It is so cringey.
Who do you think would put on his precious track meets without volunteers, most of whom are middle-aged if not retired?
Most youth sports basically function on a charity model, and for niche sports like track this continues into college (much unlike the money-making sports that subsidize guys like this).
This little twerp should be grateful that the volunteer work of others allows for the events where he can do his hobby for a few more years.

DQ him from the rest of the meet for that.
Can someone link to this, I looked a bit and didn't see it.

Stop. He’s not running 12:55. He’s way too arrogant for someone that just finished 177th at ncaa cross in his home state. If that kind of finish doesn’t humble a guy, then I wouldn’t plan on that happening either.
