I really think he will go sub-20. That is a really good time and I hope one day to come close to that level.
13:07-12 depending on so many factors...
13:19.78...won't quite have that bounce this time.
I predict 15:21, that's how fast I ran when I was a state champ this year and I don't think he could beat me.

That's what I'm guessing to. I was going to say 13:11 +/- two seconds.

I love it when Sag and Flag are on the same page.
Why does Ritz's biography state he represented the University of Michigan when he won NCAA XC? Do they think he's Alan Webb or just because he's from Michigan?
13:09 for Ritz, assuming a 13:00 win.

Retract, i think this field will push it at 13:00 pace and it'll be a 12:55ish win so give Ritz another couple seconds and put him at 13:07.

You know what, check that... I'm going to say Ritz busts 13:10.
Could Daba have a big PR tonight?
12:56 AR EAT IT HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U heard it here first.

Un-freakin-believable! The way was mowing down runners the last 800. I think he went from 8th to 2nd the last 2-3 laps. Last 800 must have been 2:00 or under...
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Congratulations, please pick up your Letsrun.com "I'm a soothsayer" singlet at your nearest outlet...

incredible race, unbelievable finish!
I'm stunned. And you have to throw Flagpole some props... I gave the kid like a 1% chance that he'd ever break 13:00, more like a 0.001% chance. Wouldn't I love to see him run a 10k now.
so flagpole has been right all along? ;) awesome run Ritz!
