Official 2015-16 D3 Track Thread

Mitch Black should run the 1500. I think he would do super. I would really like him to run the 1500. I'm sure he would have enough steam left to win the 800 after two prelims and a final. I think it would be really good for him to do that. Gotta ward off heart disease and get a good workout!

Yeaahhhh, dude? Mitchell Black would destroy Donson in a 1500, the kid has no shot.

WIAC heat sheets are up...

UW Eau Claire's Darin Lau and Josh Thorson are not listed?

Both raced last weekend in the 10k at the Gina relays, both ran solid there...so what gives? Did they get hurt? Sick?

maybe because their coach doesn't want to burn them out by racing them the week after a hard 10k. They'll be ready to go in Iowa.

Bijan ran a 10k/5k double the week after his 10k qualifier - that's idiotic beyond belief.

Seems odd to skip conference, it's not like they're skipping out on a little duel meet.

Turns out, he's just a hunk.

I believe EC did something similar last year. EC would rather be sharp at nats than worry about whether they can keep LaCrosse from winning their 27th straight men's conference title.

Oh you must not have heard...it was tragic. Very sad what happened.

What happened?

Doesn't matter. You don't see Cheserek or ANY D1 guy skipping conference. None. Who do they think they are? Just ignorant in my opinion.

I heard a rumor that Thorson is going D1 to finish up his college eligibility anyway, so yeah doesn't matter.

Ease up, dude! Why do you care what they do?

I say the WIAC kicks out Stout and River Falls. Then it'd be a full man conference.

I bet the University of Minnesota would be super interested in a kid as talented as he. Imagine the points he could put up at the Macalester Twilight Meet and Carleton Relays!

Operator: "911, what's your emergency?"

Me: I have reports of shots fired on LetsRun. Joshua Thorson was hit and is wounded.

Operator: "Well good thing he's not running conference!"

Eau Claire does this every year. Thomas Breitbach, Aaron Easker, and Ryan Mugan all skipped the WIAC meet after racing the 10K at Hillsdale the week before. You'd think they'd start going to an earlier meet to run their 10K rather than constantly having this problem.

Except that in the 10k, and particularly in the midwest, it's often difficult to find a hot race. Gina consistently produces good competition and fast times, so why settle for a shittier race?
