NCAA entrants are here!

yeah, think there is a real chance he can pull of the double. If he only wins one i think it will be the 5, coz cheseret will be fresh in the 3.

I know lots of people have probably asked this but does Simon Bairu not run indoors, injured, focusing on world cross or what.

Apparently Bairu doesn't like running indoors because of the greater risk of injury and he's focusing on the outdoor 5k

Guess Matt Withrow doesn't like indoors either, as he has redshirted the last two?

Anyone think Kiplagat can excel at the post-collegiate level? What do you think he could run if he got in a fast 3K or 5K in Europe?

After Nationals Cross I thought he was going to run 7.40, 13.10 and 27.40 this summer in Europe.

But while I think he can win both races at Nationals this weekend, probably win at least the 5 outdoors, there is no way he is going to still be in shape to run this summer.

I think he has raced almost every weekend.

So say he goes to Stanford or Mt Sac, although I dont think Iona traditionally go to those meets, I think he could run a 13.20-13.25.

You must be joking. Note how many people are in the field. 15 this year, 15 last year. Who could he have cut off of last year's list?

No kidding, not only is he stupid, but unwilling to admit he was wrong. There's no one cut off hte list, that's who they took last year, all 15 of them. Look at the results, I beleive there were 14 finishers, Nick Willis dnf'd. Also, Withrow did not redshirt indoors twice, that's impossible, he just isn't using his eligibility.

I saw Withrow run 14:38 at a shitty ass UW-Milwwaukee meet. It looked like he was actually working pretty hard during the middle mile, so there must be something going on there. I was told he was doing it to qualify for Big Tens, but then he didn't run Big Tens. So he might be injured or sick.

any more predictions?

Bairu ran about a mile of the 5k at Alex Wilson, going through in high 4:20's. He then dropped out. He didn't look good at all.
