Everyone knew this was coming from Burns.
Dipped too deep in highschool. I am all for training younger but this kid was training like a college soph when he was 17. He ran pretty solid soph times for a college soph.
Trained not talented
Oregon gets CRUSHED at home

Actually the Oregon women have a good team when they all run. A dangerous team.

Okay, remove all 8th and 7th year seniors then rescore the meet. I believe BYU still wins by a substantial margin.

Byu scores perfect with 1-5, 7, 10.
Birnbaum not within shouting distance of the top 10. Where has Burns gone?
And how do the Ducks have a roster like they do and get whacked like that at their home meet? How long does Jerry get on this?
Birnbaum is off the juice and it shows.

Oregon isn't really focused on cross country they seem more focused on track and field just in general. And yes WTF is Jerry doing. He ruined Archie Noakes college career and caused him to move to Wisconsin after he got injured like a billion times after running 13.52 before starting at oregon

Ok, fine- great. You can probably find 25 other threads on that. This post has to do with why the Ducks are getting destroyed. It was embarrassing.
Breaking: number 22 ranked team gets crushed by number 2 ranked team
A program colloquially known as "Track Town USA" led by a "world renowned" coach getting top tier recruits should not be getting "Top 7nd" at any meet, let alone settling for a #22 national ranking and risk not qualifying for nationals in the third year of a supposed "rebuild."

22:55 is like the second or third fastest 8k ever for a collegiate xc race.
A lot of the BYU runners are also 23-27 years old
Also, it's an early October race, and Jerry is the CEO of delayed gratification

The story is over. Burns 100% has another stressy cooked up by chef jerry himself. The ducks will get crushed at Big Tens and be lucky to make nationals. Yes, Elliot Cook and Simeon Birnbaum will be phenomenal granted they're healthy, but the team falls pretty short after that.
That's sad.

You honestly- with a straight face- can tell me that Birnbaum is happy with where he is today?
While I agree that this year's team doesn't look any better than last year's, Birnbaum only cares about one thing. 3:31.xx
Then he should transfer to Washington.

Course had to be short? Last K for everyone was extremely fast relative to their penultimate 2k. 2:33 for clinger? No way he closed his race in 408 pace
Saw GPS that ranged from 5.09 to 5.11 miles. Lots of turns on that course but amazingly dry this time of year. The lead BYU pack probably ran closer to the 4.97 distance than anyone. They’re going to give OSU a run for their money.
Also, they didn’t have to run a full mile at 4:08 mile pace. Clinger and Corrigan can easily cover the last k in that time. They looked like they hobby jogged a 7k and took off.

Cousin went to High School in Manhattan Beach, CA with Dalia Frias, who was in top 5 HS girl recruits that year 2022?. She regularly beat Sadie Engelhardt in track. Duke must have been her dream academic school, because she bizarrely chose to go there over NC State, Boulder, etc. She didn't do that well, and entered the transfer portal. I believe Sean B who was the HS coach at Newberry Park HS (3 Young and 2 Sahlman brothers) illegally recruited her for UCLA, which is a top academic school in USA, 8% acceptance rate, and 30 min from Man Beach? She announced on Insta UCLA with gear on, but 1-2 days later, announced going to Oregon, a school with a 78% acceptance rate and flop this year. What happened? Not doing well at all at Oregon! Who leaves top academic schools like Duke and UCLA for dud Oregon! Should have just stayed at UCLA

Along those same lines, for a school that likes to tout they are a premier running school, when is the last time they actually won a national title in either XC or T&F?

Follow the money. Duke offered a full ride out of high school, UCLA did not.
Brosnan offered money to Frias, Barnett, and McDonnell to transfer home to UCLA and lead a rebuild there.
Brosnan fired and money disappeared.
Thus the 3 were bailed out and scooped up by Oregon and Uncle Phil.
All 3 apparently still happy and running at Oregon.
