I have always liked the orange Barney. Wonder what Sid's take on this pointless discussion would be? Not sure where all your hostility comes from...maybe you need to up your mileage? Maybe your hubby would care to offer some insight, being a steepler and all (thought he was more a 800-1500 guy though) Mom's calling so gotta run but another thing we disagree on (among many I'm sure) is that I have never seen top runners (or mere mortal like me for that matter) "shuffling"!

You got it all figured out. I don't know for absolutely sure, but I will bet my small fortune that you are a shuffler - perhaps you once needed to UP your mileage so that you might have accomplished something and then your bitterness would be much more condensed. Sid would not spend much time discussing your petty and victim-inflicted views about what people write on message board, he had real athletes to tend to and let the shufflers manage themselves.

You have called Brian Ollinger an average athlete, insulted legal blond and now referred to Sid Sink as a orange Barney and now somehow the rest of the world has an attitude problem?
Dude, sounds to me like you are some mediocre runner with an axe to grind.
Haas took the 5k over eagon? in around 14 flat. Withrow was 5th or so about 10 seconds back.

My take from the booth; terrific run for Olinger!
Had Hoerr's dad help me w/his son's last name after I got it wrong for 2/3 of the race...it's pronounced 'hair'. Fine run for Trent too.
Dip Shit Detector, first can you read? Never called B.O an average athlete...never refered to Sid as an orange Barney, if you must know, Legally Blonde suggested I take some Flintstones but you would't be privy to that since she e-mailed me. Not sure I know too many people who use the term "dude" anymore but you seem to be a piece of work.
naw, a bunch of people still use "dude". wake up!
Wow, A+ for maturity!
Conjecture, plain and simple, is what your argument consists of. The fact of the matter is, until Olinger runs comparable flat 3k or 5k marks, it is only fair to conclude that Solinsky would be the better runner. Did Olinger not run indoor track this year? Wait, he got beat by Chris in the 5k by like 8 seconds, didn't he? Does that season not count? What about XC last fall? 40 seconds behind in a 10k, that sound about right?
8:19 is phenomenal, but yet, to say it is far and above anything Solinsky has done is misleading. To put it in perspective, Isiah Festa, the former Badger, ran 8:20 at the 2004 US Olympic Trials... does that mean that Festa, too, is better than Chris in 3k and above? You see why that type of reasoning is irrational?
This is all so stupid, because I'm huge fans of both Chris and Brian... I just take exception to the claim that Olinger is better than Solinsky, 3k and above. Unfounded and irrational, plain and simple.
Olinger ran 8:19 LAST summer. So far this year, he has only timed 8:45 (Penn Relays/Big 10's). I would not even pick him as the favorite for the NCAA Championship.
i slapped around this olinger kid around when he was just an upstart in high school. ha. you could tell he'd be good then. he was an arrogant runner. not an arrogant person, of course, but an arrogant runner.
i remember he sat on me for 2 miles assuming he'd be able to outkick me. i was amused by this. at the time, i was just stronger than him, so his plan didnt quite work. i dragged him to a big pr, if my facts are straight.
needless to say, things have changed just a bit :)
good luck to the man though. he's got the be a favorite for ncaas and in the hunt come us nationals. gary wouldnt be running him in a 10k right now if he were anywhere near peak shape
I presume he is probably in faster shape than 8:45 right now since he did run 8:45 less than 24 hours after running a pretty quick 10k.
june 8th----BAIRU will win 10000meter NCAA

the only change of plan was Brian Olinger completely dominated Bairu and his Wisconsin teammates. Wins easily in 28:44 and his coach was yelling at him to relax the last 800!
why did his coach tell him to slow down? to save some energy for regionals? is his time automatically qualifying for nationals?
if it was me, i would have gone for the record, but i'll trust his coach on this one
WELL IF THIS TREND WAS STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO YOU ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE..SIMON IS GONNA WIN THE 10K FOR SURE THERE IS NO WAY THAT OLINGER CAN BEAT HIM..JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE BEATS YOU IN CROSS COUNTRY OR LAST SEASON OR EVEN INDOOR DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN'T EVER BEAT THEM OR BE AS GOOD. I'M PRETTY SURE SIMON DID ALOT BETTER THAN OLINGER AT XC NATS BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS THAT DIDN'T MATTER TO MUCH THE PAST WEEKEND DID IT??
Oh my God: Stop with the caps lock. No one can read your craptastic post like that. If you are mad, use mad words instead of large letters.
EASY ANSWER...NO..THEN DON'T READ IT I DONT' CARE
