Last year, Liam Boylan-Pett ran 1:48.28. Erison Hurtault was 3rd in the 400m at 45.40. Two years ago, Caroline Bierbaum won the Honda Award. They won Penn last year and were 3rd this year. You are an idiot and most likely just another Ivy coach or athlete posting on here. Say what you want, but no way you can bust on these dudes. Did you see their last 150m. These dudes are not over-hyped nor do they suck. They already have 3 individual NCAA regional qualfiers in the 800m and Mike Mark will qualify soon enough. In addition, they have two other dudes who have run 1:51. It is impressive what is going on there. How many other teams in the NCAA can make that claim. To disoc*** it just show your jealousy. CU is getting it done and Wood is a great mid-d coach. Seriously, why not just give them their due-props.
Pett was a 1:54 type in HS, ran more 1600's than 800's though! Big improvement
The CEO of Lehman Brothers went to the University of Colorado:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_S._Fuld%2C_Jr.Looks like you CAN have the best of both worlds.Though your odds are better if you go to an Ivy.

When are you going to see some track stud from Oral Roberts or an SEC school get a 6 figure i-banking job out of college? Never.
That's why the ivies rock, you can do your think for 4 years, run around 1:50 or under, then move on to better things like rolling in dough, poppin bottles, and slamming models.
Pett ran like 1:51 as a junior you dink.
Boylan-Pett sure enough ran 1:51.50 for 4th at the Adidas Outdoor Championships as a junior in 2003.
If that list of high school 800 times for the Texas guys doesn't label them as incredible recruits as is, get a load of their 1,600/mile times. Darren Brown had already run 4:03.19 for the mile as a sophomore at Providence before coming to UT, Erik Stanley ran 4:03.77 for 1,600 as a junior in high school (finshing second in his District (!!!) behind Steve Magness, who ran 4:01.58), Manzano ran 4:06.29 for 1,600 as a hs junior to set a Texas Relays record, Miller ran 4:09.04 for 1,600 in hs (although 1:50.26 is probably more impressive), Rhodes-Devey ran a 4:09.92 hs mile and Hernandez had run 1:47.96 while at TCU. Compared to the pre-UT accomplishments of those guys, Jake Morse, who would be a prize catch in the Ivy League, seems like one of the "slow" signees for Texas with a 4:11.47 mile, slightly better than Boylan-Pett (4:10.89 1,600). College sports really are mostly about recruiting, recruiting, recruiting.
