Hehehe...

17 young fit (and probably horny) college coeds - and he said "VIRGIN" territory. I guess "uncharted waters" would have been too much. And where were the young studs, er...young men of the men's XC team?

MY GOODNESS!!!! Should Rojo intervene????

When they discover altitude was beneficial? That's about the time they started taking them.

There is no definitive proof that altitude is beneficial; it is the greatest myth of all time. A placebo; a sugar pill.

The only reason altitude got any credence was the Mexico City Olympics.

Altitude does not benefit your racing at sea level, but it does benefit your racing at altitude.

NAU and Colorado recruit the best runners they can find, not just the local kids.

Why doesn't Flagstaff HS dominate Footlocker? Hell, do they ever qualify for NXN?

Probably alot. Throw in an assitant coach and trainer / massage guy, Maybe a chief , who knows.

I would say low end 13 - 14 K total and high end 15 - 17 K for 3 weeks ...

You don't think 'chief' is pushing it a little? They prefer to me called 'persons of native American ancestry'. Or simply Native Americans. I mean, what if I had mentioned they're bringing a few squaws and braves?

40 years ago 5 or 6 from our college team rented rooms and worked dumb jobs in Boulder to train for the summer.

My goodness! Is this legal? What should Rojo do about it?

I'm picturing Rojo wearing a Victorian dress fanning himself as he clutches his pearls "My goodness..."
