As I said yesterday, the conditions here are ATROCIOUS for distance/mid distance: 90 degrees (and hotter on the track) and 20 mph wind gusts. You might as well hold an invitational mile in Death Valley. Today's distance results mean nothing. Mt. Sac 1500 at 7:30PM Friday evening will be better.

That ain't shit. Just wait until it hits 107.

You see this with so many guys who are fine first year in because they have a lot of carryover from HS but then it begins to show - injuries and crap races.
Can you give some examples of runners that have experienced this? I can only think of Ritz switching to Salazar, but that's not a HS to College transition.
Your point does make sense if the coach is truly awful/not a good fit, but I can't think of any other examples.
According to runworks calculator, 4:17.71 is about 4:05.9 at 60F, so times were about 12 seconds slower than typical effort but German still ran a bad race imo.

Welp.
What other hopes are there still that we can root for in the 15? Andrews? Batty?
Um...ever heard of LEONEL MANZANO?
He got his shoe stepped on again.

Kind of hard to sprint with your heel flopping around.
