Robbie Andrews has got to be in Shock right now...

Andrews not making the team was a shock to adidas, that's for sure. Should've heard them at the Sales Meeting.

Andrews not making the team is the greatest crisis this nation has faced sinced the British burned down the Capital during the War of 1812.

Robby ran a 1:45. That would have gotten him 5th in the olympic trials. If he ran his PR he gets 4th. He would have been one of 3 or 4 guys fighting for that last spot.

In the 1500m, he was gambling that either Wheating and Centro were not up to snuff or that Leo had an off race (which has been know to have). Didn't happen.

I believe your comments on the 800 are INCORRECT. Robby stood a great chance of making the 800 team. Look how fast he ran at NYC.

Also, the 800 is a far more predictable event than the 1,500. Shadow Symmonds and you stand a great chance.

Yes, Robby was not a lock to make the 800 team, but playing the percentages the 800 was a much WISER route to go.

Question - would Robby still be at Virginia if Jason Vigilante was still there?

Jason Vigilante and his training madness!!!

Apparently this thread was deleted. Why?

He just didn't have it. He was in perfect position on the last straightaway to make the team, but didn't have his normal kick. On most occasions, he would have have out kicked whetting.
