BIAS STANFORD ENTRIES

Salty Denied Entry · 2016-03-29T13:44:23-04:00

If you think I'm jealous and outraged? you are correct! but at the same time I don't care so i'll probably leave this here and never return to the thread again. But maybe I can bring up a small point of what the "Higher Ups" have done with Track and Field. Lets get to it. 10k Accepted Entries: Bryan Fernandez - Oregon - 10k 32:04 (XC) 5k 14:27 Dan Milechman - New Mexico - 10k 30:59 (XC) 5k 14:58 Tanner Anderson - Oregon - 10K 30:39 (XC) William Bertrand - Princeton - 5K 14:54 Tyler Day - NAU - 5k 14:54 Matt Leach - SF - 5k 14:28 Joel Reichow - SDSU - 10k 30:38 5k 14:39 Dan Schubert - OU - 10k 31:17 5k 14:13 Alex Short - SF - 10k 31:36 (XC) 3k 8:15 Michael Sublette - Stanford -10k 30:14 5k 14:27 Michael Williams - WSU -10k 30:24 5k 14:28 Why am I Salty? coming from a small school, we get kicked to the side a lot looked over and not given the same opportunities. Now I didn't list the people who on paper i would beat (TFFRS wise), there would be more if I did that but to make things clear that is not my argument here. These are 11 outliers that some how got into the fastest 10k in the nation. Knowing many other people who have entered who's times eclipse these by almost a lap and failed to get in. It just makes me wonder how do you get into this meet? Apparently times aren't the important thing, but the symbol on your singlet or how many times your coached took the Stanford Staff out to eat. NOW inside the Stanford Invitational Pamphlet it states: ENTRY APPROVAL DOES NOT GUARANTEE ACCEPTANCE. ALL ENTRIES ARE AT THE DISCRETION OF MEET MANAGEMENT. >> and then again ALL ENTRIES ARE AT THE DISCRETION OF MEET MANAGEMENT. So obviously they pick and choose, your times mean very little if your on the bubble. But if your a big school dont worry, Coach will get you in somehow. So after going through the 10k entries, Obviously the majority belong to be there, but at the same time I would really like to see all submitted entries along with their times and see who they didn't want to give a chance at the meet and why. #PostTheList

re: Oop

Being the OP, I'm pretty glad i never used my real name since I too didnt have a great day either. You guys would probably be giving me death threats by now. But bad times are sometimes the results of taking chances and high efforts and you cant take that away.

What Bijan did was awesome and something that should happen more, when you fly across the nation to try to hit a mark its nice to see some people are really wanting to get the mark as well and not there to F#ck around. He put hes name out there and was ready get the job don. I ended up running the 10k 'A' heat at SAN FRAN and got boxed in the first 200..... we walked a 40 sec first 200.

Bijan did nothing wrong and to see the way some LRC responded is so sad, were all here to run fast Bijan made no excuses and was a class act.

re: OP's Final Thoughts

I've been to the Stanford Invite for many years and I feel that the current Stanford staff and meet management is the most cooperative of any and all requests compared to past staffs. If you're good enough and have info to back up your request, they'll help you. It may or may not work out but at least they will answer your e-mail and let know where you stand. Congrats to Stanford on another great meet!

The point is that he did run faster. And got leapfrogged by slower runners at larger programs. The favoritism is blatant.

odkd, he did run faster, you idiot. Faster than guy who got in.

That's the point.

Get it?

re: Oop

Bravo, Bijan!

Faster PB/SB credentials than people in the race, therefore deserved to be in the race. The result is logically immaterial. (Like saying Bolt shouldn't have been at WC because he false-started out.)

Think a bit.

re: OP's Final Thoughts

If BJ were a D1 runner, in 2015 he'd be

#150 in the 5

#85 in the 10

Do the guys w/ these marks get into Stanford? Would we even notice or care? Would they care?

No, you don't get it. He obviously wasn't fast enough to not get rejected. My suggestion still stands - run faster if you want to get accepted. Nowhere did I say run faster than anyone else in particular. Congrats on showing us you can't read.

Get it?
