That is impressive. Probably equal to Decker.

Dowling Catholic had Paulsen and Tice back. Indianola beat them
Merrick ranked #1
4A rankings should be 1. Merrick 2. Decker 3. Johnson, followed by Buckheister/Crossland/Willey/Gutema at 4 through 7 in some order (they’re too close to call at this point). Seems like that should be the clear top 7, with a bit of a gap on the rest of the field.
Gutema ran a more impressive race than Merrick.
Gutema has to be the favorite. We now have at least 5 guys capable of qualifying.for nationals.
For reference, Gutema ran 14:30 on the NXR course. The winner at the same meet last year was Juan Gonzales who ran 14:34 and went on to win NXR also in 14:34. The course record prior to last weekend was 14:32 by Robert Mechura. I checked a few Strava uploads of the race to see if they measured it short, but they were all 3.11/3.12
Wow. Was he injured during track?
Are you sure they measured accurate for the race Gutema ran? I looked at a couple, and I was seeing like 2.89.
I found about 10 guys from his race. They averaged 3.14. You must have looked at a warmup.

Just to clarify, the location was the same as the NXR course but the course was set up quite a bit differently.
Yes. The NXR course runs short while this one ran long.

Please stop posting to this thread, you don’t know red from green let alone the difference between penne and fettuccine. Your incompetence is embarrassing.
You are free to look at strava from this meet and from NXR. But I know that you won't. For your education, this meet ran about 3.14 while NXR runs about 3.09. I have been to NXR about 15 times and I have been to NXN. How many times have you been there?
