Landon Kimmel. Destroyed the field at Troy. Ran the entire race by himself, finishing in 15:05–close to a course record. He’s a sophomore. Watch out folks. This kid is next level talent.

He didnt look all that next level at Berlin when he raced the Central Ohio boys. Gabelman beat him by 20 seconds, Smith by almost 10. And Richuitti didnt run. Kimmel is good, but he's not as good as these guys.

What a negative thing to say. Kid is a sophomore and a phenomenal runner.

Dub Scioto is ranked way below all of them. I see this as a disrespect

Big time disrespect. They keep sleeping on these boys. But they know what they’re doing. Saving the best for last.

I recoil at people hopping on forums to pimp their own runner. It was a pompous post. Yes, he's good. Great even. But if you're going to use the term "next level" to describe your guy, be prepared for a reality check by objective fans who know where he really stands. And he isn't Gabelman or those other guys. Not yet, anyway.

I’m not sure what you mean by “their own runner”. I didn’t use the term “next level” either so you don’t comprehend well. Objective fans would probably say a Sophomore doing what this Tipp kid is doing is pretty impressive.

Interesting to see how things shook out from ranking to actual regional result:

1 --> 3

2--> 5

3 --> 6

4 --> 1

5 --> 2

6 --> 7

Once again, just stating the obvious: we knew that these final results could shake out in any which way. Central Ohio brings the excitement. I feel that all of these teams can finish in the top ten at Obetz.

It's also not surprising that the no. 6 team missed out by one point and the no. 7 team was ten points removed from fourth place.

You didnt read the original post then. Scroll back to read the post by "givetallugot". You can't comprehend what you didn't read, so I won't belittle you. But bro... find the context before you post.

I did read the original post bro, I was pointing out that I wasn’t the one the said “next level”. Keep up.

No one predicted Scioto would beat Kilbourne because no one predicted Miller to not race. Same reason that most people (myself included) didn't see Orange or Liberty beating Coffman because I didn't expect Bolton not to race. Kilbourne is not going to lose to Scioto again as long as they run their full team.
