Who was your vote for best Frosh at PreNats?
The one who ran the fastest
Rupp has freshman eligibility for XC right?
no, he has soph for some reason according to the web site. Ken Cormier is by far the best TRUE freshman in the ncaa right now! God, he took 15th at the chilli pepper, 13 of those guys ahead of him were african, only 1 white guy beat him and it was his teammate.
That's a good call on Cormier. I didn't think he would make such a jump in college, coming in with 100-mile/week experience in high school. He must really have it together to be able to handle so much so young.
maybe hes just pulling a jason sandfort. sandfort came in running really well as a frosh, ran a ton in hs, and faded off year by year in college.
Barnacle beat him by alot in earlier races. I dont think he has run in awhile though.
in fairness, sandfort is the only hog EVER to be a four time xc AA, so to say he faded isnt exctly fair, did he live up to the promise of a guy who got 5th in the ncaa indoor behind some olympians? no, but the stat above is damn impressive when you look at who went to ark
Jordan McNamara, 34th in the white race. True frosh, had an ok year last year, but didn't do nearly what he could've. He's coming out now and showing his true colors. Who was the next true freshman???
Andy (?) from Virgina ran 24:33, I know he is a freshman from a high school in Florida.

yea, andy bildeau (sp).
he really adapted well to the added 2k distance of 8k. He's a beast.
Lopez Lomong - NAU - redshirt frosh, was a footlocker finalist in 2003. Not a tru freshman but still a frosh.
Cormier was sick in the only race that I believe they both ran, the one at VCP. However. perhaps they both ran OSU. If they did, I am unsure of the outcome. Regardless, they are both solid freshman runners. My vote might go to Jordan McDougal or one of these two guys.
doesn't cormier look like teddy mitchell? i wonder if he acts like him?
Cormier looks like Don from Napolean Dynamite.
Jeremy Criscione from Florida has made some wicked improvement over the course of a year. 11th at FL South last year, to 24:20 8k is damn impressive.
Josh McDougal's little brother laid an egg at Pre-Nats(25 flat); but he's strong. Not the best freshman out there; but probably top 10.
Andrew Bumbalough is the best Freshman this year, wait and see!! He doesnt even have to run to be the best....
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
