That was 30 years ago. Nobody was freaking trying then. NCAA distance running is in a different stratosphere now

It was much harder 30-40 years ago. Some of the best runners in the world ran cross country in the NCAA. World record holders and Olympic medalists. The UTEP of the early ‘80s would easily win the nationals. WSU had two world record holders. Teams took it very seriously , I have no idea where you got the idea they didn’t. I am not a Pre fan but his race against Nick Rose was epic. There is no excuse to be ignorant with the amount of information available online and many of the meets are on YouTube.

Vin Lanana has been successful wherever he coached: CW Post, Dartmouth, Stanford, and Oregon. I bet sooner rather than later UVA will be good

If you think it's less competitive now, you are on drugs.

re: aztec the moronic

Not sure if Vins effectiveness is dated, but the 2 distance assistants are not good. Unbelievably inexperienced and not dedicated in recruiting. Look how UNC has taken off and UVA has t done anything and Vin has been there longer than Miltenberg.

The jealousy of Lananna is deep.
Vin, keep your head up. We'll see you on the podium shortly.

It’s not jealousy man it’s where the results behind the hype? Stop hyping the old timers and realize the young coach always gets the results. You wouldn’t compare the notre Dame coach or ole miss coach to vin but yet they’re doing much better. Albeit they’ve been where they are longer but fast forward 2-3 years from now and I hope to god vin has turned it around over there.

Vin is a great coach and an even better recruiter. Revisit this thread in two years’ time.
