First, I did not say they were all injured! I said not all healthy. Some have been injured, some may have small nagging injuries and could run, some may have been sick or are sick…..sooooo this race is not worth loosing time or risking anything. Smart!
Second, all the comments about holding them out has to do with Nationals in November, and the dumbest one is the ones about it is normal for top runners to be held out early……not for NC State!!! Here are the facts:
Last year NC State ran their whole top 6 at this meet. Kelsey has run it every season since she was a freshman. Elly Henes was not held out of this race as their #1.
The Pack holds runners out of this race for a reason, and it has been for some of the reasons I listed not the ones some of you listed. History is history. And I’m sure they are not changing philosophy since it got them their first Title last year!
And as for you Semi, you should change your name to Alanis Morissette…..it’s “Ironic” that you say I’m posting because my “favorite” runner is running 🤔….isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?!?!🤔
