Don't count out Conner Burns!
Connor Burns will finish 7th. L&L get separated in the middle of the race as they arent used to the competition which causes them to falter around 2.5 mile mark. Gorze leads most the race but finishes 3rd. Devan Kipyego finishes 2nd.
Can’t count out GORZE
Rocky Hanson too if he is invited and accepts the bid
Is extra attention being directed at this young man? His track times are not exceptional, are they? Is cross country his forte? Curious why you think he is going to finish higher than the NPark guys, that have faster track times?
Yeah, his NXN regional win was tied for the best effort of the season according to TullyRunners. Right now I think most people have one of the Young brothers as the winner, with maybe a 30% chance Jones, Burns, or Gorze win. Jones specifically outkicked a Burns, a 3:58/8:45 guy, so he looks to be the best non-Young kid.
Thanks for the info, but only ‘one’ of the Young’s? They are pretty evenly matched, within seconds of each other.
Only one person can win the race…
They will win the team championship though so technically both are coming home with a title.
Jones has run 1:52 and 51 open, so he's got wheels. It shouldn't surprise anyone that he can kick.
The Young twins are now aware of that, so they will probably leave something for the late stage of the race, unlike going for a course record which they might have been doing today.
L&L definitely won't want a 1:51/51 guy near them at the end. The 1:51/51 guy also might not want a 1:48 guy near him at the end. I think the pace will be hot.
If anyone is going to take down the Young twins it’s this kid. He’s been racing lights out this season and just threw it down at Champs MW regional today beating the field by ten seconds. It’ll be a close, tough race but anything can happen.
Also speaks to how you don’t have to race only selective races this season because “it is better to do more workouts than races to become faster.” Hunter Jones has raced almost every week this season and has won all of them convincingly!
I’m officially jumping on the Hunter Jones bandwagon
Leo’s race from yesterday changes everything
How will the NP guys race now? Before, they probably had the confidence that they could all three go to the front and just pick it up in the last km to get rid of everybody.
Now they may second guess that strategy. However, if they still try that, they may simply end up being the rabbits for Jones, Burns and Gorze.
They don’t know how to race any other way. Not sure that it’s smart to try something for the first time at NXN? That rarely works…
Catch 22
Jones wins…
