Not a good one either, but yes glad he's back. Manny Putz was 70 seconds infront of him, but still behind Minnesota freshman redshirt from the Wayzata dynasty Will Weber. Weber has a lot of upside, will be someone to keep an eye on if he stays healthy
This wasn't his first race back. He ran in NAU's home meet Labor Day weekend, and he ran at the Gans Creek Classic.
I asked AI to do an analysis of the runners he ran against at both Gans Creek and in today's race, to see how much progress he's showing relative to others. Unfortunately, it's not looking good for him (yet). Here's the list, in order of those who slowed down the least between Gans Creek and Nuttycombe to those who slowed down the most.
Yeah, I'm not sure if this is a good or bad start to a college career for Manny Putz. I had high hopes for Putz.
I'm not too high on Putz, odd body composition. Hoping he succeeds, but I think Juan Gonzalez will have a better career. I'm intrigued to see where Grady Lenn ends up as well, I probably missed where he committed
21.9 and sub 29. decent range. not sure what this has to do with aaron though
Sorry I guess what I was suggesting is that Aaron should try and focus on shorter events. I think indoors he should focus on 400 to 800. I think more speed less high volume. It seems Aaron and his brother are similar to how I was in the sense they are gifted with natural speed. I think Aaron can be a 1:45 guy this season.
Hope nothing but a fantastic return for him. I hope he is ma

The average slowdown from Gans Creek to Nuttycombe for the other runners was 46.7 seconds, and the median was 45. Sahlman's slowdown was 67 seconds.
This is very close to what I came up with off the top of my head, Nuttycombe is 40 seconds slower than Gans Creek. What was the average for all runners competing in both races? (Except for Excel formulas I’m still AI free)
My Sophomore year of college like Aaron I was coming off injuries. My best 8k XC time was 26:02 my average was 26:50. My average race finish was 24th.
On The Track:
400m: 52.05
800m: 1:58.63
1,000m: 2:33.93
1,500: 3:57.53
Mile: 4:12.21
3,000m: 8:36.89
5,000m: 14:39.90
10,000m: 30:00.09
Steeplechase: 9:10.49
The following Season.
My Junior year of college. I was pretty much back to health. My best 8k XC time 24:27 my average was 24:43. My average race finish was 5th
On The Track:
200m: 21.99
400m: 47.97
500m: 1:02.43
800m: 1:46.96
1,000m: 2:22.05
1,500m: 3:41.57
Mile: 4:00.01
3,000m: 8:00.08
5,000m: 14:04.35
10,000m: 28:57.25
Steeplechase: 8:59.01
400hh: 52.05
The numbers seem a bit contrived. Sub-somethings 21:99, 47:97, 1:46:96, 28:57, 8:59.01 NIce!! So close-somethings: 30:00.09, 4:00.01, 8:00.08, 52.05 Ouch!! Also numerical aesthetics: repetition of numbers 2:33.93, 2:22.05, 52.05, 01 x 2 and sequences :12.21, .2.43, 4.35, 46.96,47.97...Coincidence or what came to mind?
