Stanford Invite Results

I was at the race. I think Ryan Hall did okay, but I think he may have made a mistake taking the lead when the rabbit (pierce of stanford) dropped out. In the end he just flat got out kicked. Hall looked very comfortable running 67-68 laps. Rupp was never a factor (in the second pack for a large segment of the race) and Goucher looked very pained throughout.

Well, at least this year no one will be claiming that Stnford has a 380m track.

what are the results for the first section in the womens 10k the like isn't working!!!

nevermind, its here, tex showed me:

just got back from watching the race...Hall looked like he was jogging the whole time, even if he got outkicked. I say he goes way faster if all out.

Rupp looked like he was trying even less...was standing by presumably his coach(or the guy telling him splits/what to do...looked like Salazar) who kept telling him/goucher to slow down and 69/70's were good enough. At one point the coach flat out said "drop back and help Adam out", so I'm guessing he wasn't really going for it. Still not a bad run though.

Weather/conditions were perfect, as already noted.

Good run for Hartmann and Torres.

weirdness.

That race was awesome. I watched it from the beginning to the end. Congrats to Naimadu. You proved that you had a good Kick, just like what you did at DII Indoor Nat'al in 5k. When you look at each time lap when he took the lead about 8 laps to, he dropped by a second{ before they were crssing at 67 seconds, but the next 5 laps he was leading he was ruuning 68.But Nway, that was a really Good race for him.

Can any other DII runner run such time? I dought.Scott run 28:50's. great job to.

I was told Hall and Hartman led most of this race.

If the field was allowed a limited # of competitors (and not limited by qualifying time) then I'd be p!ssed having Rupp go through the motions, if turned down.

Who's coaching those guys? Oh I forgot.

Good job Hudson. You kept them exactly where they've always been. You're a GREAT!!! coach.

Sean Quigley La Salle 28:29.16

This kid has been running incredible, (15th in cross. 7th in indoor) and he still has another year of eligibility.

Micah f***ing VanDenend!

From watching the Flocast, you'd never know he existed, though, quietly placing 7th and busting 13:49. Solid race.

Hartman ran a 16 second PR and Carney ran a 6 second PR...in March...in a world championship year. If they were running faster, you'd say that Hudson was peaking them too soon.

I might be wrong but my friend is on the Lasalle team and i'm pretty sure Quigley is out of eligibility after this season.

Carney just started with Hudson, but you can give him all the credit anyway. Hartman is the only guy benefiting from Hudson's "training group". Credit due to Hartman, he's a tough runner. But don't go spouting off that Hudson has developed his athletes, when the reality is the majority of them leave him before there's even a chance for development. I'm guessing the same will happen with some of these guys as well.

Star buck mate, your IP address and m.o. matches the other bashing posts, you are the same bitter guy posting over and over. Lame. Do you have anything else better to do with your time? Really, a lot of U.S distance runners are doing well including the ones you profess to be an expert on. Bitterness does not become you. Shouldn't you be out on a long run now? What are your P.R.s - go ahead answer with another faux eloquent bout of denial- your forte - further confirming your identity.

He was good in HS, but he has come quite a ways! Great improvement every year.

Just a few years ago I was impressed to see him run a sub 14:15 5k, now he's doing 2 of them back-to-back.
