so......28:08, and now 8:38 steeple. Those are 2 blazing times. He probably can run 13:45-13:30 5k. So my question is, is he the best runner in college right now? (any division)

no
I think he ran about 13:34 at Mt. Sac last year. I think it hard to argue that he isn't the best collegiate 10k runner at least.
arguably it is between solinsky and naimadu.
Well anything is arugable...
No love for Lopez eh
I'm still trying to comprehend running a hard 10k and then coming back a week later to race a pretty decent steeple.
He\\\'s not Human, did he really recover from that preety 10K at Stanfold? and now he is running 8:38 steeple. I heard that he just wanted to defend his title for 2006 and also being the stadium record holder{8:35.47 2006}, otherwise he could have foregone.
His other major steeple race will be in Penn {I heard rummors that he is aiming at smashing the stadium record of 8:26}Remember he won that race for two consequetive years and his personal best time{2006} is 8:29....
Watch the Stanford 10k on Flotrack...that guy could have ran 27:55.
Naimadu is THE best in college track right now. Solinsky would get pounded. I would say the second best is Lomong followed by Solinsky.
What about Todd" You cannot ever forget TODD Williams he is still a FULL BLOODED AMERICAN who would of Handed the Damn Kenyan (Nicodemus) his butt. SO the question should be that There should be 2 sepearate races, one for the True American( HELL YEA FULL BLOODED) and one for the Kenyans....

what the hell are you talking?
Nicodemus is like 29, he is a dII runner. Not comparable to Solinsky.
lol im so sick of this shit, D11 runner, what exactly does that mean, becuase he runs division two he is somehow not as good as solinsky???? what is the conversion on times for a d2 runnner??? ignorant a**hole
Root Beer, you are an ignorant f***. First of all, is he Kenyan? Second, why have a race for Kenyans and then another for everyone else? Do you feel inferior. Well, I am sure that you are inferior but let us not hope that our top runners actually feel that weak!
solinsky's better, lomong is better, and i'm sure if rupp had raced that 10k, he would have won it. So no, he's not the best in the ncaa right now.
I totally believe that this forum of discussion about running was meant for "stupid" talks."who would of Handed the Damn Kenyan (Nicodemus) his butt" WHO EVER WROTE THIS..........................N'way may the Holy spirit fill your heart and.......

Nicodemus will be at Penn.
Where will Solinsky be?
Find out, post it.
Those other steeple runners @ TX Relays were stupid chasing Nicodemus the 1st 1K. No NCAA runner can hang with him in the steeple, 10K, possibly the 5K.
