The 2000 race was posted at the same time:

Ritz (who kills everyone), Webb, Hall, etc.

A different interpretation of the above and of Flagpole's posts; Ritz could have simply been trained to near the max of his talent by the end of HS and start of college, and because of a huge base, not sheer talent, able to run great off of injuries that may actually have helped him by giving his body a break.[/quote]

"90-95 mpw" [Ritz, senior] and "+30 mpw more than the rest of the field (Webb 2nd, Hall 3rd)" [FTL announcer] and look at him afterwards.

re: mnbvvz

agreed. Ritz wont reach the level of Hall or Webb. Ritz was pretty maxed as far as training goes in high school. This is common knowledge. Hall and Webb were just beginning to scratch the surface. And he's mad of glass. Not bashing, again just the truth.

Also, the discussion of talent is absurd. Until someone finds a talent gene or a way to test this, arguing about it is pointless. No one cares how much "talent" you have. Its who is fastest at the end of the day. There are no "buts" and "ifs" about it. No one gets a medal for having a high v02 max. I'm not saying Ritz doesn't have God given ability - he has a lot of it. But it doesn't matter, he's getting left in the dust by his peers. Hall and Webb are the top dogs in that class, theres no argument.

Web and Hall are miles away from the rest. They have closed the gap on the super elites.

Teg and goucher run really well a couple of years back.. when they almost chased down limo and kipchoge..

hopefully more and more of these guys compete in europe where they will show what they can do.

Most of them are running well here in the US but not in the US.

I do agree that Ritz could break the 10k AR. I just believe that it will also be broken by Fam, Hall, and possibly Abdi and Rupp.

1 out of 4 ain’t too bad.
