Dallas Baptist University Men ranked in Region

Not mens team, but I saw two girls in a row not make the long jump pit. I also saw a girl throw shot with sprint spikes on (spikes removed).

any aspect of that team being ranked blows my mind

When did all of this take place?

There hasn't been a shot-putter in 5 years on the women's squad. I'm pretty sure they're all distance?

2001ish at K-State

Much has changed.

alumnus is probably the coach (jacob) getting pub for his team on here. Nice try bro.

The only thing jacob tries to get pub for is himself. can we say cocky?

Or not.

Agreed. Full out jerk.

Should probably leave the profession. DBU should probably drop the program.

jake didn't start this, in fact he just emailed me and asked if i did, which i didn't. probably another one of my former teammates who is ecstatic to see a program that we worked so hard for, finally getting a little bit of recognition.

when i was a freshman at dbu(5 years ago), the top time on the team was barely under 29...by the end of the year. to see them with all 2 guys under 26! and everyone else under what our top time used to be! amazing.

the women? flippin 18:55 AVERAGE for the top 7 this last weekend, great for most any team!

the only reason any of them are any good is because of the passion jake brings. when he became coach my senior year after being my teammate and friend, i didn't know what to expect. i knew he loved the sport, but didn't know what to expect coaching wise. what i got was a full minute off my pr for 8k.

don't let your envy ruin your ability to appreciate, or even congratulate.

If anyone thinks this men's team doesn't deserve to be ranked....:

Felix Rodriguez SO 25:41

Matt Hansen JR 25:55

Kurt Lindsey FR 26:58

Garrett Sage SO 27:22

Eric Wyatt JR 28:24

Kepp in mind THEY DON'T GET PAID FOR THIS! Show me any other runner's who will work this hard for the love.... SHOW ME!

Are you kidding me?

This coach (kid) has Texas Relays and Penn Relays listed on the Track Schedule.

Penn Relays???? Funny.

Who on that roster can qualify for Penn?

Drop the program? Are you serious? They are a non-scholarship team ranked above 10 or so scholarshiped teams in their region. Get real. Maybe they should get scholarships.

who are you? what do you have against Dallas Baptist? much less, a handfull of walk-ons that work their buts off?

Oklahoma State -- September 29th

Heartland Conference Championships -- October 20th

That will explain everything.

Thats prodigious.

What happened to Central Missouri in that region. They were forth the week before. I think they should be ahead of DBU.

As far as i'm concerned Jacob is a great guy and has really done alot to put DBU on the map. They are a great D2 team, full of hardworkers and it shows.

research done:

2 women have run 17 minute 5k's in past 2-3 years

5 women have run 19 minutes or faster in past 2-3 years for xc.

2 men have now run sub 26 minute 8k.

On the "national" course, the women average 18:55 for 5k.

It's still so early though.

I hope you're joking...how about aproximately 1.5 BILLION walk-ons at universities across the nation who run as fast or faster than all of those cats on any given weekend. I assume you're related to their number 5 man, which is cool and all, but come on man, get real.
