Colorado won handily, sweeping Men's and Women's individual and team (overall, not just D1) titles at the Rocky Mountain Shootout. Brent Vaughn toyed with Wyoming's Mark Korir before blasting away from him in the final mile. Stephen Pifer was 3rd. Sara Vaughn won for the women, pulling away from teammate Erin Marston in the last mile, the two of them well clear of the field for much of the race. Western was nowhere to be seen, buried in the field.

"Too"
does CU have 5 guys to compete with oregon?
CU looked so strong today it was rediculous! Brent Vaughn looked like he wasnt even trying! I think he is returning to the form he had his freshmen year. Pifer looked great and so did Kenyon Neuman. Then came pete janson, little later rob thayer and then bradley Harkrader. And to round out the top 7 I think it was either tebo or medina! But they both looked great. CU had a great day and should be contenders in Nov. Plus they didnt run chris pannone or seth demoor for some reason but I'm sure with those two they will have a solid team for sure. Good job CU!!!
Did anyone else see King Fauxbra out there today? Tan-skinned guy running around in Reebok shoes with a faux-hawk?
We should find out next month.

CU looked good, but there is much to be answered in the coming weeks.
1. Can Medina and/or Tebo withstand the intensity of training and racing to run well in November?
2. Will Harkrader have time to get strong enough to be a factor in CU's top 5?
3. Will Neuman break down under the mass of 100+ mile weeks or will he hold on and finish top 30 at nationals?
Those questions posed, I wouldn't hold out much hope for either DeMoor or Pannone as being top 7 guys this year.
No, but I saw one of the Torres twins riding off with a guy on the back of his motorcycle. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Noted pimp - http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?board=1&thread=1757949&id=1760821 - Ian Burrell won the men's open race by a wide margin in 25:25.
the CU men looked pretty impressive. vaughn dropped a 425 last mile to win, pifer and neuman were hauling as well. vaughn and pifer can both be top 10 at nationals, neuman could be top 25 based on how close he was to pifer, who was never more than 10 meters ahead of him. neuman ran over a minute faster this year compared to last year. that is a tough top 3 to match no matter who you are.
harkrader wasn't running hard, just a moderate effort. he is probably a bit behind some other guys but he'll catch up. he ran in trainers today so definitely not a hard effort at all. he is the secret weapon for CU this year.
tebo and medina are the real deals. if CU wins the national title it will be because of these 2 guys. they were both super impressive today and it will be exciting to see how they do the rest of the year. i wouldn't count either guy out for all american honors. pete janson was right behind tebo and medina so you never know where he is going to factor in.
all in all CU is going to be tough to beat and they look to have a pretty good stable of runners this year.
Who was the Garden State kid who took the pace out at the start and what happened to him??
Lauren Dunsmoor might want to eat something.
Though I'm no pro like Matt Taylor or Mark Floriani, I took my Polaroid along with me today and so far I have photos up for the college women
http://sisurunning.8k.com/photo3.html
and open races
http://sisurunning.8k.com/photo.html
College men to come soon.
CU's also looking impressively deep on both sides, but especially on the men's. How would you say times on that course compare to an average sea-level XC race. I'd imagine would run about a minute faster.
