I get the same impression about Bauhs as the first time I saw Broe, Lincoln and Hall. I have a feeling that this one is no one-hit wonder.

I'm as excited watching Scott Bauhs as I have been about any American distance runner in recent years. He is solid. Every time he is put into a situation where you think that he might be over his head, he PERFORMS.
And all this after running and winning the 1500 in his conference meet in LA on the same weekend...
I hadn`t heard of him before the Int`l Chiba Ekiden last Nov., but yeah, I had the same reaction when I saw him run there.

A standard is 27:50. Bauhs stayed on pace to hit the standard when some solid veterans fell off, like Bizuneh and Fitschen.
The announcers on Flotrack were bemoaning the fact that, as a DII collegian, Bauhs couldn't run in the DI meet. But that may work out to his advantage. He has much bigger opportunities awaiting him than the NCAA DI meet.
He's the top American. That's incredible! All of the pros entered in the race must have had a bad day.
mottrams time is not incredibly bad. not really good. not bad either. i wonder why he ran the 10 instead of 5?
Is Bauhs the Symmonds of distance?
buster hit the OG A standard and missed the oz record
Mottram ran the 10 becase hes afraid of Lagat
He is legite and has balls of steel. This kid is no one hit wonder. I am so inspired as a Chico allumni and want to put him on the front page of collegerunning.com for the comeback story. All I can say is roadtrip from the SF bay to Chico to Eugene. Give me a sierra Nevada, so me cute girls, and an olympic qualifying race. Bejing are you with me. ChEEEEEEEEEEEEEECo!

You damn well should be. This kid doesn't seem to care what the distance is or who in it, he's going to mix it up with them anyway. If track and field had a draft, I would think teams would be cutting deals to move higher up to get him.
i loved collegerunning.com! i was a frosh in college in '01 and that was the first website that i found about running. i was new to the internet and computers and such, and it pretty much set the standard for me.
if you do bring it back, can you have all those pictures and message boards in an archived section?
He performs exactly when he needs to. He knows the standards, and runs just under them. He was the 4th American at worlds and broke the 4 minute mile 2 weeks later off of one race pace workout two days before... He doesnt race all that often but runs exactly what he needs to in order to get the job done.
example: yesterday he ran 3:57 closing in a rumored 56 to win the CCAA 1500, came back and ran the A standard. He looks like crap 3 laps into the race too, then just redlines hard core. Then he closes awesomely.
goatta give some credit to his coaches. Towne at Chico and Erik Dube at San Ramon Valley HS. They both followed basically the same strategy. Volume and Tempo, lots of it.
It was the same thing Scott's senior year in HS. He wasn't looked at as much of a threat going into the state 3200 until he ran the race of his life to take 2nd to Yousef Ghebray.
Good thing he didn't follow Ghebray to Cal as well.
