HS class of '04?

True is XC skiing

Withrow is riding his 10k to nats, nothing big since then

Has True fully committed to skiing over running?

Oh, and what about Kiptoo?

I just saw Trafeh's name the other day in results of the Manchester BMC. Ran 3:44 there. Ran 1:50 and 3:45 earlier overseas.

Most of those guys you mention have been healthy for most of their college careers but have had some issues this past spring.

I'd say they've all done pretty well so far and you can expect to here more from them in the coming year once they're healed.

Eagon- 9th USA 10k 2006, 11th XC 2006, Indoors 2007 7:53 3000, 13:41 5000, has had issues with a hurt ankle since winter/indoor season of 2007. Its been mentioned on this board countless times that Eagon re-injured his hurt ankle walking in the snow during this past winter and got a stress fracture as a result of having to run the Big Ten indoor meet on it.

True- 3:41 1500 2007, xc skiing now

Kinsella- 9th xc 2007, likely was injured this spring

Withrow- Big Ten XC Champion 2007, has been dealing with a hip/gait injury since fall of 2005.

Trafeh- trains on his own, does road races

Eagon is the only one of them that is still qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 5k, not sure if he is back to training or planning on running it.

also...

McDougal currently has some sort of gait issue, possibly similar to Withrow from the sound of his interviews. He's not racing for a while, as he tries to fix his problem. From what I've been able to gather, Landry has had knee problems throughout the Winter and Spring that have held him out of competition.

Kiptoo is hurt. Talked to him at the twilight meet and he was wearing a gigantic cast on his foot/leg. I have seen him in results since then though, which I find strange. He said he will be back and read to go for XC.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry, I don't visit this board enough to catch some of what I'm sure are oft-mentioned injuries and the like (such as Eagon). Really unfortunate for all of the involved injured athletes, but great to hear about some of them already coming back (i.e. Kiptoo, already racing after being in a cast?!?).

Just curious... what are "gait issues"?

Eagon is planning on racing in Europe this summer from what I hear (if he's 100%).
