Samuel Chelanga does it again, absolutely demolishing the field at Pre Nats! Right away from the get go of the race he establishes his presence at Terre Haute as he immediately opens up a 20 sec gap by the 2k (5:29) and eventually 40 sec at the 5k (14:12) and maintaining that 40+ sec gap all the way to the finish in a smokin 22:51 (4:35 mile pace).
Great race! Undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with a month from now.
His race gave me the chills...there is no one in the NCAA comparable.
Rupp will be stopped.
rupp will not be beat
Rupp never wins.
So when he ran 27:33 how many beat him? When he was in that 5000m showdown with Solinsky who won? Who beat him when he pulled the double at Pac 10s? Did Kinsella beat him at the XC West Regionals last year?

None of those are a national XC title
Rupp is pretty insane. But Kinsella might have a shot at him this year at West XC. And Chelanga could have his number at nationals. I don't think Rupp is any more talented than Chelanga.
i didnt see cheleanga or whatever his name is in the same race with kenenisa bekele and haile gebrsalassie

What about my Hating and what about my Jealous?
Yeah, because in his country a 27:33 doesn't take you anywhere.
Solinsky choked after having. Sure, Rupp won, but did he even cover Solinsky's move? No. He got lucky.

Yeah because West Regionals, Pac-10s and whatever that meet was with Solinsky are definitely comparable to the NCAA national XC race.
