Bobby Curtis - 28.06

That's rich. An Oregon runner accusing a guy for taking Nike money.

gregson on the sidelines at the moment should be back in a couple of weeks to running, mcneill is a superstar. should ALMOST be able to go with rupp over 10 in a match race. would be incredible to watch NCAA

Take off the rose tinted glasses wadistance, McNiell is legit without a doubt, but Rupp would absolutely destroy him in a match race, or any race for that matter. Case in point about 3 weeks ago.

Uhhhhh, I hope you realize AJ was being sarcastic.

I hope you know that is in reference to what everyone said about Rupp when he did the exact same thing.

yeah all of them!

Hmmm not so sure- 28.03 with a blazing last lap is indicative of pretty good match racing ability. Maybe Rupp runs a bit quicker in a time trial, but surely even he would be no certainty to close with that sort of speed. If McNeill holds it together there could be some interesting racing.

curtis, weidlenger and birmingham and maybe even shelly shared the lead in 900m segments, mcneil led half a lap tops.

Curtis and and Shelly would've finished like that too if they'd had a free ride like McNeil had.

Michael Shelly is the next Ryan Hall, he ran 3.39 as a junior f0r 1500m and this yeat while supposedly pacing a half marathon, did'nt pull out and ran 62.40 leading the whole way into a head wind.

He will run a 2.08 marathon before very much longer.

Does anyone know who is coaching Michael Shelley? I checked on Athletics Australia but they didn't have a profile on him.

haha tool. Shelley ran 3.39 as a 21 going 22 year old. Ryan Hall ran 13.16? at NCAA's as a 22 year old??

Come back when Shelley runs a solo 59min half.

Different pages even chapters of athletes buddy.

all very true, I didn't realize Shelly was so old when he ran 3.39, what did he do as a true Junior?

I guess my meaning was he is a guy who everyone assumed would be a 1500 or maybe 5km star who really looks like he is going to be lethal, (probably not 2.06 lethal) over longer distances like 10km - marathon.

Here is the race video... look at what McNeill does to the NCAA 5km champ in the last 3 hunj. Damn!

AWESOME Jamiroquai soundtrack! hahaha

Bobby Curtis looks like he's lost a little bit of weight compared to that ncaa 5k win. Granted, he's still bigger than most, but Solinsky would do well to pay attention.

Curtis is now as fast as Wejo.

Solinsky will never make an Olympic team.

As much as I like the guy, if he stays "fat", then you are most likely correct.

omg stfu solinsky pisses excellence, that's enough to make him the best in the world, he said the word "piss" in an interview and he's so badass and cool, doesn't he at least earn a medal for being so hardcore and rebellious?

Too bad..... when I saw the thread title, I was hoping it was 28.06 for a 200.

Wrestling is still an olympic sport.
