Holy Moly - It's a gonna be an ABSOLUTE SHOWDOWN this Friday at the TYSON INVITE 5K!!!! Predictions?!

the ncaa record for 5k is 13:20 by suleiman nyambui,

the american record is 13:20 by doug padilla

sorry i dont have the records to hundreths of a second in front of me.

my picks

daba 13:17

rupp 13:18

chelanga 13:19

gennetti 13:21

That would be cool to see a 27 year old record go down!

Hopefully Jonathan Pierce who is now training with Mahon can break the jinx and not finish last like both Slattery and Rhines this past weekend.

OK, for some reason I was thinking the NCAA record was 13:22.

I think your picks are fair, but I have no idea where Chelenga is at right now.

Should be fun.

The NCAA record by an American is 13:22

i'm going to be conservative on this one and say

1. rupp, 13:28

i think its possible he could go as fast as 13:20

Wow ...

The answer is: FAST! I just can't wait to see what unfolds. I can't imagine that Arkansas would neglect to put a rabbit or two in there 'cause they want as much as any of us for something special to go down.

I think they'll get it! Can't wait!

Oooo, I'm all a-quiver.

Enjoy the sport, but get a life. It's just a freaking race.

This is a strange post. I guess it's like "yeah I may glance a the results, but a possible break of a 27 year old american record is nothing to anticipate.

I'd like to live a day in the life of you, must be base jumping in the morning, cliff diving after lunch followed by an orgy with all the local desperate housewives just before the husbands should arrive home from work.

Yeah, it's so cool NOT to get excited about fast running.

Will it be on live TV on Friday night ?

Haha, yeah, that guy is quite the fag-got tool!

hahaha, i couldn't have said it better.

indoor 5k is pointless. too many laps and turns to actually decipher who is the better 5k runner.

5ks need to be run on a full size track, or better yet, the roads.

anything longer than a mile on an indoor track is pointless to both watch and to run.

I agree with you Well said.... is a complete d-bag who should get a gun +1 bullet and make it count

You're almost spot-on. Do I know you?

It's okay to be impressed by fast running...But spare me the juvenile "Holy Moly", all-caps words and multiple exclamation points. Again, it's just a freaking race. It's not like anyone is about to witness some sort of other-worldly miracle.

Could you repeat your thought in standard English, please. I know it's just a simple message board, but there are times when punctuation is helpful.

listen man, i care about this race as much as you do. it is not important to me at all, but if someone else is excited about it why rain on their parade? whats the point? its good that people still get excited about things and although its not a miricle, there is still the chance that someone could run faster then anyone has ever before ever since records began being recorded. personally will i probably not remember the race is on this weekend because i am not involved in the sport much anymore. reguardless let these people enjoy their anticipation. if it makes then happy then so be it, who are you to call them down?

People need perspective. It's all in the name of education.
