Chris and German are both talented, classy guys. Which a lot more than can be said of a lot of posters here.
German has accomplished a lot: Cal state XC title as a sophmore, shatters course record on famous Cal course, HS 2-mile record, best HS distance double of all-time, World junior record for indoor mile, 7:47.98 indoor 3k, 13:31 in first 5k race, big-10 xc champ as a frosh over a 2 (or 3) time NCAA champion, 2-time junior xc champion.
That's not hype, that's very, very good.
Chris, too, deserves his press and his fan base. Breaks Virgin's long standing XC course record (though slightly different course), 13:55 5k in HS, 7th as true frosh NCAA XC, now he breaks the US junior 5k records by a large amount (though GF was also under the mark by a fair amount.
Both are talented, and both have bright futures. Neither owns the other. Not yet.
Great race by Chris and German. I think the record will come down more. Who does it, that's the question.
