I know this course is normally pretty fast but today's results seem a little extreme. Anyone there for the race? Was it just perfect conditions or could the course be a little bit on the short side?
Its definitely a bit short. Talent/Time ratio's just don't match up with that sort of depth.
33 guys under 25 minutes? Nope. I'd guess its at least 30-45 seconds fast/200-250 meters short.
I was there, they always do a great job measuring the course, but it did seem like the times were too fast, so who knows.
The course wasn't short I measured it and mssu always does a good job at keeping it accurate, the course could have been faster but there were numerous turns and hilly throughout the course. Temperature was perfect, mid 70's maybe and started to sprinkle a little bit
I just talked to someone who GPSed it and they said it came up about 200 meters short.

lol, looks like someone wants there new PR to be legit. Ive ran this course several times in the past and it was shorter today. I got 180m short. Typically this course is about 30m short anyway.
*their
I have run this course in the past and it always seemed fast but today it seems as though it was just absurdly fast. From what I know of guys and what they can run it seemed about 30-40 seconds fast. The thing is it is hard to believe that it isn't the same course they have run for who knows how long.
They had to change the course because the football team is going to be getting an indoor practice facility right in the middle of the old start.
talent/time ratio is too fast?
did you take a look at who was in the race? arkansas, harding...etc
when you have these guys taking it out quick everyone is going to follow them and grab nice times as a result. perfect conditions today as well. Gps'd it and it came to 4.9
First time is previous PR. I just did the top few guys who's PRs were easy to find with out searching through hundreds of meet results...
Daniel Kirwa 23:48 23:11 Today (37 second PR)
Lane Boyer 24:40 23:23 Today (1:17 PR)
Silas Kisorio 24:34 23:43 Today (51 second PR)
Micheal Pierce 24:44 23:56 Today (48 second PR)
Rick Elliot 24:56 24:09 Today (57 second PR)
Tim Testa 25:13 24:31 Today (42 second PR)
MJ Hassaballa 25:28 24:34 Today (54 second PR)
Phillip Biwott 24:19 24:11 Today (8 seconds off PR)
Michael Chinchir 24:46 24:32 Today (14 second off PR)
Russel Patrick 24:47 25:32 Today (45 second PR)
Rio Riena 24:52 25:09 Today (17 second PR
Brennon Benkert 24:52 25:36 Today (44 second PR)
So on and so forth....To conclude...there are some HUGE Prs there from some top guys, early in the season. A lot of the old PRs were set on notoriously fast courses and much later in the season....
The course was short.

4.9 means it was SHORT... 8k is 4.97...
My 305 definitely got 4.96 so a little short but nothing extreme....
Super short 5k about 130 meters
No, the 5K wasn't short, if anything it was a little long. The map that you just made doesn't follow the course correctly, it would be almost impossible to check it on this site since they cut new paths since google maps has been updated. The 8K however, was short.
Also, you didn't take the part on the far right far enough, it goes almost even with the fence line.
