For the past couple of months this board has been polluted by a succession of rants against the guys who qualified in the 2:20-22 range. Its too soft, they have no chance of making the team, what is the point of sending them, they don't belong there with real athletes, we need to raise the bar, lower the qualifying time. American distance running will be better served if we promote excellence rather than mediocrity and setting a 2:22 target IS promoting mediocrity.
I have two words for you dullards.
TRENT BRINEY.
Thanks dude for giving us all a little bit of hope.
