maybe his coach is mailing it in....where has the team finished at nationals the last few years....how much did debole improve?

Boyd's coach must've lied to get him in there. But he will be the best looking one on the line- that's for sure.

It's not that uncommon for non-PSU athletes to rabbit some of the races at these meets (like someone else said, GT has had a few).
Plus, are the heat sheets out? There are several PSU milers entered, and Fuller (running unattached, but from PSU) is an 800 kid primarily, I believe. So look for him to rabbit, probably.
Matt Lincoln has a strong history at this race, so if he's in good shape look for him to dip under 4, assuming the pacing isn't blown.
You got the wrong fuller. That Brian kid graduated last year and is competing unattached. The other kid is running the 800
jdubs ftdubs!!!
Magness returns from the dead

No, I have the correct Fuller. I am aware that he graduated. I never said he was still a student at Penn State, just that he was a Penn State kid. It's not like BAS suddenly can't see him after he graduates.
I honestly though Borchers would've become a stud by now. He had no distance background at all in HS and thought if he got stronger, to go along with his freakish speed, he'd be a consistent top of NCAA athlete. I don't think he misses too many parties though!

Sam Bair... also an interesting entry.
Also 21 runners? a lot of them dont deserve to be entered in an invite mile.
Sam Bair! I thought he may have hung them up.
FREE SAM BAIR!!!!
Nelson Mandela does not equal Sam Bair...Did I hear that Sam is in great shape and ready to roll?

He has had a lot of positive moments at PSU...but just hasnt put something together individually on the national stage yet. However, 2:22/4:01/Big Ten Champ as a frosh, and then 1:48 indoors as a soph ain't bad at all. Who knows what he could have done if he ran the 8 at indoor NCAAs instead of focusing on his team and running only the DMR.
He did have a very promising fall season for himself...25flat 8k, but it has yet to be seen if that will carry over to track. Hopefully this year can have some success post-Conference.
As far as partying goes...the kid can do what he wants.
Perf lists don't mean much for this meet. Probably will call the meet off if it snows.
Did I see correctly that Borchers is running the non-seeded section of the 3000m? I heard that he is coming off of a minor leg injury, and using this race as a tune up for a fast 800 or mile later on.
Bumbalough, Bair, Magness, and Lincoln should duke it out...With a well rabbited pace, we could easily see a few guys under 4:00.

Haha, still bitter about that? Cute. Call the whaaaambulance.
Anyone know what kind of shape Bumbalough is in? Is he ready to pop a fast race?
Rumor has it one of the Miler Xerxes is planning on pwning noobs? MRC, the man with two first names.
There needs to be more talk about Van Ingen here.
The kid ran 4:01.5y and 3:43.1 last year and can race the shit out of anyone. He just made Cross NCAAs as an individual so I can't imagine him not being able to make another great jump with such improved strength. Look for him to be there at the end, especially if it's a kicker's affair.
I know that van Ingen is the real deal. He'll be right there as well.

It rarely is at this meet. Nice honest pace most of the time. The past few years it's gone ~59/1:59/2:59/3:59-4:00.

I would look for Lincoln if this is the case!
