re: unm and local athletes....

sorry, you can't take PED's because they provide an unfair advantage.

you can however train for years, get strength, speed and experience and then come and start your NCAA time during what very well may be the peak of your career, because there is nothing unfair about that.

don't mind that the majority of american universities are public, funded by american tax payers and theoritically perhaps should put first priority on developing the domestic talent that finishes high school as a teenager and enters college as that same teenager.

for americans the eligibility clock should start after high school and be up at 5 years and for anyone else it should end at 24 (which would still give foreigners 1-2 years on most american students).

i believe rupp has an unused indoor track season, maybe he should pick up some classes and do a threepeat repeat next year.

re: fast factors

Humans are usually hitting peak at 19-20-21-22 , 23 at the latest. Being 24 and running against a 21 years old is actually a disadvantage.

Only this past weekend two 20 years old guys broke 2 respected WR.

Your body is producing more testosterone, HGH and so on at 18-19-20-21, just ask any doctor.

If you bother to do a IAAF world level study you ll see that about most talented people in track hit a huge PB when they were around 21(or earlier) and they didn`t came close for the next 5 years or so.

Peace

re: food for your troubled thought

First, are you talking sprinters, distance runners or what?

2nd, which era specifically are you referring to? There were some obscene times run in the late 90's due in part to the lack of EPO test and if you are using African ages for reference, well then that just doesn't pass muster.

Kennedy, Williams, Goucher, Meb, Abdi, Hall, Lagat, Teg, Solinksy, Riley, Ritz and on and on and on all got faster after college. And none of them peaked a year out of college but kept getting stronger and faster.

Rupp is just a year out but he's already pr'd in 3 events and he's been with the same coach for 8 years or more. When did Webb run 1:43 & 3:46? Webb's 10K best was at 23, his 800, 1500 & mile were at 24 and he's been out the past few years. My money says his best times are still yet to come. Goucher was 6th at world cross 3k when he was about 30 and he nearly tied his 5K pr a year or two after that, and he's been injured more than half the time since he left college.

I'm not buying what you're selling.

re: fast factors

I meant that most who stick up with performance track and field will have some shitty years in terms of body changes and production once they pass 22.

After that it takes them few years of regressing before eventually coming back and PR` ing again(even though some never do) . I talk more about sprint and jumping events.I would think running is not different

I would use Jeremy Warriner as a prime example. He s 26 now and 2006-2007 were his hottest years. His body hit the prime when he was 22-23 . He ll eventually come back, but I am telling you 24-25 is not a great age for track and field. And I can give you lots more examples like JW
