After high school, no one races this "bastard" distance. The only exception is when a Kenyan needs to set a "record" for 2M to gain bonus $$$$.
Let's impose a moritorium on Ritz vs. Webb topics. For starters, it's old and overdone. Secondly, it's about as constructive as "Would you rather do SFH or Sara Bei?". Why waste time and brain cells on either topic because they're not going to happen? (Except in your dreams) Ritz is a 10,000 / Marathon type runner, Webb is a miler and never shall the two cross paths in their professional careers.
Let's make it interesting.
Change it to:
Would you rather do Webb or Ritz and who do you think would win a 2 miler between Bei and SFH.
Discuss amongst yourselves children.
