Andrews OOWWWWNNSSSS Wheating

bump

Let's not lose sight of the fact that Wheating has to be able to beat Mac Fleet on his own team. Personally, I think Fleet has the better 800 meter potential than either Wheating or Andrews. At NCAA's Fleet may become the "rabbit" needed to run that 51-52 second first lap. If that happens, Wheating will win. If Wheating sets that kinds of pace, it could be interesting. Fact is, Robby Andrews is now the favorite and now he is the hunted one.

It's a lot more difficult when you are the favorite...lots of ex-champions can tell you that.

i still don't think andrews is the favorite.

wheating is the dumbest f***er on earth if he lets ncaas become a slow race.

presumably he'll use his head and won't make the same mistake a third time. off a fast pace, i think wheating is a strong favorite

nice job CASIMIR LOXSOM reppin' CT he ballin outta CoNTRoLLLLLLL

Wheating is super talented, but not the best racer. Jacob Hernandez had his number. Last year at Pac-10 and Outdoor NCAAs he eeked out wins against way less talented runners. He has great credentials, but has way more losses at big races, then wins. Wheating needs to learn how to win as well as run fast times.

I just love it because it makes things exciting. When the same guy wins every time, it gets boring.

Wheating is still the favorite going in to ncaas, he is the defending outdoor champ and has a much faster PR. Once he graduates, Robby will then be the guy to beat it seems.

Anyone else think it might be interesting for Andy to run the 1500 at NCAAs? He is undefeated at the Mile/1500 distance this year and I think he hasnt come close to his potential in that event. Imagine Lee, Dorian, Wheating, and Centro all in that final. Would be crazy.

...If Cassie doesn't know, he can always ask Andrews, SINCE HE HAS A BRAND NEW WATCH!

I give respect where respect is due and Andrews has run smart and beaten Wheating in there 2 meetings, but being owned is far from the truth. He's out leaned him twice. THAT is not owned. If this was a fast paced race going out somewhere like 50/51 I'll put money down that the freshmen will not be close to Wheating. Plus his kick won't mean crap at the end of the race. All we can do is stay tuned.

I hear you, bro...you might be right but that finish at enn was NOT a lean. Watch it again...Robby broke Wheating...BROKE him. Don't look at times...watch races.

i think wheating will double

i'm sure oregon regrets not having rupp triple last year, and they're not going to risk a narrow loss at home

he's redshirting this season

you say "they ran the same time, "1:48.8" then go on to say "fact is, wheating actually closed the gap from start to finish".... ruh-tard

didn't Andrews get beat at ACC's? I think so...

Yea, but it was by one of his teammates, so he probably didn't care that muc.

Throw out the who doubled and the actual splits and the micro-analysis.

Twice on a big stage Andrews past Wheating on the way to the finish line.

There is a mental edge there now.

This could seep into both of their heads when they meet again.

They could meet at NCAA's and USATF this year. Check back on the head to head record after that.

Andrews may mentally already own Wheating but we will not know that until after the season.

Let's check back then for either an I-told-you-so or apology.

andrews took it to wheating twice. you cant say anything about how wheating 'didn't see him'. he is a senior he should know by now considering all the prestigious races he has been in. andrews on the other hand is a freshman. 19 years old. give credit where credit is due. robby took it to wheating twice. no excuses.

Wheating sits and kicks. always has and always will. "the problem with kickers is they are out kicked by bigger kickers." -Harry groves. Andrews is just a bigger kicker. Adrews is a great 800m runner but there are enough people who have run faster then him in the ncaa indoors and outdoors that we should not be calling him a future 142 guy and olympic medalist yet. yes he can win a sit and kick, but lets see how he runs in an honest 145-146 pace race from the gun. Im sure he will do great, but will he still be the best?

All you guys talk about Wheating and Andrews is ridiculous. NEITHER is the best. Look at Mac Fleet's weekend! Only guy that ran ALL 3 races, and his 800 time was faster than both of them. And talk about someone that knows how to race!!! He will win either the 800 or 1500 at NCAA's....just a case of where Vin puts him,.

His time was the fastest because he was on a leg that didn't go out slow, YA TARD!
