Acosta! What a kick!
One of the greatest things I've ever seen!
Moved them into 1st place in the team competition. Sick. 24 points in one events.
Vin's best event (as a coach) is the 1500, and NOBODY is better at getting his guys to peak when it counts. You saw it in the 10,000 with the 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-4 at Stanford; you saw it again today. Great job by the Ducks. Acosta has to feel great about the way he turned things around this year.
Robby Andrews ran 3:41 a few weeks ago. He would have won that race no problem.
Why'd Acosta let him win????

I thought the same thing. Acosta definitely had Wheating at the end, but chose to celebrate the sweep with 10m to go instead.
acosta is all about team this year
And that is why German Fernandez was no better than the 4th best 1500m runner of 2009. Lucky for him, there was no Oregon runners in that race.

Yeah, had Centro been healthy, it would have been an epic finish last year.
Today's race played into Wheating's hand...tho Acosta coulda won it. Great team guy Acosta, talk about personal and team redemption.
Lee Emanual did not run like a stud today...
Did you see that flying V?
Lee Emmanuel pulled that same stupid move at the Oregon Relays. When is he gonna realize you can't just run away from a field this good especially when you don't even have the best PB.
splits??
66,66,??, ??
German ran 3:39.00 last year closing in 1:53 for his last 800 leading from start to finish with everyone just sitting on him. The 11 other guys were within 1.5 seconds back with a lap to go and nobody could get buy him. Did what he needed to win. He had guys like dorian ulrey who ran 3:35 just sitting on him and nobody could touch him. He would have been fine in this race today. Also he wouldn't have let it go out like that either. The only thing thats beating him is injuries.
Can someone please explain how that happened. I want to know what Vin did to aim these guys to peak like that!
Really though what does he do?
Please. None of those chumps could run 3:55.02 solo, indoors (or out), winning by 10+ seconds......none of them.
He'll be back next year, he'll take his title back if he so chooses to run the 1500m, and he'll have a better career than all of them.
here here. I'm not saying german for sure would have won today but in the long run those three aren't half as a good as german. They're ncaa winning potential but german might just be olympic medalist level (maybe)
Yeah, it's all. About Hernandez today.
Oh, wait, the guy has barely raced in a year.
I can't believe I missed this...
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
