Fast 800m/1500m in Madison Thursday

those times are pretty legit for someone not on a D1 team. Got pics?

I know you are a troll but I'm going to rant anyways, you POS. Considering you have no idea who is on my team, nor the times of which they are capable, I think you should go fck yourself. I have a problem with bastards like you who see "club team" and automatically think we're a bunch of washed up high school athletes jumping on a track and running 11 min 3ks, devoid of any talent whatsoever. We train every day of our own volition, drive ourselves to meets and run competitively against other collegiate athletes. And when I say some of us could be on the Badger squad, I mean it. If it weren't for my major I would be on the team. So before you blast out ignorant statements like you have been, you should know what you're talking about.

lol because of your major. Congrats on beating kate sanft although her mile pr is still faster than your 1500 pr. You are not on the team for a reason.

You're an idiot. A lot of our club runners could be on the Wisconsin team if they wanted to make the commitment.

Secondly, the summer track series are meets put on for the community, so old people, young people, high school and college runners, throwers and jumpers all show up to compete for fun.

So please, shut up.

So what you're saying is that they're slackers.

College students attending college to attend college and get an education, possibly working some to keep the debt accumulation down. Not MY definition of a 'slacker'.

Getting back to the subject, Tommy Schmitz(Mineral Point,WI) has run 3:58 for mile this season will be in the 1500M field. Also his younger brother Bruce will be trying to improve on his 800 PR of 1:52.23

This thread is useless without pics of the OP.

So, does anyone actually know who else is in the 8/15 besides the aforementioned Badgers?

So what's goin' on over at McClimon ?

Did miller get the mark? As good as Miller is, coaches there didn't get him into Olympic Trials in 08 and can't compete after his Senior year to ty to earn a contract. That's poor planning; hope Jerry has some room on his couch for future? Sometimes, it's true tht college coaches use you for points and then done with you.hh

Heard through the grapevine (friends at the meet) that Miller ran 3:40, so he's in. don't know anything else yet.....

Miller is in, 3:40 low (59,1:58,2:57), don't know the exact time. Finnerty ran 3:41 high or 3:42 low. The 800 guys weren't close, Beth about 1:49.50.

Finnery 3:42.16

miller in

finnery on bubble

did the 800's go yet?

The 800/1500 were not the only events with qualifying for USATF. Jenny Soceka (Madison/UW-Madison) was trying to his 4.26/13'11 3/4" to qualify. she did 3.96, 4.11, 4.26, 4.36(2), then almost made 4.46. 4.36 is #4 American outdoors this year.

What are you talking about? Miller ran 3:37 in the 1500 and was 6th at USA's last year. He is going to be just fine finding a contract and running after college.
