Joe Rosa is faster than Ritz was as a junior in high school

Going by tenths of a second on a conversion? They're essentially the same.

The bigger story is how Verzbikwhateva got owned. He is so burnt out. Will he retire?

So where a lot of runners. The difference is the EPO Ritz is on now.

Rosa looks like he's 25. Ritz looked like he was 12.

I feel pretty safe keeping the hundredths place when converting from 3218.688m to 3200m.

Rosa does not look 25; you are retarded.

You have to remember that gingers age more quickly than normal people do. A 16 year old ginger does like they are 25. Go look at 40 year old ginger, they look like they're 100!

This gives further confirmation to Joe Rosa's cross country performances. He has the record on the challenging Belmont Plateau course in Philadelphia in 15:19.20 and also at New Jersey's Holmdel course in 14:56. His times on those courses were not just records on those familiar routes, but significantly faster than numerous state champions, Footlocker finalists, sub 9:00 two milers and eventual Division 1 standouts had run.

He's still a Junior, and in these races, gets solid competition from his twin brother Jim, who is also among the top performers on both courses, and who ran the two mile yesterday in 8:51.46.

Both Joe and Jim are solid candidates to be among the best NCAA runners of the decade. With a year of high school to go, they have already done that for high school, particularly Joe.

U.S. distance running seems to have more and more good talents coming along each year.

Regardless, Rosa's performance is not appreciably faster than Ritz's.

solid candidates for best NCAA runners of the decade and they aren't even in college yet? go die, now

What I said was

"Both Joe and Jim are solid candidates to be among the best NCAA runners of the decade. With a year of high school to go, they have already done that for high school, particularly Joe."

What I said was true, and a proper use of the English words "to be among" and "solid candidates." Don't wish death on me, now, it will come for each of us in due time. Honestly, I do feel pretty good, especially that my use of the English language is strong and that I keep my anger in check.

Good luck to you.

That's because Gingers have no souls.

Joe Rosa ran a 2:59.56 in the 1200m, solid .... that's solid...especially for doubling

Well we don't care unless he doesn't burn out like many do. So the chances are slim...

Yeah Ritz was an underdeveloped dweeb at that age (even by distance runner's standards). Not to take anything away from Rosa, obviously the kid's a beast.

Rosa has the benefit of training and racing against more sub 9 minutes guys these days. It was a great run by him and he is fortunate to have more competition than Ritz did.

Do the Rosas run 100+ miles per week?

The reason Ritz was more impressive is the opposite of what you said, Ritz had incredible competition as a junior (Tegenkamp? Sage? Dobson?) and smacked down all of them at Foot Lockers and then a weaker (but still very strong field) at Outdoor Nats in the 2 mile.

Rosa is still faster than Ritz was as a junior though. Suck it Ritz. Faster Rosa sub 13:45 next year callin' it.

Souless Gingers! run!
