Yah i saw some Facebook pictures of the camp...looks like it was a lot of fun.

The poster above has all the campers right. It was fun to see Sveinsson out as we haven't seen her since April, and to see her hanging out with Cuffe, Maddie Meyers, etc.

Also cool to see the Rosas, Moussa, Gedyon, Wills, etc. all hanging out together.

Nice idea for a camp by Nike.

Nike wants all those kids to run NXN and ditch Foot Locker, that's what this is about

Half of them already have.

No Craig Lutz? That sounds like a big snub.

did you ever think that perhaps people were invited and and either turned it down or were otherwise committed to something else that week? Why immediately think it was a snub ? ...I bet he was one of the first invited.

Maybe he wasn't available? It's possible he was invited and couldn't, or didn't want to, go.

Hey, uh, no need to get unnecessarily hostile. It was just a curious absence to me because I would think the NXN champion would jump at the chance to train with/learn from some of Nike's best, and therefore make arrangements for his other commitments.

Either way, it's nothing to get heated about or a reason to be condescending. It's not every day a great high school runner gets to meet Adam Goucher, Alan Webb, etc., so it seemed strange that he wasn't there and I couldn't think of any reason he wouldn't go, so I posited that perhaps he wasn't invited.

Lutz is way cooler than any of those dweebs. He probably was like, "F*** that, I'm going to stay in Texas and hang-out with my boys."

Seriously, why would you want to play grab-ass with a bunch of runners.

Because their asses are nice and firm?

Beyond shady.

Rosa twins have already verballed to Oregon.

How does that happen without a "camp" like this?

Why don't you go ahead and provide your source for that claim there big guy.

no hostility nor condescension meant.

I couldn't think of a reason he wouldn't attend but he was invited.

and the Rosas have not verbally committed to anyone.

I don't think Lutz ran post season? Hopefully he's healthy. Great kid, very low key.

3 kids turned town the offer: Lutz, Sam Pons, and Lukas

Okay! No big deal, sorry, my mistake.

Thanks for the info. Curious that those three would be missing, but looks like a pretty strong group of nine even without them.

Why is it curious that those 3 are missing? Is there something about Craig, Lukas, and Sam that collectively their absence makes it questionable.
