Of this group, Ritz, Rupp, Moran, Nelson, Abdi, Huling, and probably Bauhs and Fam would not be running the 5K at USATF next year - 10K, Marathon, and Steeple will pull them away.
Some of the others (Derrick, Heath, Dobson, Bethke, Vaughn, Asmerom) Bumbalough beat at the NCAA and/or USATF 5K this year.
This still leaves plenty of contenders (and the big 3 of Lagat, Teg, Solinsky), but in 2008, who would've thought Jager would make the '09 team? Schumacher's done great things with his disciples...
interesting...
Bumbalough's collegiate career mirrors Teg's in some ways: won no NCAA titles and went through multiple injuries and setbacks. Teg ran 13:25 summer after his 5th year at Wisco then ran 13:04 the following summer; Bumbalough ran 13:30 during his 4th year at Georgetown.
If Bumbalough can build his strength without getting hurt under Schumacher's program, the next few years could be good...
There are clearly a lot of guys out there who have faster PRs than Bumbalough. But, there is reason to believe that Bumbi has a bigtime upside. I believe he was a pretty low mileage guy at G'town. Someone once told me he was only running 60 mpw all season when he ran 13:30. Obviously his health will be a limiting factor. But if he can stay on his feet for a whole year I think he will drop some significant time.
So, will Bumbi or Jager rule the roost?
Yeah, im somewhat of an insider. I know bumbalough was probably running less mileage than any of the other distance guy on the gtown team. a lot of time it seemed like they were just trying to avoid injury with him or dealing with some other sickness. Or since he had a lot of natural endurance they figured they would just tune him up for the big races. he probably got some consistent 70 mile weeks in, but a lot of his xc and track times were run off of 60 prob. Ive always thought if he could actually get in some more mileage and longer tempo runs, he would pop out pretty easily at the most elite level. he is very quick, but he has always stood out to me because of his natural endurance.
i think with a focus on development rather than all the championship meets of college, bumbi will have success getting the miles under his belt. I dont want to predict anything too fast for next spring because i am hoping they mainly focus on getting him stronger. But in 2 years i could see him in the low 13s.
...low 13s as in 13:01 to 13:06
