Did anyone see the quote of the day where German says, "Maybe it isn't my year."
Sounds like his confidence is totally shot. This guy's first love in HS was xc and he's never produced in college. Does anyone besides me think some of the blame goes to Dave Smith?
Freshmen year he ran the JV section of pre-nats then had the injury at ncaas. Last year, he is like 100th at NCAAs.
This year, they run a bunch of bogus meets.
German needs to run in a huge meet like prenats with lots of runners and realize he'll do well. Of course, i guess one could say if he ran in the big meet he'd lose and then lose the little confidence he already had.
