I would actually like to second that. And say he doesn't perform to those expectations, he has an insane amount of potential heading to Georgetown. Runs very minimal mileage (I believe less than 40 miles a week), has a great deal of speed (closing in on 1:50 probably at about 1:52 pr right now). And can clearly still hang with the fastest distance runners his age right now (Vertiz and Nowak are two of the best in Texas right now, although maybe a down year).
Now add the fact that he's got the genes.
There hasn't been enough pr surrounding this kid, which I personally like, but you can quote me now, if his heart is in it, he will tear up the college mid-d scene.[/quote]
not to be picky, but Bile has run 1:50 before, so I would say he's got some of the best speed at footlocker. That being said, i'd like to agree with you and the previous poster in that Bile will give Futsum a run for 2nd place, especially on that course in San Diego. of course being from Virginia i have some bias, but hey, that doesn't mean im not right.
