Ha, ha, ha. No fricking chance in hell unless they dress up like women, which they do in their spare time.

Mike Morgan, a 2 time Olympic Trials Qualifier is indeed from Lincoln, Nebraska, and Robert Scribner hails from Tupelo, Mississippi. So you can scratch those two states off of this very uninformed list.

I'm thinking one male and one female from Nebraska will be in after Chicago. They'll be wearing the Red & White of Team Nebraska Brooks.

Really?

Those listed are just post-collegiates

that went to school in R.I.

You're saying they run as a club

rather than another sponsor, club or country?

Are the foreign women planning on marrying

an American so they can represent the U.S.?

Would love to see "your runners" at a USATF

club championship.

Besides Molly H...

Which ones have a U.S. OT qualifier?

One female from Nebraska already qualified for OT at Chicago in 2010.

The fastest female runner from Nebraska was 2:59:xx and the fastest male from Nebraska was 2:34:xx. Nebraska still has no qualifiers.

She doesn't live in Nebraska. She has moved to greener pastures. She grew up in Nebraska and moved to a state with better running conditions (which my guess is about anywhere). This proves the original point of the OP.

Wrong again, as it has already been posted, Mike Morgan is from Nebraska and is qualified for his second Olympic Trials.

Mike Morgan is with Hanson's in Michigan. He is originally from Nebraska but has not trained there in at least 6 years.

You are a complete idiot. Mike Morgan WAS from Nebraska. He IS from Michigan. You are further proving the OP's point that runners will migrate from states with lousy running conditions to states with good running conditions.

And then it was 12 states.Abigail Swift ran an impressive 2:43:xx at Long Beach to take Delaware off the list.

WGAF ? Unless you medal at a major marathon, Summer Olympics, or IAAF Outdoor World Champs, you are just another Steve Prefontaine COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA ;-)

I think you posted in the wrong thread. The thread you should have been posting in is "Everybody Hates You For Many Good Reasons."

After this weekends Cal International Marathon, Nebraska has added 2 more runners to the Olympic Trials Marathon.

122 Lickteig, Kaci 92 F 25 F25-29 4/350 13/2478 Omaha NE 2:44:15 6:17 2:44:14 36:34 1:22:12 2:05:34

135 Easley, Bridget 182 F 30 F30-34 4/392 20/2478 Lincoln NE 2:44:58 6:18 2:44:57 36:35 1:22:12

These 2 women and Mike Morgan on the men's side give the great state of Nebraska 3 qualifiers, all the sudden, Nebraska is a hot bed for Qualifiers.

Typical Nebraskan...you've clearly been waiting for the last two months for this opportunity as the inferiority complex stewed. I can't blame you, I know it must get irritating for your state to come up EVERY time a "worst places to run" thread pops up though. Congratulations to two hard working women, no doubt. They've earned this. Now, if they want their careers to go somewhere (especially if the standard is ever raised to the equivalent of the men's), time to get the hell out, just like Mike Morgan did a LONG time ago. However, ambition isn't a common cornhusker trait. To Easley & Lickteig: Get out while you're still young & have a chance! Or maybe this is a troll, knowing how much shit you're going to stir...
