No list like this is complete without the Rosa twins. They were Stanford's big catch. What happened?

The Rosas ran unattached at the Stanford Invite and are looking quite splendid.

That kid from Coker college Brandon Cain has ran really good in Highschool he bound to make a breakthrough cause he just recently got good. His team mate Dylan Bates is practicing good also. Both of these runners have really put in alot of miles in over the summer. These guys are not known yet but they are peaking for nats.

Running unattached for them would be natural because there is no reason at that point to make the RS/no-RS choice. The next stage of meets, with travel etc. will force more decisions.

Brandon Cain is the next Prefontaine.

Joe is looking "quite splendid" with a 13th place, 24:33 8K finish (on a fast 8K course). Jim, at 41st place, and a 24:52, is looking respectable, but nothing to write home about.

This may be lost in the sea of posts, but University of Iowa's Jeff Thode. He has run in their opener with 19:06 6k. Slightly disturbing as he ran for the team (didn't redshirt), and last year he ran an 18:46 in the same conditions. He has yet to run again, passing up their invitational (understandable, it was against the University of Northern Iowa), as well as Griak.

For a 3:58 miler, all american in cross country, and in his junior year this is puzzling

I thought Girma was out of OSU?

24:33 is "quite splendid" but 19 seconds back is "nothing to write home about". Seems like the gap is pretty much as it always was between these two.

reed connor and mohammed ahmed/maverick darling from wisconsin, whoever is their second by seasons end. i think they'll be a good 1-2 punch. wisco for the team title.

Does anyone know what happened to Adam Vess?

I know Reed was the lead runner in Oregon, but I still think he is the #5 guy on the team (he has probably narrowed the gap to the top four), Collins and Krause are both probably ahead of Reed, which might be a scary thought for everyone but OSU, who seem to have their own beastly top guys. I can see Wisconsin scoring under 100 points are NCAAs -- and still being behind OSU.
