I am tired of Boaz.
I am tired of people who are feeling sorry for Boaz and his loss at his conference meet.
I am tired of the people who are giving Gavin a hard time for celebrating a victory in the MAC Champs.
Gavin Thompson, was the individual MAC champion. He finished in 23:50, a new MAC Championship and course record. Stop trying to put an astrick by his win. Boaz went the wrong way, Gavin didn't. It's not like Gavin didn't run fast!! Come on a course record! He deserved to come across the line pumping his fist in the air, who cares if his teammate went astray.
The whole Boaz situation is shaddy anyway. I mean the guy is 24 years old. He was tired of getting his ass kicked my his fellow country men in Kenya so he comes to the states and runs here!!!?? It is the equivalant of a High School Senior trying to run middle school track races. Sure the HS kid will dominate! But Who Cares!! I want to see what the middle school kids can do against their peers. Sure the Middle school kids times won't be as fast as a High Schoolers, but that doesn't make the middle schoolers acomplishments less worthy!
Gavin was top dog at EMU and the MAC until a professional runner comes on the scence, he deserves to be bitter. But Boaz is the bitter one:
"I just want to forget about it," he says, still dumbfounded. "It was so bad," he says, insisting that course marshals directed him the wrong way. "In my heart, I can't forgive it."
"IN MY HEART, I CAN'T FORGIVE IT!!" COME ON BOAZ, YOU ARE A 2 TIME NATIONAL CHAMP!! CUT THE DRAMATICS!
I hope Torres wins NCAAs. I hope somehow, someway Gavin beats Boaz at Regions and NCAAs too. And even if Gavin is 102nd and Boaz 103rd in Indiana, I hope Gavin comes across the line pumping his fist like he's just won the damn race, just because he is one place in front of his teammate Boaz.
