This could change the math a little bit. Mick Byrne commenting on Mo Ahmed's possible redshirt:

“Every young kid dreams about representing their country in the Olympics,’’ Byrne said. “To be realistic, what you want out of Mohammed going forward into the Olympic Games is to go out and just absorb the whole experience and enjoy it. Down the road, if we spend the next 12 months in just getting stronger, he can go faster. He’s got to be given the opportunities and put in the races to go faster.’’

That will be the next stage, though Byrne acknowledged it’s hard right now to look too far ahead.

“What do we do when he comes back (to Wisconsin)?’’ he posed. “Is there a recovery process? Our (cross country) season starts right away, so do we redshirt him and get him ready for a year down the road? If we do that, it’s certainly going to affect our team.’’

Byrne recited the UW’s proud tradition and history of success in cross country, including last season’s NCAA championship.

“He (Ahmed) has a role to play in all of that,’’ he went on. “He has a role to play in the future of this team this year. But I’m going to look at this recovery process; I’m going to look at what’s best for him because, ultimately, what’s best for him is going to be best for the team.’’

It's cool of Byrne to be thinking of Ahmed's future and not just what he can get out of him this season.
