Agree 100% with your comment except with respect to Colleen Quigley who is as American as apple pie. Unethical coaches, e.g., the Western Kentucky guys and a few others are importing professional level foreign runners, of indeterminate age to completely destroy the amateur American college running scene. In some even more outrageous cases, it is happening at he high school scene (St Benedicts, for starters). It is simply an abomination and a slap in the face of every Real American American. This needs to be taken up by the officials at the NCAA. We are witnessing the destruction of the American amateur running scene at both the college and high school level. Period. For starters, no non-US citizen should be eligible to compete in the American amateur high school or college running circuits until they become citizens, and then only after they have lived here for minimum five years. There should also be an upper age limit on competing in NCAA college running circuit, e.g., 24. Some of the foreigners running in college are well above this age limit. It is plain and simple unethical. Discuss.

i copied the wrong one(girls race), my mistake..

I was wondering the same thing after seeing the results from Louisville.

"Will there be any American's in the top 10"

Don't leave us in suspense: Will there be any American's WHAT in the top ten?

And which American (that this thing belongs to) are we talking about?

the title clearly read at NCAAs (DI - men)

Dude, I think he was mocking you for having used an apostrophe to make a plural. The way you had it, it looks like you're tlaking about something that belongs to an American--and then Raa wanted to know what that thing was.

Yeah, not exactly clear or clever. Anyway, don't use apostrophes to make plurals. More than one American is just "Americans."

You'd be way more bent out of shape if you did some research on the Trinity College squash team.
