Lekote will Fall

Don't forget about Sam Burley.

on the street is that lekote will run some miles this year, and maybe even on a national level. they are also trying to get a dmr started with lekote as the mile leg.

Definately.. Burley too. Good call.

Nate Brennan..

trust me, as someone who knows Burley, if he left about 3 meters earlier he would have caught Lekote and we wouldn't be having this conversation. look at the straight-on finish photo where Lekote has the look of death on him and Burley is going all out on the outside

yea I bet Burley wins . He can kick much better than Lekote, and the fast pace doesn't seem to faze him at all.

What up Sam, I know u frequent this baord sometimes..

Look,

Being an ivy league guy myself, i'm always pulling for people in the league. I love to see guys do well on the national stage and sam's 2nd last year at ncaas was amazing. That being said, one needs to remember that he has never won a heps 800 meter crown (at least last year he didn't). He runs fast, but doesn't win.

Hopefully Brannen will run the mile. I think he's already better than webb but if not, i'd certainly pick him over burley.

Don't forget about Moise Joseph. he ran 1:45 outdoors last year. He's bound to break one eventually.

What are you talking about? Sam won outdoor heps 800 in 2001 not to mention outdoor 1500m last year.

i'm just starting to realize exactly how talented the 800m field will be this year. should be amazing.

maybe.

I still think Lekote will be King.

The guy seems to have a stubborness about winning, that will be very difficult to overcome for the competitors.

Is he DI?

Johnson didn't train last fall and still ran well. He is getting a full dose of fall training under him--Kittley will have him ready. The kid can flat out fly--watch him on the mile relay.

Moise Joseph had a very solid cross-country season and should be that much stronger to take on Lekote. Joseph runs on the Gators premiere 4x400m relay team and also has the strength to run a solid 26 min 5 miles xc course and a 33min 10k xc course. He will be Lekote greatest challenger and will run against him several times in 2003.

lekote owns the 800, all coaches and athletes know it and believe it. he just bleeds everyone out, last year he had johnson, joseph, burley, brannen, sylvestor and all runners with the look of death as you call it. he will not lose, it might be close but he will win. where is this coming from anyway/ he has dominates since freshman year and he is no granville, he will only get better. he'll win outdoors in 1:43.92 and everyone else will just be burned. go lekote!

At heps Burley got second behind Trinity Gray as a freshman in 148.21, came back off of a stress fracture to win as a sophmore, and tripled as a junior in the 1500, 800 and 4x4 with the 1500 and 800 45 minutes apart for both prelims and finals. He won the 1500, got second in the 800, and then ran a 47 flat in the winning 4x4 with the meet tied and the team title on the line. I think he can handle the pressure.
