I know someone who was one of the top freshman middle-distance runners in the country last year(not the best, but among the group). He's maybe looking to transfer, not necessarily because he is upset with the program, but for other reasons. Who has some money opening up next year(50-100%), and where is a good place to go that is good in track(distances) as well as cross?
1:48 Razorback?
no it's not ahmed, hatch, taylor, or stevens(i think they all went 1:48 which is nuts)
I heard at region that Alabama may be getting a solid transfer, but not sure who or when. Maybe this is the same rumor.
On another board it mentioned that the Guiney twins from BC were looking to transfer and not necessarily to the same school. Any truth to this? If so, any word on where?
This post in vague to say the least. We do have money and are a major Div. I program, just hard to contact someone that is a mystery man. Give me more details or contact information.
bringing up the hogs, i heard mcdonnell might retire, any truth? could mean a lot of transfers
It's UT's Mark Sylvester.
the original post said he wasn't THE best, and if you are going specifically by that, then it can't be Sylvester as he was the top 800m freshman
He wasnt the top 800m freshman...He was the third behind Johnson and Brannen.
i also heard that bama will be getting a very solid runner either this spring or next fall. look out for two solid guys to run for lsu this track season as well.
I stand corrected...in that case, who knows.
So how about some more information MOVER????
I can't say too much more since he may not want to transfer, he's just looking into it. Basically every school probably would give the guy money(exception maybe Stanford). I know guys from just about every school get on this board and was looking for information. If there is someplace that might sound like a good fit, he'll contact them.
no one is going to throw you a school without info mover
McDonnell is not retiring any time soon. Alistair Cragg still has a full year until 2004, and I'm sure he'll stay until he's done. He is, afterall, the best 5K runner that Arkansas has ever had.
There has always been speculation about Coach Mac leaving, and he always stays because he fields a great team year after year, and it's hard to leave when you're at the top. Also, because he has a great individual (usually a miler type) that he wants to guide through the finish of his career at Arkansas(first it was Hood, then Seneca, then Travis, now Alistair).
It's like the Godfather III..."Every time I try to leave, they keep dragging me back in!"
The guiney twins info is half right. Redshirting a year and graduating in 4 years means there's extra eligibility if they choose to go to grad school, which at least one of them is looking into seriously.
By the way, we're talking about a young man who wants to transfer. Looking at the razorbacks the may have the most stacked 800m squad in the country with Mulvaney, Stevens, Ahmed, Taylor, Hatch, Aargard... Man! What a training group. Interested in looking at going there? I am sure John MacDonell would be happy to hand out money to anyone that could score for him at NCAA's, they sure do need every extra point they can get. Perhaps this is a good time to sneak a scholarship out of the hand of the Boss of track and field, Mr. Mac himself.

How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?

Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
