    Diego Estrada of NAU might just be the dirtbag of the NCAA after his performance at the Stanford Invitational. Estrada decided to go straight to the back of the 10k on Friday night and then as the race unfolded and people started falling off the pace Estrada would pass them and let out a sarcastic "Good job" to each and every runner who fell off. As if this wasn't enough of a demonstration of the lack of a bonafide effort by Estrada he then let out about an 11 second last 100 on the homestretch to claim 5th. The display was shallow and disgraceful and I'm almost glad that such an arrogant athlete will eventually pay the price once he has to race the likes of Kithuka.

    As described by the OP the bulk of his behavior took place well before he lost the race. I'm gonna have to call BS on the story.

    OP - Unless you can produce a video of the race complete with audio confirming your reporting, you my friend are a liar.

    If you've ever met Diego (or heck, even listened to a Flotrack interview with the guy), "arrogant" would be the last word you'd ever use. The dude is one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. If he was giving encouragement to those he passed, it was genuine.

    I saw the race.

    He went to the back, and moved to the lead of the chase pack for most of the race.

    I was kind of surprised that a guy with his "credentials" didn't make more of an effort sooner.

    HOWEVER, I completely doubt this story.

    Was in the warmup area putting on my spikes next to him and he was given clear instructions to run 70s for the first 5k-6k and then see how he felt. He didn't make it a secret either as he was asking around for people who wanted to work together. Goal was simply to get a qualifying mark. So yeah.... calling bullshit.

    re: StanfordWitness

    Why would you assume he was being sarcastic? (Assuming the story is true.) Sounds like he was trying to encourage people and it sounds like his goal for the race was to get in a medium effort and put in a just fast enough time. why the hate.
