Distance Signings? - Who is going where?

The early signing period is over.

Brent Vaughn - Smoky Hills HS from Denver - is going to run for the Buffs! He will make their top 7 for sure next year I think. With the Torres's and Slatt gone, there will be plenty of spots!

Will Tim Lacy (1:53) run cross country for the Badgers?

Are the Badgers bringing anyone else in for cross country? I agree they might beat Stanford next year if Solinsky makes a big impact. But Stanford was the best team by far this year!

Bobby Curtis: Villanova

I wouldn't say that there will be too many spots left over, what with Nelson, Severy, Schoolmeester and Batliner returning from the top-7, as well as Ritz. They also have Stephen Pifer (a FL finalist) coming in from Illinois, and I'm sure that Wetmore has some good runners on JV. Colorado won't contend for a team title next year, but they'll be good.

Brian Dalpiaz will join Matt Debole at Georgetown.

Nef Aria and the Trotter twins from NJ will be at Stanford.

Megan Owen (CT) will join Kaltenbach at UNC.

I think a better prediction for top freshman next year for the Buffs-- Ian Burell. He broke Vaughn at the state meet--made like 15 seconds on him in the last 200m. No joke. They both essentially ran 9 flat in the 3200 this spring (9:18-:20 at altitude), I bet they are going to try to break 9:00 at altitude this year.

9:18-9:20 = 9:00-----9:00 = 8:40-8:42? Ain't happenin'

iirc, most of this stuff is reported on dyestat.com

That's a real big might at this point.

Anyone know of any other Big 12 early signings other than Colorado?

Who does Oklahoma State have coming in? Woolhouse still has another year, correct? But most of the rest were Seniors I thought.

How about Texas or Texas A&M or Nebraska?

Texas, Oklahoma State, and Nebraska better get recruiting as a good number of their top 5 runners are Seniors!

Anyone know of any oral commitments?

Looking for help...thanks...Big 12er

what happend to Amber Trotter from last year? i haven't heard about her in a long time.

Don't forget -- Stanford put FOUR guys in front of Wisco's #1, so even if Solinsky wins the NCAA next year, they'll need lots of improvement to beat the Cardinal.

Amber Trotter is at Middlebury College. She didn't run this cross season.

I didn't know that Burrell had made his decision yet? Apparently CU doesn't have much money to offer him after signing Vaughn and Pifer. Vaughn did beat Burrell at FL midwest, though both were sick and didn't run up to their potential. They've had some great battles, for sure, but Vaughn is equally as good and Ian and has beaten him more times than not (tied 2-2 in state titles). Don't forget that Vaughn ran 9:06 last year at AOC!

Amber Trotter didn't run or didn't race? Did she redshirt?

I don't know if Trotter ran at all, but she didn't race.

I would find it hard to believe that CU doesn't have a good amount of money being freed up next year with the Torres bros and Slattery leaving. I'm sure that is quite a bit of cash they have to offer out this year.

she did not race. as far as ive know she dropped off the face of the earth and is just a student now. what a waste, i heard that the other DI schools did not want to recruit her because of her eating disorder and she just didnt care too much after cross country as far as I know. i guess we will be left to wonder. she killed molly huddle by about a minute at footlocker and huddle was 6th at cross country nationals this year. ouch

No, he hasn't signed with anybody, but he wants to go to CU. His grades aren't good enough for Stanford I geuss, but CU didn't sign him, though they did sign Vaughn. Hopefully they'll wisen up and get him soon. I know the times that Vaughn has run, but I think Burrell has his number.

How can you say that Burrell has Vaughn's number when Vaughn won the last time the two raced? Yeah it was only by a split second, but at least Brent made an attempt to make the footlocker finals, running in 10-14th for much of the race, wheras Ian was in 30-40th most of the race! Sure Ian got Brent at state cross (and convincingly so), but last track season they each one a title at the state track meet, with the other taking second each time. And who could forget Brent running down Ian with a 4:17 mile split at Liberty Bell in the DMR or when Brent overcame Ian's 18 second lead at state cross last year to win the title! Ian definitely does NOT have Brent's number!! By my estimation Brent has a 4-2 advantage in their last six races!
