    re: that's me

    The negativity around this is pathetic.

    Yes, OF COURSE we all know that 30 seconds is a long, long way to improve in a mile (particularly from 4:13 to the WR), but this is COVERAGE of our sport, which we continuously complain is undercovered.

    If "30 seconds from the world record" was the hook a reporter used to make Joe Reader care about a guy running in circles, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH THAT?

    A few thousand real runners (including him) know he has a way to go, and the rest of the world reads about a guy working hard and chasing his goals. Sounds OK to me.

    this article is written about 20 cadets that are well above average academically, and most likely top graduate at the top of their class. The intent is to point out cadets that have a ridiculous GPA while also doing amazing things on the outside. Like it was stated before, there are a handful of better runners and athletes at West Point, but very few have achieved in the classroom, in leadership positions, and in competition like this guy.

    Job well done cadet. Don't be embarrassed by this, but instead use it as motivation to become even better. Let's see a 4:08 this indoor season, and above all else, beat Navy!

    She speaks Mandarin Chinese. Similar to Mandarin French[/quote]

    There's more than one major Chinese dialect, so there's nothing wrong with specifying "Mandarin" Chinese. Anybody who knows anything about China knows this. Evidently you don't.
