Hey. I happen to know that Mr. Carey is in fact a huge slayer of females. I heard that after Carey's 2nd place finish at DIII nationals it was said that a total of 6 girls at Johns Hopkins told him congratulations.

Oh and yeah it isn't a stretch he should win.

yes, hey may slay women, but is he the Triple Crown Award winner of 2012?

Stretch?

He won the third heat by half a second at Princeton in 1:50.12 and seemed to have run 3:48.5 completely by himself (based upon the difference in first and second place) at the Hopkins home meet. Coming off a second place finish in indoors , it doesn't seem like much of a stretch that he has a great chance at winning the 800.

You misunderstand. His nickname is stretch. Dead serious. Talked to him at indoor nationals.

SCOREBOARD

what's the deal with dan sullivan?

disappointing mile for horowitz at penn

disappointing 5k for crain at drake

impressive steeple for leDUCK

impressive 1500 depth for LAX

what else has been happening in the world of diii track

Word on the street is that Haverford and McDaniel are in the midst of a massive trade- Chris "Gustavus" Stadler and Charlie "Corgiman" Marquardt for 20 cases of Natural Ice, a ping-pong table, and three mediocre shot-putters to be named later. No word on whether or not the Centennial Conference will sign off on this move- if they impose restrictions, Marquardt and Stadler may be ineligible for the prestigious Greater Baltimore Last Chance Shootout (presented by Johns Hopkins University) two Saturdays from now.

What would you lace-curtain highfalutin east coast pansies do with 20 cases of natty light anyway?

sullivan - either redshirting for another chance at a title next year or not racing yet in order to save all his energy for an attempt at breaking 1:58 at a last chance meet

horowitz - probably doesnt care, he caught a big one on thursday

crain - will win both the 5k/10k, highlight of his life #midwestproblems

leduc - not a NESCAC record, not impressed

LAX - the rest of the country needs to start imitating their training regimen or get left in the dust of their Friday morning walks

in most important news, Tully Hannan's beer mile world record has been broken by a D3 alumni, Tully still has the Smirnoff mile record in 4:51. Expect big things from him soon:

Based on the .edu email address, we have just been visited by Tully Hannan himself. Rookie mistake, or intentional clue?

It sounds like Horowitz doesn't really care too much about this outdoor season. He said in an interview last month that he was probably going to attend his graduation instead of race at nationals.

Really? Looks to me like it was a PR for him and he beat a bunch of D1 guys.

rumor has it that horowitz stepped on a tack on the infield at Penn. probably out for the season. either way, he thinks he's smart enough to actually graduate, so no nationals. i'm surprised that he'd give up the most important thing in his life right now, seems pretty shellfish.

in other news, one of sullivan's posters of himself in his frat house basement triple is now hanging by only three tacks instead of four.

He ran just slightly faster than his nationals time indoors against a really good field. We expect a faster race when you aren't winning by 13 seconds

the women's 5k qualifying times are CRAZY this year (for d3, anyway). what's the deal?

with no horowitz in the 1500, either carey or ramos could win it easily. 9 times out of 10, the winner goes to the best kicker, and they clearly have better speed than the other milers. honestly, they probably have better odds than they do in the 800. not saying that they have bad odds in the 800, but they would be almost assured of winning the 1500.

first off, while there are rumors that horowitz is not going to run, I would hope that oshkosh/JH coaches are smart enough not to make nationals entry decisions based off of what they read on letsrun... only coby knows for sure whether or not he plans on running, and plans can change.

second, they can't both be almost assured of winning the 1500

third, ryan widzkowski has finished top 3 in 3 consecutive ncaas... the only people he's lost to are horowitz, sullivan, and schilit. dudes a beast, and clearly the favorite without horowitz or sullivan in the race

I will not be running at Nationals.

5k seems deeper than usual, 10k seems weak. Should be interesting to see how those change in the next week.
