Griak Results Yet??????

What's so risky?? If he is physically ready, he could give up his redshirt and compete if needed.

Is Andrew Carlson still dating Julia Rudd?

He is running well, had a good break through in the 5km during track season.

Wisconsin Schmisconsin...How about Kiel Uhl from Dm Roosevelt running 15:32 in the HS 5K race, faster than Heath covered this course in last year? Major contender come FLMW time, maybe.

Kim Smith!!

Is it just me or is there very little response to the Griak results this weekend? I thought it was a very interesting set of results, Wisco looks like those years of plannign are gonna bear fruit as they lay down their marker for the year, while Butler surprises a lot of people with a great 2nd place and no message board coverage. What do you people think of these results, how good is Wisco, did they beat anybody, how good is Butler top 10 perhaps?

Wisconsin put three in front of Robert Cheseret of Arizona, Bernard Lagat's brother and generally considered the favorite for the title this fall (at the very least, a co-favorite)... however, it's tough to gauge much from the race because there weren't very many accomplished studs in the race. Sure, the ASU guy and Carlson of UM are good but still... last year the race had Kangogo, Cheseret, Gavin Thompson, etc. At the same time though, Wisco's 1-2-3 punch of Teg, Bairu and Solinsky is very good, so maybe the talent at the top this year wasn't really worse - just half of it was on Wisco's roster. Either way, those three guys looked to be in excellent form, putting all of their respective margins of distance on the ASU guy, Cheseret, Carlson, etc. in the last 2k. Specifically, Teg barely looked to be working hard and did not kick - the same of which can't be said for Bairu and Solinsky who seemed to be laboring a little at the end (but, for those guys... when don't they?) To tell you the truth, Cheseret did not look very smooth but it's still pretty early in the season.

After watching the way Wisco's top three runners manhandled that field Saturday, I'd say there may be a relatively large chance for a 1-2-3 finish at nationals for them... keep in mind I say relative. There are of course many other phenomenal runners out there (Cheseret, Hall, Meindl, Gonzales, McDougal, Willis, Brannen, Boit, Kiplagat, Smyth, etc.) and it is early still - I'm just saying that I think they have a better chance of doing it then Stanford did last year, i.e. Wisco's top three this year is better then Stanford's top three of last year, who was damn good.

The 5k course at Griak is the hardest of the courses there, too. a 15:32 is blazing given the steep-momentum killing hills and the turns.

having andrew sherman as the top guy from butler throws the entire earth off of its axis

i heard from a credible source that a few of the wisco runners are on EPO. there's is no way you can have so many guys running like that unless there is something shady going on. also...its very unlikely that a school would get that many runners unless some shady scholarship/money stuff is going on. its all a f***en conspiracy.

You are not the man. Yeah, great source. It's not "f***en."
