I see every race from that day except the one everybody actually wants to view. Is the boys 3A race hiding from me?

There was an error in the 3A Boys race video as it was initially uploaded, but it is being fixed and will be re-uploaded soon.

Anderson is going to get injured and won't run well at FLW, in fact he won't even be there.

Always seems like BM to troll saying some kid is going to get injured (or to make fun of the fact that another runner actually DID get injured). Notable though that Anderson already has been injured - he was nursing a bad hip for the last couple weeks, didn't feel great until Thursday.

Borderclash Anderson vs. Maton... should be interesting.

Maton beat Rupp's record so I doubt this will be very close...

I don't think Anderson vs. Maton will be close, but for other reasons (NC guys usually don't treat BC as anything more than a tempo workout - see last year as a perfect example).

Maton and Dressel will probably go at it though, just like last year - they won't be running NXN-NW next week, and have a week to rest before FLW, so there's no real reason not to. I imagine Maton will have the advantage there, but you never know...

My take on this is that this is the year of the boys. last year everyone was (rightfully) gushing over cain, baxter, cranny, efraimson.

Now there's fisher, tamagno, ostberg, maton, and anderson. Sure, they're not pro-level like cain, cranny and efraimson (all sub 4:11 1500 PRs) but, these 5 are running ridiculously fast xc times and taking down, or nearing, the CR of big names.

So says Mr. BM himself.

Lindgren, mothertrucker. Get schooled.

That Jodee Adams-Moore reference is an all-timer.

She was an all-timer.

I would put her on Kiter's level. A legend who appeared at a low-point in the XC swing.

She is doing extremely well on the ultra circuit nowadays:

Anderson actually led Dressel by a step at the mile in 4:43. Dressel then opened up a twenty meter gap by two miles, which Tanner then reeled in. Considering Dressel has a very good kick (FLN '13), I was surprised he tried this tactic. It will be interesting to see what he does at FLN'14

All-timer in other ways.

What happened to JAM? She went from this:

to this:

She's only 32, dang.

This article implies she got after the party scene after she graduated, and is now living a fairly crunchy lifestyle, so I could see why the difference between the two pictures.

Still, she was a legend to us eastside teams, who got to see her a few times a year and maybe at camp if we were lucky.

She was a legend to us running on the west too man. We viewed as equal to, if not hotter than Felnagle, but JAM was a year or two older than me... thus even more unattainable and more hot.

Not as legendary as the man to sleigh the JAM though, Mr. Chris Lukezic, balling out of control. Seriously, this is just legendary pimp status, no matter what she looks like now.

west side* that is

Total granola burnout now:

Thanks Georgetown, thanks for ruining the JAM.
