MIAC Track 2015

Actually, I'm pretty sure that had nothing to do with the difficulty of doubling. The only valid claim there is tripping people up, of which he got tripped the most himself because of inconsistent pacing on his part. It's also hard to keep an even pace when you're injured.

Personally, I think it was pretty ballsy and not entirely out of his range if he was healthy, the move he made. Kudos to him.

What double are you talking about? Running prelims and finals is not doubling. Running two different events is doubling.

+1

Running any amount of events when you're injured is difficult. His Westmont triple displays what he's capable of. 1:52 the first day, then 1:55, 1:51, and 49.5 the second day. Let's not act like that was him at his best. If the only thing you're going to call me out on is my misuse of the word "doubling", then you should leave.

Jerry, you're a good runner. No one is denying that. No need to defend yourself. It just makes you look bad.

How did Paul do?

Better question is, what meet did he even run?
