Wisconsin, just like dad. Kid's a stud.

Go Rohrer! Indiana, baby!

Anderson was 15 seconds ahead of Dressel at WA state. Fisher was 15 seconds ahead of Dressel today. Therefore if Anderson had run footlocker it would have come down to a final sprint between Anderson and Fisher with a slight edge to Anderson because he has better form.

Dressel ran better at State than he did here. Fisher and Anderson both have great form. Fisher has a better kick. Anderson would have either won or gotten second here, I'd say. It wouldn't have been the same race.

Here we go again. This is pointless or trolling or both.

At least we'll get to see them all get wrecked by Cheserek at NCAAs next year

Yeah, but Cheserek is seven years older than Fisher.

Sorry WA fanboys, Fisher just showed everyone what a true national champion looks like (again). Winning in dominant fashion after a decisive move. Going away. Not barely hanging on. He didn't even go to the well out there.MI now has 7 boys national champions. It trails CA by just one, which built up a giant state lead by winning 6 of the first 12 titles.WA will get one someday I'm sure. To be honest though, the surest way might be to convince Fool Locker and Nike to end their meets, and just use the watchout XC rankings to determine the best in the nation. Hahahaha

Hey America, how does feel to know that a Canadian is your national cross country champion?

Remember that guy that came on here and said Maton was over-rated and everyone gave him crap? Guess he was right.

No one cares. Hell, over-age Africans have won it a bunch of times. lol

rather disappointing race overall... only 7 boys under 15:20 but props to Fisher who just sat on the lead pack then beasted to the finish

Guessing the course was soft and slow from the rain. Anyone at the race that can comment?

I know right? He only ran a 4:03 mile last year, 3rd at FL last year, broke Galen Rupps state XC record by 10 secs and had beaten some good runners this year.... He was clearly running better this year (until today).

I'm curious what happened, on a normal day he would have been in the mix at the end, beating fisher seemed unlikely but top 3 again seemed quite reasonable... bummer to focus everything on this and not have it work out.

I had high hopes as he was clearly peaking for the "after season", thought it was promising he didn't win regional like last year, showed he had learned what is important...

Nope. They specifically mentioned the dust kicking up on the live webcast and how the course was in good condition.

they laid out sand at the bottom of the hill just so it wouldn't be a mud pit... i know the feed was choppy but were you perhaps on LSD at the time?
