Did Anderson and Maton? If they get injured, or are clearly running terribly, than sure. But it doesn't seem like Oregon automatically redshirts their top frosh. I'm not convinced Tamagno or Thomet will be all that good at the 8k or 10k, but I have east coast bias from watching Hunter.

I think Tamagno is going to do just fine at the 8K. He ran 24:23 on a USATF certified 8k road course this past February before his junior track season. 43 seconds ahead of Philip Rocha. I believe it was a course record, although I'm sure Rocha still thinks it's soft.

Any word on where Rocha will go?

I think Hunter will improve on that 1:52 quite a bit this year if he has the opportunity. He ran very few 800's outdoors last season and none fresh. He also ran 2:28 indoors last year for 1000 meters, and looked like a 5000 guy doing it. That's a pretty good 1000 time for someone who was running no hard intervals at the time at all.

I don't think he will. Could he? Yeah, sure. But it's far more likely he forgoes the 800 entirely. I'm actually not sure he breaks 4 next year. I think tinman, who helps his mom with some coaching, will push for aerobic development over an attempt for high school glory. He might break 8:30, and almost certainly will break 14, but I don't know that he breaks 4.

I don't know...I think his parents see the value of developing his speed, which is why he ran some 800's, 4x400's, and more mile/1600 last year than 3200's. But they won't sacrifice his aerobic development to chase fast 800 times. As for the 5000, he would have to find an open race to do that- probably not going to happen against high school competition. It will be interesting to see what meets he runs in outdoors.
