It looks like king ches is doing the DMR. The oregon training staff and Andy Powell were waiting for him track side after the 5k ended. THey helped untie his spikes and put on his trainers and off he went!!
The awards lady said, "He needs to go to awards for the 5k now." they told her, "He has another race.""
?????
"Man, Easton is using you up. He's using for the 2, the 4, and now the relays. You need to say something, Billy."
Well done, rojo
That was pretty amazing from Ches. 3:52 30mins after winning the 5k. nuts.
If you don't think there's something untoward going on with Andy Powell's runners, you are delusional. Not only do they all look unhealthy, but they always run out of their heads at the NCAA Championship.

Strange definition of unhealthy you have. They look super fit to me.
I'm still curious, why did they need to run ches and why was it a game time decision? (well, they said it was going to be game time, maybe they knew all along)
Where would they likely have finished without ches?
So he's doping, right? He has to be...

I hope your joking or trolling. Andy has a great system passed down to him from Vin. Like Vin, he works with great talent, and know me how to set a high standard or expectation without getting all excited about things and blowing up mid season. This require a level of confidence and commitment not understood by many, and it is certainly helped but the enormous talent pool and the precedent that is set before them. They treat it as a business, not cheer leading tryouts. They don't ride the motions high and low roller coaster, but instead stay steadfast in their goals and expectations.
Trolling, no doubt. Either that or pretty stupid. Andy Powell and Robert Johnson have been playing with other people's minds again. The Oregon coaches not only know how to get peak performances out of their athletes, but they also know how to psyche out the opposition. I agree with you in that they keep everyone on an even keel and confident of their skills -- the stuff that makes national champions. I had to chuckle about that Washington runner in the DMR. Two weeks ago he ran the race of his career in a nothing meet...today, the King handled him with no problem.
