Anthony Ortolan, UC Santa Barbara
Stephen Schroder, Navy
Alex Dillard, Portland
Scott Carpenter, Georgetown
Philo Germano, Syracuse

Of those guys the following are seniors, and therefore entering the real world next year:
Bryce McAndrew, North Texas
Caleb Rhynard, Michigan State
Tate Schienbein, Purdue
Anthony Ortolan, UC Santa Barbara
Stephen Schroder, Navy
Now its an elimination game. Which of these programs are notoriously weak (he is undertrained).
Bryce McAndrew was the team leader in the 1500 and the 5k and additionally no one broke 30 in the 10k this year, so a decent candidate.
Caleb Rhynard has a teammate who ran 29:20, and I know at least the girls program is good, so its probably not him.
Tate Schienbein is not the team leader in the 5k, and therefore means that he probably had reached his potential. Wouldn't complain about dopers when someone on his own team is better than him.
Anthony Ortolan is also from a pretty weak team. Don't know much about UCSB. Another potential candidate.
Finally, Stephen Schroder seems to have a weak team, but does have a teammate just under 30 for the 10k. I'd say potential candidate but less likely than the other 2.
Narrowed down to:
Bryce McAndrew
Anthony Ortolan
(maybe) Stephen Schroder
Kip Litton
14:06 is fast but barely Marathon pace

Nice words Tom, it sure is a nice way to make a life. And if you're simply working to pay the bills you can train a lot harder in your off time than most people would think. There are a lot of people running 14:06 sorta times on a full time work schedule.
Amen and double amen.
You're not going pro because 14:06 isn't fast enough to go pro.
since when does 14:06 land you a pro contract??????? lol...

I am very under trained but with the state of the sport I'm choosing adult life over pursuing a professional contract.
You're not going pro because you wouldn't even qualify for NCAA DI Regionals...

14:06 is noteworthy if you are a woman or a master's man. End of story.
Sexism and ageism exists in Track and Field to an extent not seen in almost any other profession. If the OP was a woman, he would be made a millionaire from the sport. As it is he cannot even earn a living from the sport. Shame on race organizers and IAAF for allowing the the sport to become this way.
Ahhh thanks doge. You have a connect for me?
