Sorry, but those guys DO suck compared to 26:22, 2:04 and 12:33, and the American's ARE evolving...the evolution just gets lost among the hyper-mutation of the East African REVOLUTION of today. As far as taking your kids to track practice...it's your retirement plan: I'm putting a golf club in my kid's hand.

I think you need this mile vs. world cross thing drilled into your head more. Read this log:
http://www.bunnhill.com/BobHodge/TrainingLogs/scott1981.htmSteve Scott's 81-82 log. He only did one XC race, the TAC one. I can't remember if the TAC race was used as the trials of world cross or not, but if they were (and judging from the comp. it looks like they were) Steve Scott had to have denied his spot if he were sixth. By your logic, Steve Scott is a wuss.
Secondly, let's assume that it wasn't a qualifier and he didn't bail. Your other argument is that guys who run indoors (Myers, etc) should run cross anyway. And the same with guys like Fam or decided to run the USA road champs races. According to Steve's log he went to NZL did some track races there and then came back during World Cross time (March) and did a road 10k. This is quite similar to what a lot of US guys today are doing, the same ones you are calling out for not running cross. This should show that not everyone does world cross or has it in their plans. And look how Steve did, he had one of his best seasons! If you are going to call Myers or Fam on this, then you have to call Scott.
As for Broe, that's your own beef. It looks like guys in the 80s got spots and denied them. Go back and hack on them too. Or change the name of the thread to "Broe and whoever else are wusses" but don't call out all the other guys...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Good Post...but back then there was the TAC in the fall & then you had to come back and run the National trials. The TAC meet used to be open to anyone...what a great run for a miler -- did you see the company he kept? Thus Steve never went out for the team in Jan-Feb-March ..whenvever they hold the trials. I'm not going to put him on the Broe List because he didn't tease....
If you run across links that depict who ran the trials and who ran the Worlds then I'll be happy to call them out as well.
I'll leave your comparing Scott to Fam & Meyers alone in respect to your excellent post. Thanks for the link.

Someone has to hold the athletes accountable for letting down the team and their country. I like your idea.....maybe..Weak Sister Society.

The Coach who cares wrote:Exactly you nitwit. NATIONAL cross country. Broe competed in NATIONAL cross country just like a number of other Americans did. Simply because they've chosen not to run in one meet doesn't mean they are not competing in XC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The meet they choose to skip -- the World XC Championships. Where the greatest gather to represent their country and participate in the toughest race in the world says a lot about their patriotism and what's between their legs. Your post tells me what's missing between your ears there Barney.
How does it say anything about their patriotism nitwit?

Coach Barney, thanks for repeating what Californian posted earlier...keep those original thoughts coming.
Then why did you ask what Myers was doing a second time clown?

I don't think any of them ran World XC. Certainly not often if they did.
