Brooks Beasts call out OTC and NJ*NY TC on Twitter

yeah, they would probably put in Merber and Alexander. I would favor NJNY in that 4x8

I'm fairly certain Aman is no longer with OTC. In any case, I haven't seen him race in an OTC jersey - or race at all - for some time now.

Aman has not been with OTC since late 2014. Wheating is no longer with them, and would be surprised if Mulder and Greer were either.

who the hell IS in OTC then? Jesus

No, he is not on their roster.

I know you just looked up their pb's, but come on, most of those mentioned can't TOUCH their pb's.

Symmonds, no matter how many times he says it, is NOT and will never be in 1:42 shape again. Same for Aman, Wheating, Mulder or Greer. IDK how you even found Dustin Emrani- he hasn't run 146 for easily six years, maybe more.

No one said they could.

then what is the point in listing pb's for a hypothetical race? those aren't they guys that would compete.

Let's be frank.

If the NOP showed up and trained for this -- game over. I don't care if they're 800 runners or not, but Jenkins, Centro and Farah will beat any of those matchups when it comes right down to it. Those three could all be world class 800 runners if they decided to be. Rupp leads it off with a modest 1:48, and then the hunt is on and it's over by the time Farah has whoever in his crosshairs on the final backstretch.

You know what, sub Rowbury for Rupp. Spot em all another 10 seconds. Now that would be a race. Nevertheless, I'll still take Rowbury over Symmonds if they're both lead off.

Why not just add a 5th guy and show up in Tallahassee this Saturday morning...?

Just throwing this out there.....

Who tf cares? You could offer to pay people $20/each and maybe get 100 to show.

I'd take the Bowerman guys over the orpjt.

Rupp is a marathoner now, even with centro they'd lose if rupp was on.

Hill, Jager Hughes, lomong would beat them.

Andrew Osagie joins OTC. What would their 4x800 team be now?

Jock

Abda

Osagie

Greer?

Osagie is still running? His 2016 sb was a 2:06 and his 2015 was a 1:49...

Injury?

THIS IS HAPPENING.

Central Park TC, Big Bear, NJ*NY, Brooks Beasts, and a team with Robby Andrews - any idea who is gonna be in Robby Andrew's group?

My guess, based off of who works with Vig & friends (for the little I know):

Robby Andrews

Peter Callahan

Anthony Kostelac

Clayton Murphy (friends with Andrews from Rio)

Just a thought. Big Bear has Dusty Solis to pair with Berian, probably a few others who could form an OK squad. My money's on NJ*NY if aforementioned guys like Merber & Co. can put a little winter work towards it.

If we're going with each groups' true 800m specialists, Brooks Beasts FTW. Pretty sure that covers the majority of their men's side.

Does it look like the OTC will field a team? I hope so.

This would be fun to watch.

Let's be frank. NOP is dirty so I could care less to see them in the race.I would rather see a bunch of road racers from HOKA's Flagstaff team in a 4x800, at least I know what I'm watching is real talent and real coaching.

CPTC excuse me if I'm out of the loop but do they really have 4 guys who could run 1:50 indoors?
