      • I would've thought a guy that ran sub 4/7:46/13:18 in a joke of a college program at NE would improve a lot more under Oregon/NOP.

      • He's got a minor injury at the moment. The race director at the Gate River Run said he dropped out a day or two before the race, and dropped out of his following race as well.

        That's not much off of the trajectory that he was already on, at supposedly significantly better programs.

      • Eric had a really good 2017 but not great in 2018 and nowhere to be seen in 2019 yet. Thought he was on track to break 13:00 but we will have to see. Not training with the OP group in Beaverton.

        So it sounds like some would expect him to be a sub 13 min guy by now.
