We've decided to send a 2nd person to World XC. LRC, meet Matt Crowe.
Matt never came close to 15:00 in college but now he's a 13:57 guy dreaming of the 13:30s. The story of how he got there, going from 15:40 in college to 13:57, is incredible.

This is epic. Love the story, good luck to the man. Gonna be fun to hear how it all goes. USA!
This is far and away the coolest thing letsrun has done. Awesome. Way to step up to the plate and put your money where your mouth is. And give an opportunity to lesser known runners.
Come on. You aren’t really sending him. He’s already in the UK.
good job brosjo
Congrats to him, the woman from Dallas, and hats off to the Brojos for a creative and cool idea.

He's gonna WIN
Okay... this is just epic! This Matt Crowe dude is an absolute maniac who doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks. I love it! For those of you who haven't read the article, I highly recommend reading the whole thing. It is extremely well written and entertaining, though Matt's story pretty much writes itself. Go Matt!
I think people when they get out of college they think, ‘Oh crap I can’t be elite so I have to go to the roads or the marathon.’ I thought of it completely differently. I thought, ‘I already suck so it doesn’t matter if I suck at the marathon or the track.’
This dude doesn't give a damn lol
Really cool. Good stuff Brojos
This is an incredible story.
Great choices by Letsrun. These are some of the most interesting articles I have read on here in a while.
Thank you for doing this. If there is ever an opportunity to do something like this in the future, please do it again. Just writing up the profiles and giving someone to root for is worth it.
"doubled in size" -- is Crowe really the same size as Bruce ...
You mean "doubled in number"?
Go get it at World Cross!
This is pretty cool stuff that LetsRun is doing. Wish it would get more press as it is a really cool story.
Go Matt and Kelsey!
Yes, words mean something wrote:

Go away. The size of the team was 1, it is now 2, it is now double the size.
Good luck Matt! This is awesome
This is awesome brojos. Matt's story truly embodies the "dreams become reality" tagline.
Good luck Matt!
Fantastic. Great read, go for it!
For as much flak as this board gets (from me included), this is very cool.
