Konner is the only correct way. Everyone who is different from me and my one perspective is wrong.

Konnor Maloney runs for Hilsdale. It must be the correct spelling because Hillsdale is one of the most conservative colleges. They teach critical thinking and real life skills instead of crazy ideals.

LOL,
The Irony here is that they "choked" their way to a 2nd place finish against one of the best XC teams of all time with 4 All Americans.
If a performance like that can be considered "choking", you're in a pretty good place.

Yes they are very good, but can’t seem to have their best when it matters most. As a diehard fanboy, you’d have to be willfully ignorant not to see this. What’s the next unimportant meet for Rory to flex at?

If they "choked" their way to a #2 finish what does that make everyone else behind them?

tbh you sound more like a NAU fanboy more than anyone here seems like a BYU fanboy

Double Irish: Connor and McMillan.
May have lost the true faith over time but still Irish via bloodwork.
Eyestone won his 10k NCAA at Austin. No clear favorite this year, BYU will have lots of bullets in the chamber. Let’s see if they can fix the collapse they had last year in Eugene.
30 years of mileage on their legs

Obviously not as good? If the Warriors lost their series to the Rockets, that would be choking too.

Time for Old Mel to step up to the plate again and state how little we knew about training in the 1970s and 1980s.
Plus their were grass, clay, and (if you were lucky) cinder tracks. In addition medicine, equipment, facilities, and on and on were very different.) You guys run as fast as you do because of US. Do not forget that!!!
There was another thread here a week or so earlier about Kipchoge not drinking. I think what we are seeing is another supporting argument for a runner to abstain from alcohol. Sure, just like somebody can always think of some grandpa that smoked and lived to 90, we can find runners that drank and achieved fast times. But we need to realize the problem in our analysis of the data. Majority of people are drinkers. Out of that majority, there will a few that will have a combination of athletic talent and alcohol resistance sufficient to run world-class times and make it to the top, while the majority of others will suffer the fallout of their alcohol use and never reach their true potential. On the other hand, the non-drinkers will not make a dent until their number reaches the critical threshold. Once that happens, at first you should see just a disproportionate level of success relative to their number (e.g. 9 guys on the same team under 29:02) but nothing world shattering yet (e.g. 26:20). However, as their number and genetic pool reach continues to grow, you will see greater achievements - perhaps we will see one of them go under 27:00 in the 10,000 first, then 26:40, and on. However, I anticipate that the biggest impact will be seen in the marathon because healthy liver is much more of an advantage there vs let's say 10,000.
Haters gonna hate
hahaha that's cute. How many XC titles do they have?
