Disappointment in Boulder

What a terrible sentence.

I meant, I don't think his training stresses the femur specifically.

Yeah, Wetmore doesn't deserve anything good to happen to him. Neither does Goucher. Too bad it has to trickle down to the good guys.Don't count Jorge and Dathan out yet. And, don't knock Ed. He'll be running in Switzerland. You won't.

I too am really curious why Wetmore seems to be so disliked. Has he pissed off a lot of people by saying something or through his recruiting methods, or is it just that people are jealous? Would appreciate some insight.

Thanks.

Speaking only for myself, he is rude, almost no sence of humor, self promoting, back stabbing, and has questionable morals. Other than that , he is OK.

Where is that "Bitch Slap" guy now? You know the guy who was smoking Torres' pole and saying Cragg was his bitch. I think after Cragg's indoor season, there is little debate about who the best division 1 collegiate distance runner is.

I'm not sure how a great indoor season ends the debate over who is the best dI runner...Torres didn't run indoors. If Cragg slapped him around at indoor nats, then sure you could say Cragg is the current best.

Outdoors is going to be interesting...

Please, with all the whining about Wet. These posts come up once a month by someone who is bitter about not making the team, or the success of CU distance runners - and make no mistake it is a successful program. Name one All-American at CU in distance b4 Wetmore got there. Now name the 42+ All-American awards handed out since he has been there(obviously several to the same athlete in some instances). By the way, if your not from the tri-state area, especially if your from Boston, you probably hate the Yankees. And if you were not from Iowa and did not wrestle there, you would probably hate Dan Gables(one of the best US wrestlers ever, and best coaches ever - just ask Wetmore he will tell you) Gables pushed his grapplers to the limit physically, mentally and emotionally, many say too hard, and whined that he pushed kids over the edge, but his record speaks for itself, and an incredible number of kids made all-american while at Iowa.

And, there were in fact a couple of All-Americans at Cu before Wetmore, Mark Scrutton, back in the late 70's was a stud and Mike Nahom, was a walk-on to all-american in late 80's. Finally, to the fags that have a problem with Wet's training, give some specifics, which part don't you like, besides the rumor that he rides a bike along side the guys on easy days whith a whip, pushing them too hard - wah, wah!?!

Where do you get this stuff? From Wetmore?

Dave Wighton was the first CC All american in 1963. In '64 and '65 he came in second to John Lawson of KU. In '66 Runyon was All America as a sophomore, his first of three awards. In '67 CU put 3 ahead of Villinova's second man,(Donelly 23rd) 'Nova won the meet. In '68 CU had Runyon and Lunn as AllAmericans. The list is very long and didn't start with Wetmore.

i'm just guessing, but ed probably trained right through indoor nationals. i'm pretty sure if i made the world xc finals, i wouldn't really care too much about indoors. i would guess that he didn't taper at all for indoor nats. after all, he is going to switzerland

Be careful, you may burst some bubbles.

Runners train hard. Runners get hurt. Runners still train hard. Runners run fast. Runners may still get hurt.

Runner doesn't train hard. Runner stays healthy. Runner doesn't run fast.

You think that Torres, Goucher, and Ritz don't want to do the hard training Wetmore is having them do? It's my guess that they do. I'm sure they woudn't be content to just grab some 2nds and 3rds at the NCAA's. These guys want to challenge the best in the world. To do this they have to take some risks.

Aren't you the rude, self promoting, back stabbing runner with no morals?

You are the one coming on to a website to vent your bitterness about your college experience.

But don't worry, other than that, you are ok.

great run by ed at Nationals. Even better excuse that he was training through it! Give me a break!

Well he does have bigger fish to fry later this month.

I doubt that you know me, and I'm not bitter.

Then please explain your motives.

Smoo Matt asked a question, I answered for myself. That's my story, and I'm standing by it.

I think that running down a 14,000 ft. peak could strain the femur-amoung other things.

Yeah, and it's real common among those Pikes Peak marathoners. Idiot.

I'm totally by your side on this one. Don't you guys want to hear the truth from the people who really know it?

Not sure that this person would know the truth, since no personal identity has ever been revealed. WASABUFF could be ISAHOG or AMACARDINAL, for all we know.

You guys always are calling for identities. Who cares who anyone is?! That's totally ridiculous. Why don't YOU put YOUR name and email address on the computer for the world to see while you explain why you love Wetmore so much. Preposterous.
