Stanford's Chris Derrick enters is junior year as one of America's premiere distance runners. Last year he led the Cardinal through a dominate season but now reflects on his tactics at the NCAA Championship that he feels could have cost them the team title.
His freshman year was highlighted by a 7th place finish at NCAA's in cross country and an US junior record in the 5000 (which has since been broken). As a sophomore Derrick nailed down 3rd place in Terre Haute and rebounded from injury in the spring to place 4th in the 5000 at NCAA's in track.

The runners should prepare to run their own races.

Also, run some real XC courses through the season.

Nice interview Chris! I hope Dunn understands that even though winning a national championship is important, it isn't the most important thing in sport. Good luck to Stanford!

I'm a big German fan, but meeting Chris during the Stanford camp, he's a really chill guy and I wish him the best of luck throughout his racing career. He is a stud.

And Heath will more than likely finish in the top 10. Silly rabbit. And just to add insult to injury... finishing 10th last year and returning everyone is a great indication that they will relatively easily finish 10th or better again.

Derrick hasnt finished out of the top 7 in any NCAA event that he has competed in whether it is on the track or on the grass. of course derrick is going to finish in the top 10.

So: I'll let Sammy go, help my team to a title, then go after the individual title in 2011 when Old Man 27:10 is gone. Makes sense.

Just an opinion 2 years ago

So…….. ... Chris takes far too much blame for Stanford’s point meltdown last year!
Yes, he does take too much blame. That's because he is a man about it and carries the load.

This kid is even more impressive as a person than as a runner.

So…….. does this imply that it will be every man for himself at pre-nationals? Plus, I think it really ripped a lot of team leaders last year that OK State slipped in a won the title. Even with German nearly down again, they ran as a thick chunk throughout most of the race. Chris takes far too much blame for Stanford’s point meltdown last year!

man that beard is a pretty interesting look for chris. That being said, great interview and hopefully he has a great season. Will be interesting to see which of the 2 paths he chooses (chasing sammy C or running in the pack).

The NCAA title will not go to Stanford University this year and will not for few years to come as well done!!!!

lil ritz 2 years ago

this dude kinda reminds me of ritz.. like he could be his lil bro or something. imagine if he shaved the beard and had a short hair cut, he'd look just like him. and he kinda talks like him too except he has more of a mans voice.

MikeyB 2 years ago

wow....never expected that!

one thing for sure, Chris is a major talent.
