Sam Chelanga 2nd White 2009 PreNats

who win the NCAA championship Chelanga or Derrick? if he was making excuse then why did he destroy everybody include Chriss Derrick? Chelanga is the man and no one is going to beat him!!!!

so much for sam getting smoked huh? I hope you watched the race today and enjoyed watching sam smoke the others! :)

this guy will get smoked at NCAAs. if it wasnt hard than why didnt he win? or why didnt he change up his race plan to show everyone it was easy? running off the front and than getting out kicked doesnt show me it wasnt hard. looked like he died to me....

haha "that wasn't hard, no that wasn't hard". i think chelanga will be national champ.

Really Josh and you're going to talk smack about Chelanga. He can beat you on his easy days. but your PRs are great im pretty sure sam could run those 7 years ago

Josh, no need to hate....props to you though, ive heard from Coach spence you can stay on the chode for 2-3 hours at at time

Josh, you know nothing about Sam. He isn't making excuses. Chris won, yeah. But wait for November.

HUSH

"not hard" and finishes second. I guess we should look forward to a strong finish later in the season...should be interesting

The debate about front running vs. sit & kick continues...Chelanga ran his usual aggressive, front running race similar to Steve Prefontaine's tactics. However, Chelanga is not as successful at front running as Prefontaine. I applaud Chelanga's bravery as an aggressive front runner, however in order to win Nationals, he has to either get stronger or sit & kick like Galen Rupp & Chris Derrick.

Sam "the excuse machine" Chalenga.

is a beast! chris derrick will get crushed by him at nats

this interviwer loves the extra 2k

he didnt go out hard!...that was slowest start ever by Sam!

last year first mile in 4:15 this year 4:33!
Yeah Sam...run your race and you will be OK for the final!

that wasnt fast, that was normal for me ..

Way to go Sammy!
